Yes. And I’m all for it!!

Exactly. Bancomat Pay is simply not as used as Satispay. Plus, you can’t just sign-up for Bancomat Pay; your bank must support it.

Compare to MobilePay in Denmark or Vipps in Norway: everybody uses them.

Good, but I’m Italian and I’ve almost never heard of Bancomat Pay. We either use Satispay or foreign apps such as PayPal.

So I don’t see this initiative getting any traction in Italy soon. What a wasted chance.

You can, but only on one specific instance :)

Stop using the term “sideloading”, as if it was something bad.

It’s just installing apps. Google will restrict installing apps and force users to only install the apps that they want you to install.

“Google will restrict installing apps from 2027”

Sounds clear and to the point to me.

I don’t agree with your vision. I agree with the fact that some European countries stole resources from Africa, but Italy in particular didn’t rake pretty much anything: Italy didn’t have big colonies until Mussolini tried to build his own empire after 1930, without much success anyway; they only made some mess in Libya and in the Horn of Africa, which are not even the places all those immigrants are coming from.

Plus, the real problem is that there’s somebody else currently raking Africa: it’s China.

Since China is coming out of poverty, they need somebody to take advantage of, and they decided to “colonize” Africa. Not real colonization like Europe did in previous centuries, but a silent control of their economy, slowly buying their politicians and their natural resources extraction companies.

I don’t think that the right reparations for what Europe did in the past is welcoming all kinds of immigrants with no control whatsoever.

First, indiscriminate immigration leads to ghettos and poverty, and a lack of integration.

Second, so many immigrants is the perfect way for far right wing parties to win elections, by appealing to the base instincts of people. Even worse now, because Russia is directly financing both far right wing parties and misinformation campaigns in general.

The kind of immigration we had in the 40s was way different than the one we have nowadays though. Come to Italy and you’ll see what l mean. You would be scared to walk alone at night.

Treaties can be changed. And also the veto power can (and hopefully will) change.

No, they just scroll reels endlessly. Like TikTok. It’s a plague, short videos are addictive.

In a way, maybe it’s better like this. I miss the old internet, and the fediverse is the closest thing we have.

I’m Italian and I have taste 😂

The United Nations can say what they want, but I wouldn’t want it on a serious company website

I mean. If you want to use it in a serious project, that anime-looking girl is completely out of place.

Remember: it’s not age verification. It’s mass surveillance.

We really didn’t learn anything from Snowden.

I think it’s doable if the server can connect to the onion network on its side

I wish it was so simple

I wish the fediverse would allow federating with Tor-protected instances

Greenland is part of the Danish kingdom but it’s not in the EU unfortunately.

They chose in very different times.

I bet Greenland would totally join the EU nowadays.
