The silence of the countryside, broken only by the songs of birds and the whisper of the wind through the trees, is the perfect setting for a #SilentSunday
Italy’s far-right party proposed using AI to assign youth mandatory jobs.
“The young person will no longer be able to choose whether to work or not, but [will be] bound to accept the job offer for himself (sic), for his family and for the country, under penalty of loss of all benefits.”
Italian singer Ghali said "Stop the Genocide" during a music festival seen by over 13 mil people.
The Israeli ambassador complained about his "shameful message of hate" and that Ghali "should not have used the stage to say such 'provocative' things."
Ghali's response was clear: "What the ambassador said is awful. He's adding to the politics of terror where Italians are afraid they might lose their jobs, their reputations if they say 'Long Live Peace," which is absurd." #Italy#Ghali#Genocide
Astronauts from Turkey, Italy and Sweden return to Earth, ending private space station trip.
AP reports the three countries "financed the mission, paying roughly $55 million apiece. It was Axiom’s third private mission to the space station; the fourth is planned later this year."
Evening is descending upon Mantova, Italy. Like every day for the past 2000 years, the city is preparing to slumber. The last rays of the sun are casting their final glow upon the tranquil waters, which flow with a soothing, melodic murmur.
And I ponder how many things, people, and events those waters have mirrored. A new morning will arrive, bathing those ancient bricks in fresh light, just as it has for the last 2000 years.
In the gentle embrace of twilight, nature orchestrates a symphony of elements. Water, still as glass, mirrors the fiery kiss of the setting sun, cradling the reflection of Earth's slumbering giants, the trees stripped of their verdant glory. Air, the unseen maestro, whispers through the branches, composing a silent lullaby that speaks of the day's end. Like a moment suspended in time, a tender pause between the rush of days, reminding us of the quiet majesty that cradles our bustling lives.
On a cold winter day, it aims for the sun and warms himself with its gentle warmth.
The sun isn't always strong enough to warm our lives, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't try to catch every single ray that life offers.
Tech detail: Photo taken with the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra. I've taken similar ones with the iPhone 13 Pro Max and the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra. The significant difference is that with the other two devices, the bokeh around the flower was noticeably off, blurring even the petals. The S24 seems to do a significantly better job.
A letter written by a Roman emperor helped lead a team of archaeologists to an ancient temple that "adds significant insights into the social changes" from pagan beliefs to Christianity in the Roman Empire, experts announced recently.
Last but not least, we are extremely happy to be able to spend time with the #FSFE#Italy Team and the members of the Italian #FreeSoftware community who joined us last Sunday for our social event! 💚
