#lafeltrinelli evidentemente si trova in un mondo parallelo in cui il premio letterario più importante del mondo non esiste: dei libri del #nobel László #Krasznahorkai a corso Buenos Aires non c'è la minima traccia #imbarazzante #fail

I really enjoyed spending the day at the #LuxembourgOpenSourceConference: lots of useful insights and interesting practical cases of #opensource usage at all levels of #publicadministration in Europe and around the world.

Today is the European Day of Languages. And this year, we mark 25 years of celebrating multilingualism in our Union. 🥳

Languages open doors. They help us connect, explore cultures, make lifelong friends, and journey further.

We remain stronger, united in our diversity.

Europe is in a fight.

A fight for our liberty and our ability to determine our destiny for ourselves.

This must be Europe’s Independence Moment.

A moment we can seize if we're united ↓

#WeRemember🕯️

We honour the memory of victims that were part of the atrocious Roma Holocaust taking more than 500,000 lives.

Today marks 10 years since the EU officially recognised this day.

We stand united against antigypsyism — today and every day.

Royally pissed with #luxair for cancelling my flight from Linate to Luxembourg scheduled for 10am today, notifying me of this AFTER their helpdesk had closed and rebooking me on a flight leaving at 9,15 from Malpensa with no possibility to discuss alternative options.

12 June 1929 | A German Jewish girl, Anne Frank, was born in Frankfurt.

In 1942 on her 13th birthday she received an empty diary. She perished in Bergen-Belsen concentration camp in 1945.

Competition on Spain’s railways is driving down prices
Spain’s high-speed railways have had a major shake-up in recent years. The result? Lower prices, greater availability and more passengers.

I find It quite fascinating that a company as big and successful as #ikea would be so incredibly shit at managing home deliveries... What's the point making me choose a day and time slot if there is no intention nor capacity to keep that promise? #fail

They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will *stop paywalling* articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage.
Wired is dropping paywalls for FOIA-based reporting. Others should follow
As the administration does its best to hide public records from the public, Wired magazine is stepping up to help stem the secrecy

Remember how the EU was meant to be a single market?
The EC has launched an evaluation of the geo-blocking regulation to see how well it has worked in removing barriers + promoting cross-border trade:
