  • Andy Warhol artwork may have been thrown out in Dutch town hall revamp

    Jump

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

  • Digital Identities and the Future of Age Verification in Europe

    Jump

  • 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.

  • Call for army to protect Italian hospital staff after spate of attacks

    Jump

  • 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.

  • The Right-Wing Campaign to Purge Women From Women’s Sports

    Jump

  • 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 Right-Wing Campaign to Purge Women From Women’s Sports

    Jump

  • 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.

  • The Right-Wing Campaign to Purge Women From Women’s Sports

    Jump

  • 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?

  • Firefox enables user tracking

    Jump

  • 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.

    Not a permanent dock. Docks predate Apple any way.

  • GNOME June 2024: C'mon you can do better

    Jump

  • 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.

  • GNOME June 2024: C'mon you can do better

  • What does the founder of GNOME have to do with GNOME in 2022? He worked for Microsoft for 6 years.

  • ‘Hotel on rails’ Midnight Trains announce end of project before it actually started operations

    Jump

  • Right, Midnight Trains was a French company trying to create a European night train network that centred on France, specifically on Paris. I think they found out the hard way that for various reasons, as they detailed in their blog, France might not be the best country in which to organise such a company; it also might have been simply too ambitious of a project for the current market.

  • Cigarette-style climate warnings on food could cut meat consumption, study suggests

    Jump

  • Tens of thousands of people across Europe already don't own anything anymore because of recent calamities caused by climate change, yet people continue to bring in this stupid phrase trying to say that the solution will be worse than what we are already going through because of the many mistakes we made in managing resources, of which food production is one.

  • Bologna seals off ‘leaning tower’ over fears it is tilting too far

    Jump

  • Survivor bias, we don't know about all the towers that did in fact lean to far and fell over the centuries.

  • Questions and answers on the Single Currency Package / Digital Euro

    Jump

  • Yes, bank accounts are still (only) bank accounts, which they have been for centuries with only cash (coins or banknotes) and paper-based accounting. Isn't this the point? If the digital euro is to be a digital analogue for cash, surely one would expect it to play the same role as cash, which isn't the form to store your entire wealth and belonging, but to serve as an easily tradeable and transportable form of money. The ECB doesn't want to provide and manage bank accounts, or rather no central bank does as it's simply not what banking has always been, it's always been a private endeavour.

    I think the digital convenience of "anonymous" payments is real, and also that the ECB wanting to implement the digital euro as an online e-commerce compatible system from the beginning, directly challenging various different payment circuits with a single universal one, is also a significant development.

  • Questions and answers on the Single Currency Package / Digital Euro

    Jump

  • At the moment the idea that I have understood reading the various documents and interviews is that the digital euro wallets will not be a sort of bank account managed by the ECB, but they will be managed by the private banks (with similar guarantees for banking inclusion as existing bank accounts) and will be interoperable in order to use the common ECB-backed digital euro.

    Therefore you still have the banks managing the infrastructure; also to convince the banks to adhere and not to completely destroy the existing electronic payment circuits there is a proposal to have a limit on the maximum transaction amount.

  • Kitagawa's sexual abuse: the other side of the Japanese teen-idol market

    Jump

  • I would also like to add that another horrible treatment of young men and women involved in the Japanese idol market (I would call it a meat market even) is the immense social pressure from the talent companies, which has been ruled illegal and unconstitutional, to keep romantic relationships secret, to always appear "available" to the fans. Despite the rulings there are still idols who get caught up in "scandals" from time to time and are more or less forced to issue massive apologies or leave their agency.

  • What’s Happening in Italy Is Scary, and It’s Spreading

    Jump

  • The centre-left parties in Italy have been pushing for a minimum wage law since the early spring, when the biggest party (PD) finished its congress and a new direction was elected. The right wing majority has now voted to delay any kind of discussion on the law proposal for two months, and the right wing minister for external affairs has gone on record saying things like "minimum wage is a Soviet measure" and "we need a rich wage, not minimum wage".
