Thinking more about 'identity' cards and apps has reminded me that I didn't have to provide *any* proof of who I was when I applied for my first passport. I just went to the Post Office and filled out a form.
"My word is my bond" was sufficient back then (1983ish)

@AlisonW There were two authenticating steps then, though. (I did that too.) Firstly, you attended the PO *in person*. And secondly, your passport photo was signed on the back by someone with a public reputation—GP, lawyer, bank manager, someone. So arguably an informal distributed "web of trust" approach existed.
This model broke down at the same time the "job for life" went away.

"Fragile, disabile, affidato allo Stato: la storia di una vita spezzata da un carcere che non cura e non protegge"
Ho letto tutto lo scritto .
Razionalmente ho capito tutto .
Socialmente , istintivamente ed emotivamente non so cosa pensare .
C'è qualcuno che mi sa indicare e aprire le porte ,
empaticamente ?
Senza dare niente per scontato ?

@hpod16 The reactions to your arrival here have been amazing, it seems people really want more EU in the Fediverse 😅
Recently, a group of MEPs wrote a letter to the EC about promoting Europe-based social networks. I think Mastodon is already primed for this role, we just need more active users (from institutions and politicians as well).
ps: by the way, it's a pleasure to meet a colleague (I work as an IT consultant for the JRC 😉)

@stranobiovolta @attualita secondo me, visto che è stata pensata da Berlusconi, è sbagliata a priori
