Italians stay winning as usual... :-)

But for real, Italian public administration digitalization isn’t as bad as people think when compared to other big countries. SPID (an electronic identity system, now deprecated) was years ahead of many other European countries (and easily, the US), and PEC (a certified email standard for official communications established in 2005, that can be used with standard email clients) is still more advanced than the often more complicated and closed systems used in many other places. The Italian standard also deeply influenced the EU standard: https://dl.acm.org/doi/fullHtml/10.1145/3560107.3560256

New comment by kome in "RFK Jr. plans to curb antidepressants, which he falsely compares to heroin"

kome — Wed, 06 May 2026 07:01:47 +0000

i know this is controversial in highly medicalized societies, but this is a good plan overall.

we still don't know why and how antidepressants work. we know they work, but we don't know why. and hell, to be honest, we still have a poor grasp of how depression works.

a priority is tho to limit reliance of the populace on "moms' little helpers", that might give dependency, and financial drain. and finding a humanist way to deal with depressions and its symptoms.

i feel american society is not ready for it, popping pills is way easier, but it is important to start somewhere.

Opera 12 was so good, so fast, on ANY hardware, so innovative, so quirky. When Opera became Chrome-based, I moved to Firefox. I just don’t want Google spyware on my computer.

in what Europe are you living sorry? The only one outspoken against the war have been the Spanish. UK, Italy and Germany are on it - offering logistical support and everything the US needs.
