Il nostro amico @ccohanlon segnala una bella barca a vela in vendita: https://merveilles.town/@ccohanlon/113140938423057478
Ho guardato il sito: NON È una barca "da ricchi" (9,70 m, 7 posti letto), ma una coppia capace di adattarsi ci potrebbe vivere sopra.
E costa meno (molto meno!) di un'auto nuova.

Update. Very good news: The the European Commission picked #OpenJournalSystems (#OJS) to be the #OpenSource core of #OpenResearchEurope (#ORE).

The primary research platform for hosting EC-funded #OpenAccess research will finally now (at its core) be #OpenInfrastructure.

@seachanger it's not mastodon. It's akooma

That's why it looks different. Because it is :)
Starlink's share of failed satellites (space debris without counting lingering rocket pieces) now amounts to ~7% of all functioning satellites around Earth. To me this looks like a scary rate of failure.

@derekmorr @axios he's registered the company on the Virgin Islands. Call this misguided
@mike @Transportist I'm using different accounts for different languages. Some people would use different accounts for different topics. The real challenge is being transparent to a potential follower, so they could choose which one they want to follow.
@vics a small development team manages to keep their visions aligned much better. With increase of complexity and with passage of time, inevitably also the bloat grows.
The magic in Linux is not its simplicity, but the fact it improves usability over time.

@muiiio @panther_ in my experience Italy is like Bulgaria, but without the fear of катаджии. In some sense this makes it worse.
This one is a completely true story, written out of frustration:

Because of the you-know-what-site ban, many people from Brazil are moving to Mastodon, including Artists, so let's do an Art Share for them only! Let's help them get the boost they need around here!
ARTISTS FROM BRAZIL
- In the comments, introduce yourself and show your art!
PEOPLE NOT FROM BRAZIL
- Boost this post and the ones from brazilian artists in the comments!

Ok, it's official now: I'm going to give a talk about satellite pollution at a UN (!!) workshop.
I have very mixed feelings about this! It's 100% in person, which is SO much stupid travel pollution (in order to try to stop so much stupid satellite pollution, ugh). But it's in Milan!! I've never even thought about going to Milan, it's just so fancy and out of reach. So... wow.
@mapto@masto.bg @sundogplanets as for seeing, I'd suggest you don't miss the chance to extend your visit. Of course one option, that I consider overly ambitious, is trying to visit all the touristy places in Italy like Florence and Venice. You can get to these and even to Rome by high speed train, but would need to stay for at least one night to get a feeling.
In a long weekend around Milan you could get to enjoy the Alps (lake Como) and maybe the Mediterranean (Genova), dedicating one very intensive day to each of these.
If you choose to focus on the city, very attractive zones are Navigli (nice channels), Brera (boutiques), Isola (more hipster), not to mention Duomo (the cathedral) and Castello. A few museums and galleries are also worthwhile, but it depends what you're keen on. Suggesting to you the Leonardo Museum of Science would be too much of a cliche. :)

@euronews the headline of this article might as well be full hybrid car sales taking over the EU market. Between people's desire to move away from fossils and the disappointing electric vehicle promise, the Toyota-led middle way is showing to be the most realistic. It is by far not enough, but at least it is making headway towards finding an alternative.
