I'm from New Zealand however I hadn't heard of this case until it reappeared in the media today.
Jim Donnelly worked at a large steel mill in Auckland, New Zealand and disappeared after arriving at work one morning. He went into his office, missed a subsequent meeting that morning, and was never seen again.
A massive search took place of both the mill and other areas where he may have been to, but Jim has never been found. His car was initially thought to be gone from site but was eventually located parked far from his usual car park.
5 days later, his hard hat was found next to an industrial acid bath on the mill site, and when drained his palm pilot, identification card and his work key was in the acid bath. No human remains were found, and his home and car keys have never been located.
His wife is still searching for answers even after 17 years.
I would prefer we focus on the technology than trying to kick people out of our community. It is impossible to achieve and only makes us look more hostile. 🌈
Personally, I appreciate his efforts (particularly when risking his real name in the process). I think everyone gets a little enthusiastic and gets overly invested in discussion details now and then, but we're all pushing for the same thing here.
Bygones, y'all.
Era il lontano 2014 quando una battuta su Berlusconi veniva censurata in una puntata di How I Met Your Mother. Al tempo eravamo freschi di Berlusconismo e la puntata era trasmessa da Mediaset, perciò nessuna sorpresa sulla censura che comunque fece abbastanza notizia.
Io personalmente me ne ricordo pure un'altra, avvenuta nella puntata 03x02 della (bellissima) serie Veep, sempre nel 2014:
Battute originali: Has POTUS gone nuts? We can't have a crazy president. -In Italy they do.
Traduzione: ...non possiamo avere un presidente pazzo! -Ne abbiamo avuti tanti...
Fast forward a otto anni dopo, nel presente, quando l'altra sera mi sono stupito (ma non sorpreso) che non abbiamo ancora superato ed elaborato tanti anni di Berlusconismo da far sì che una battuta poco lusinghiera sull'ex cavaliere rimanga incensurata nell'adattamento italiano di una serie americana. La serie in questione è Succession, un capolavoro di serie tv della HBO, in Italia trasmesso da Sky. Puntata 6 della terza stagione, la famiglia protagonista (ricchissima proprietaria di un agglomerato dell'informazione in stile Murdoch) è riunita per decidere quale candidato presidente degli USA spalleggiare finanziariamente. A Shiv non piace il candidato simil-trumpiano e dice questa battuta:

Tradotta nell'adattamento italiano così:

Francamente l'accostamento Putin/Bolsonaro con Berlusconi mi pare ingeneroso nei confronti di quest'ultimo ma comunque l'autocensura che ci siamo imposti mi fa pensare che, alla fine, tanto superiori della Bielorussia poi non siamo.
Supereremo mai il Berlusconismo?
Sono giorni molto frustranti per chi lavora nell'ULSS 6 e per chi si serve di questa azienda sanitaria. Non so se riuscirò a mettere abbastanza enfasi su quanto la situazione sia GRAVE.
La notte del 3 dicembre l'Ulss 6 Euganea del Veneto (sud di Padova) è stata oggetto di un pesante attacco ransomware, vi lascio i link di qualche articolo che ne parla: (pochi e locali)
https://www.padovaoggi.it/cronaca/attacco-hacker-ulss-6-euganea-padova-07-dicembre-2021.html
A quasi una settimana da questo attacco hacker, in tutta la provincia della bassa padovana non è possibile prenotare visite (molte delle quali sono state annullate e rimandate a data da destinarsi), eseguire esami di laboratorio, accedere al fascicolo sanitario e ai propri referti, le ricette dematerializzate sono inservibili e non è possibile nemmeno il tracciamento dei positivi al covid senza contare che in centinaia stanno aspettando i risultati di tamponi molecolari fatti nei giorni scorsi che non arriveranno più. Pronto soccorso e i vari reparti stanno andando avanti a fatica tornando a carta e penna.
Data la mole di lavoro che si prospetta alla task force informatica per ricostruire da zero l'infrastruttura, i tempi di ripristino stimati per tornare alla normalità sono di un mese.
In tutto questo poi si aggiunge il fatto che nessuno ci sta informando se sono stati rubati dati personali, sappiamo solo che è stato chiesta una cifra ricattatoria e che non verrà pagata.
La cosa che più mi spaventa è che, dal punto di vista dell'informazione, se ne sta parlando poco a livello locale e per niente a livello nazionale quando invece dovrebbe esserci una discussione generalizzata su quanto sia fragile la sicurezza informatica delle aziende sanitarie. Perché in passato è toccato alla regione Lazio, oggi a noi, e domani? La sanità sta diventando, o è già diventata, una preda facile.

He really bungles even statement and I think might be one of the most incompetent public servants in history. Fair fucks to him
