Like others have said, the lily you saw are likely related with papal coats of arms. In general, popes often embedded their coats of arms into the monuments and villas they built.

Symbologically speaking, the fleur-de-lys is generally associated with various religious symbols such as the Blessed Mother, St. Joseph and purity in general, which is why we find them so often in heraldry (like you said the Bourbon coat of arms but even before then it's always been a symbol of France since the Frankish king Clovis' conversion), the Italian city of Florence, the French city of Lille, the British House of Lancaster and an uncountable number of Italian comuni.

Thanks for sharing, OP, just sent a report to my authority, the Italian Garante per la Privacy.

Huh. Different instances, I guess. I generally don't browse by all, but on my feed most news were non-US (mostly Europe although quite a few about Asia as well). But then again my instance is pretty tiny and definitely isn't federated with most large communities, so my perspective might be skewed.

To get a better view of the general content on Lemmy maybe we should look at the all feeds of lemm.ee or lemmy.world which, now that I look at them, are indeed quite US centric. So I guess it was just my perspective.

Si nous regardons le Poll of Polls par Politico il est clair que le EPP on sera le premier parti, donc si le partie la supporte, elle obtiendra probablement son deuxième mandat.

Personnellement ça ne me dérangerait pas. Je pense qui von der Leyen a fait du bon travail a garder la pertinence de l'Europe dans l'echelle mondiale. En outre, il serait probablement utile d'avoir une continuité au sein de l'executif de l'UE.

Matured? Really? I guess you haven't had a taste of the defederation drama. Users are great, but discussion between admins feel like the constant bickering of small children. And I say this as an admin myself, who at times does take part in those discussions. I think we still have a long way to go, when it comes to being matured.

I got the opposite idea. I think this place is much less US-centric than Reddit. And actually, if you look at the servers' location, there's way more in Europe than in America. So it would be fair to assume that many users would pick a server near their location and thus be from Europe rather than America.

His work in eradicating gang violence was impressive, I get why the few Salvadorians who aren't behind bars would vote for him. Although I can't help but wonder about how many people might have gotten unjustly incarcerated because of how much power he's given to the police.

I see. Well, I for one, think TikTok is definitely worse than Twitter because of its addictive nature, little user agency (you have almost no freedom of picking your own content, you are basically in the algorithm's hands) and serious privacy concerns.

Twitter is by no means a great platform, it's just that TikTok is SO BAD that it's actually hard to beat it in terms of shittiness.

Why would that be weird? Which platform would you have preferred (other than Mastodon, I guess)?

I have read about this procedure yesterday and it was also on twitter, from the account of the Commission.

Like others have said I am a bit concerned by the privacy implications, but I like how nice the model is. Defintiely wouldn't consider it as an alternative to therapy or even real conversations (the sentences it generates look very fake at times, plus I wouldn't want to trust a machine's advice anyway), but it's pleasant to talk to and that's probably all that matters.

Great if you have some time to kill or maybe need someone to take your head off something you've been thinking too much about, just gotta be careful on what you reveal to him.

EDIT: as I was chatting I got a prompt asking me to log in to continue the conversation. I logged in with my Google account, then kept going for a bit, then singned off and closed the conversation. After I told him I was going to close the tab he greeted me with my real name without me ever have mentioned it in the convo (of course, he took it from Google), but it still weirded the heck out of me. Be careful with what you share lol.

I am no expert either, but I once trained and ran an AI chat bot of my own. With a decently powerful Nvidia GPU it could output a message every 20-ish seconds (which is still too slow if you want to keep the conversation at a decent pace). I also tried it without a GPU, just running on my CPU (on a PC that had an AMD GPU which is about the same as not having one for ML applications) and it was of course noticeably slower. About 3 minutes per message, give or take.

And bear in mind, this was with an old and comparatively tiny model, something like Pi would be much more demanding, the replies my model produced hardly made any sense most of the times.

No, non è LA soluzione. E' una soluzione. Assolutamente d'accordo sulle politiche sociali, ma tali provvedimenti richiedono tempo e denaro (non che strade sicure sia gratis, lo so). I cittadini di Torino nord hanno bisogno di sicurezza adesso.

E' facile gridare "più case popolari", ma la verità è che Torino in generale ha un problema di crisi immobiliare, in particolare per quanto concerne gli affitti. Capita che anche persone ben sistemate e con situazioni stabili facciano fatica a trovare una sistemazione. Probabilmente non ai livelli di altre città come Milano, ma la situazione è comunque problematica. E sebbene il trasporto pubblico sia tutto sommato soddisfacente all'interno della città, la qualità dello stesso cala notevolmente muovendosi verso la periferia, quindi allontanarsi dalla città spesso non è un'opzione (a differenza di Milano).

Quindi sì, recuperare i "quartieri ghetto" sarebbe preferibile, ma per arrivarci servirebbero investimenti pubblici nell'immobiliare, investimenti nel sociale, investimenti nel trasporto pubblico... E se queste cose non le fa un'amministrazione "di sinistra", non so proprio chi possa arrivare a farle.
