Il forte #terremoto di M 4.7 ha riacceso dubbi e timori sullo stato dei #CampiFlegrei. C'è il rischio di un'eruzione? Ci dobbiamo aspettare altre scosse? Ecco cosa sappiamo su quella che è a tutti gli effetti la crisi bradisismica più intensa della storia recente del vulcano 🧵
Hideo Kojima on the end of physical disc production for video games:
"Since production is ending in 2028, this is about video games, but I grew up with physical media, so I find it really sad. Currently, I’ve been buying up a lot of Blu-rays, such as various movies, and CDs too.
The situation is different for games, as they are downloaded to the hard drive, that means the game data remains on your own hardware. However, if things shift to streaming in the future, that won’t be the case anymore.
With streaming subscription services, like Netflix or Amazon, there is a server somewhere, and you essentially just have the right to turn the tap, and when you do, the data flows out. That’s how movies work on these platforms, right? You don't download the data, you access it directly through a subscription. And the consequence of that is that you don't actually possess the data yourself.
There are companies that own these servers and let you 'turn the tap' for a monthly fee. However, with nations, politics and various ways of thinking, one naturally has to consider the possibility that if there is a change, the data inside will stop being distributed. And if that happens you won’t be able to watch or play the movies and games you like.
That is what is frightening.
So, what is happening to video games in 2028, might also happen to movies. I’d like everyone to keep that in mind."
Gavin Newsom roasts “pathetic” European leaders in Davos over Trump appeasement:
“This guy is playing people for fools. It’s embarrassing. This isn’t diplomacy, it’s stupidity.”
“He’s a T-Rex: you either meet him head-on or he devours you, one way or the other.”
“Everybody is talking behind his back, they’re laughing at him, meanwhile they’re sucking up to him. It’s embarrassing.”
Ukrainian journalist Viktoriia Roshchyna was tortured to death in Russian captivity, The Guardian
Her body was returned without eyes, brain, or larynx. Burn marks on her feet. Stab wounds. Broken rib. Signs of strangulation. 1/
Il ragionamento sarebbe che è stato chi ha raccontato la strage, o i civili ucraini che hanno contato i cadaveri (inventandoli, evidentemente, secondo lui), che hanno fatto deragliare i negoziati di pace, non i responsabili della strage. Qual è la differenza con quelli secondo cui a Gaza le madri recitano i lutti e i cadaveri sono di bambolotti truccati da morti?
@fakehistoryhunt No. Although it is historically inaccurate, it is still correct to call it "Roman Salute", or ("saluto romano", in italian) simply because it has been used for almost a century now. In other words, the fake origin of the name was debunked long ago but you can't deny its use.
Georgia: On top of the electoral integrity violations reported by observers, the widespread tampering in favour of the government is visible also in the detailed official results counts.
Europe Elects was independently able to reproduce the markings of fraud.

comunque a rigor di logica se un parlamentare si intrufolasse al ministero e chiudesse #Salvini per 19 giorni nel suo ufficio sarebbe anch'egli legittimato dal voto popolare ed io NON sto suggerendo assolutamente nulla #OpenArms#Meloni
Nei centri di accoglienza non verrà più insegnato l’italiano ai migranti perché il decreto soprannominato Cutro ha stabilito di limitare i servizi complementari del sistema di accoglienza.https://t.co/y9ZUANrJ19
Historically, much of the gender gap in earnings could be explained by differences in education and occupational choices. However, this year’s economic sciences laureate Claudia Goldin has shown that the bulk of this earnings difference is now between men and women in the same occupation, and that it largely arises with the birth of the first child.
