Solidarietà al popolo della #Sicilia, che oggi si vede nel pieno di una crisi idrica drammatica.

È il momento di esigere la ripubblicizzazione (come è stato espresso nello scorso #Referendum) degli impianti di distribuzione dell'#acqua ma soprattutto... di piantare #alberi!
La desertificazione si combatte anche rendendo il bioma più solido.

Della #siccità siciliana, ne parla persino il #TheGuardian: https://www.theguardian.com/world/article/2024/jul/01/drought-leaves-sicilian-farmers-facing-uncertain-future

‘We can’t let the animals die’: drought leaves Sicilian farmers facing uncertain future

Me: "I would understand if #JA and the #WikiLeaks journalists wanted to move on [..] They have given and sacrificed so much [..] At the same time[..] you can expect everything from #JA and #WikiLeaks"

I told #BenQuinn:

“They are the winter soldiers who have always been there, without recognition.”

“Mario Fusco, a great software developer, once said: ‘The code you write makes you a programmer. The code you delete makes you a good one. The code you don’t have to write makes you a great one.’ So maybe, for once, AI is on to something.”
