Yes, we shall probably remain in the EU if the MPs at Westminster finally come to their senses. However, the UK is already a loser as a result of invoking Article 50. The ongoing reputational damage to the UK will possibly cost the country 5-7 billion euros year-on-year for the next fifteen years! Thanks Nigel Farage, Boris Johnson, Michael Gove, John Redwood, Bill Cash, Kate Hoey, Frank Field and a cast of thousands. You did us proud, NOT!
Record-breaking heat wave and "catastrophic" wildfires hit Australia. This the first time that Queensland's fire danger has been rated as "catastrophic," which is the highest threat level on their scale. - https://www.axios.com/heat-wave-and-catastrophic-wildfires-hit-australia-1ccb8643-6265-4b91-8b89-e4052789535e.html

Curation? Almost certainly the future of news!
Setting up a server we plan to use to host #foss, possibly #decentralized applications like #pleroma, #matrix, #peertube, #nextcloud, independent websites and other tools.
Aim is to help local projects, #circularEconomy structures and other like-minded people and projects to get the data back in their hands.
We are doing the whole thing as a #faircoop local node atm, and part of the funds for the server were donated by faircoop. Server itself is physically hosted in Naples, at the Ex-Asilo Filangieri
Exciting times.

One of the main reasons I hate living in the city is the sense that outside planned gatherings of friends, we're all atomised individuals doing individual things with no hope of commonality or solidarity. Bumping into people with random but real connections is a small but nice counterpoint to that
