I've learned about this restoration proposal from other social media, and the cost estimates are pretty striking to me. I am Italian, so obviously it's not strange to think about old buildings hosting government bodies, and also old buildings requiring closure, maintenance and restoration. But this scale is wild.

I think the period in which the current Palace was built might just be unfortunate: not old enough to be built like a tank, because it wasn't build privately by aristocrats or sovereigns but budgets and government were already involved, but not new enough to be completely fit for modern purposes and future-proof; also there are probably various materials and construction techniques that make it unsafe.

La "sicurezza" fornita dallo Stato che spia ONG, giornalisti e oppositori politici... Grande fiducia nella gestione di CIEid! Per non parlare del fatto che se non ti funziona per qualsiasi motivo sei a piedi, mentre con SPID puoi scegliere un altro provider.

Poi l'ipocrisia di opporsi ai privati in SPID solo perché si può farlo mentre per il wallet europeo non si potrà perché deriva da una direttiva UE, anzi sono i primi ad incensare l'opportunità di aprirlo ai privati. In diversi Paesi l'identità digitale è fornita anche da soggetti privati, almeno SPID è comunque molto più centralizzato e controllato rispetto ad esempio agli scandinavi BankID gestiti da consorzi bancari privati ma utilizzati per tutto. Poi, manco a dirlo, pubblico o privato nell'identità digitale non cambierà niente nella lentezza infinita del processo di digitalizzazione della pubblica amministrazione in Italia.

The Guardian only talks about Warhol, but there was a total of 46 art works lost. They weren't all made by him.

In case of minors and pornography, most societies have come to the conclusion that there is no problem with that.

If some people want to fight this, they should fight this issue (this would be very much a losing battle in all places in my opinion), not age verification systems, because the second would not exist without laws like the first one.

Italian people are already used to having the army do public order tasks; operation "safe roads" was introduced in 2008 and has been renewed ever since, by every government. This operation is essentially just the use of military personnel for patrol, deterrence and setting checkpoint in Italian cities.

I believe it is important to sooner or later discuss this and to end it, as it has negative effects on the soldiers and also in general on how law enforcement is structured and thought of by governments and politicians. However this is by no means a proposal that for the first time would give military personnel responsibilities for public order nor it has anything to do with fascism.

Scommetto che, siccome si tratta di piscine, sono stati mischiati ipoclorito di sodio e acido cloridrico (detto acido muriatico), sviluppando cloro gassoso. Probabilmente è una delle reazioni tossiche più comuni utilizzando normali prodotti di vendita libera per la pulizia, forse dovremmo direttamente scriverci sopra "non utilizzare assolutamente in combinazione" ciascuno con l'altro e poi chi davvero sa cosa sta facendo può ignorare l'avviso utilizzando il proprio giudizio.

Be it by birth, by hormones or whatever, he/she does not qualify as a woman. That’s a fact.

Khelif has been allowed to compete in female boxing by the IOC under their parameters, and by various other tournaments in the past.

That’s also the reason why the opponent of this particular fight, resisted to bump gloves after the fight, which is usually performed, out of rejection for that unfair fight.

This is not the explanation that Angela Carini gave to the public when interviewed. She said that she was overwhelmed by the fight, which she ended by retiring after 46 seconds, and could not think straight. She apologised for it. You are putting words in her mouth.

And history has shown Khelif was NOT allowed to fight agains other female atheltes in the past.

Khelif has took part in female boxing for the majority of her life.

The far right prime minister of Italy attacked Khelif saying that it's an injustice that she was allowed to compete, and far right politicians all over the world have started calling her a man flat out.

Why did the IOC, which has been organising boxing at the Olympics since 2019, come to the opposite conclusion of the IBA when considering Khelif's participation?

All of these claims clash with the reality of so many core open source projects, used by private users and massive corporations alike, that rely on single voluntary developers or super small groups which receive no flowers and no donations.

GNOME 3 was officially launched a few months after OS X Lion, but combined these things into one first.

How it manages to use up more resources than KDE is beyond me.

It can happen when you have to develop all your technology on your own instead of relying on the work of a hundred-million dollar company that does the heavy lifting for you.
