Dear Fedi friends,

You asked for it and here it is: an #Italian version of my Fedi promo video:

https://news.elenarossini.com/fediverso-video/

Or as I like to think about it: a video about the #Fediverse that even my non-techie mom would understand.

I hope you'll find this useful in spreading the word about the Fediverse with your Italian friends and family.

Alas these are all the languages I speak (Italian, French, English) but there are other foreign versions by volunteers coming soon.

Un video che spiega cos'è il fediverso in 4 minuti: un universo digitale dove la privacy è rispettata e il potere torna finalmente nelle mani degli utenti

"A cyclist is a disaster for the country's economy: he does not buy cars and does not borrow money to buy. He does not pay for insurance policies. He does not buy fuel, does not pay for the necessary maintenance and repairs. He does not use paid parking. He does not cause serious accidents. He does not require multi-lane highways. He does not get fat.
Healthy people are neither needed nor useful for the economy. They don't buy medicine. They do not go to hospitals or doctors. Nothing is added to the country's GDP (gross domestic product).
On the contrary, every new McDonald's restaurant creates at least 30 jobs: 10 cardiologists, 10 dentists, 10 dietary experts and nutritionists, and obviously, people who work at the restaurant itself."
Choose carefully: cyclist or McDonald's? It is worth considering.
P.S. Walking is even worse. Pedestrians don't even buy bicycles.
P.P.S. If you have read this far and still don't get it, this post is SATIRE. Reread it with this in mind.

Russia is complaining that bombing a Sovereign state is illegal.

Irony just died.

I’ve mentioned this elsewhere, but going on record here:

This thing where AI consumes AI-generated content to “make the AI better”?

It’s Mad Cow Disease for computers.

Started wiring the #GiganticUnicorn. First 2 rows have been wired for the @pimoroni.com old school Unicorn hats, USB leads for the keybows are installed and dressed. Just six more rows plus power left to wire.

Good to see that @Mastodon has hit pause on the new ToS and are going to revisit the offending clauses.

Went for a hike on Wrinkle Hill in the eastern part of The Vejle River Valley today. The light was optimal for photography, and the sky had some pretty clouds too.

This place is only a 30 minute drive from the city, and it is completely quiet — no cars, no noise, just the sound of grasshoppers, cows and birds singing.

A good place to rest the mind.

We've come a long, long way... (Top screenshot is StarOffice from the mid-'90s, and bottom is LibreOffice today.)

Cicadas are able to live under ground for 17 years before they rise to the surface. They are the first known insects to have developed this unique ability to avoid the Trump presidency.

It's the time of year when I get to be super #solarpunk - cutting back the vegetation that's starting to shade the #solar panels that run the solarcene server.

Adding to my #solarpunk bingo card, just had to service my #aeroponics system as noticed the pump wasn't activating.

Will write up the project soon
