giocomai: Given the current lack of development, lack of support for activity pub, and likely out-phasing of interoperability with the fediverse, I finally set up a pleroma instance. I will post from there g@fed.giorgiocomai.eu / https://fed.giorgiocomai.eu/g

giocomai: Since Italy's government for whatever ridiculous reason does not publish electoral data in a machine readable format until months after elections, I made use of the access to a secured json-based system reserved to media outlets to extract everything and convert to csv: https://github.com/giocomai/elezioni_europee_2019_italia_csv

giocomai: In relation to the Google/Huwaei scandal... I have to say I feel uncomfortable with (unenforceable) notices included even in open source projects such as Fedora (see pic). I suppose it's just their legal departments and everybody understands this is meaningless, and yet, it is a troubling reminder of what depending on a US-based initiative implies. https://social.giorgiocomai.eu/attachment/45802

Riflessioni e dettagli tecnici che proseguono una riflessione avviata su Valigia Blu da Bruno Saetta sull'importanza dell'interoperabilità - https://www.valigiablu.it/big-tech-politica-oligopolio/ . Lettura raccomandata. In pratica, l'interoperabilità non è cosa semplice: molti sono gli ostacoli tecnici, legali ed economici. Si porrebbero nuove questioni di riservatezza e sicurezza. Ma la democrazia vive di soluzioni complesse e plurali, si indebolisce quando cerca di nascondere le complessità.
