Most ads I see against it claim that our taxes will increase because all the rich people will simply leave. And that it is to radical, should have gone with a far higher number than 50 Million and a lower tax rate. Pretty sure they would still say that no matter what the numbers are.

We are trying 50% above 50 Million in Switzerland right now. It does not have the slightest chance to become law. A huge majority of the population is against it even though it would basically affect no-one.

Cat 1: “Do you think we should scale up the image?”

Cat 2: “Nah, I think it’s funny when people can’t read it and get all frustrated.”

Cat 3: “I guess I’ll never know what this meme says.”

Cat 4: “JPEG!”

Can not speak for all firefighters but we have more applicants than we have spots. We currently need 100 for the municipality we work for and we have some 110 firefighters.

I did when I move last time, they increased their price mid-move or they would not move certain furniture even though they initially came and gave me a price after seeing everything. They smashed a huge dent into my previous apartment and told me it is my problem. They also offered a cleaning-service which was an interesting offer but they left after halfway cleaning the place and I had to force them to finish it by threatening to sue them. In the end a lawsuit would probably have been the best way anyways as it would have fixed everything else as well but that costs money.

They also had stellar reviews which I guess are fake…

Just watching it going through the banner and disabling everything is mesmerizing.

I just feels weird that you can use the value of the company you buy to buy said company. It just “feels” weird that you can get a loan and use whatever you buy as leverage.

Now that I am typing that out that is not really different from getting a loan to buy a house. Never mind, I guess it just seems weird when it is such an insane sum of money ¯\(ツ)/¯

I will never understand how leveraged buyouts are legal. I mean it somehow makes sense in its original form where workers wore buying out the patron but now it is just weird.

We had that once in Germany, the restaurant was right besides an old piece of the former wall between east and west Germany. The waitress, an elderly women, was not just incredibly kind but when we were eating our second course she asked us if we cared to know more about East Germany and how it was like living there. In the end we were drinking our coffee besides multiple old books full of pictures from this region. Absolutely amazing experience.

https://github.com/swiyu-admin-ch contains far more than just the client. Only a certain component where they had to rely on a proprietary solution is closed source. Everything else is in the open.

Did you read the law? It explicitly prohibits broader usage without the necessary new laws to allow them to do so.

You can not just say that it is a threat to privacy. Its design improves privacy as we finally can ID ourselves, where it has always been required, without actually giving our identity to online services.

Weird idea to put part of the foldable screen on the outside of the phone. Classic foldables at least protect their sensitive screen when closed.

YouTube, you can have 5x5 bucks or 5x0, choose wisely, it is not like uBlock is not working on your site.

It does not, they detect the VM.

Yeah somehow got a Pixel 9 Pro fold for 600 bucks, one year old, still no clue why it was so cheap, nothing is wrong with it.

Are you certain that the answer was actually from their sources? I had multiple occasions where Mistral/ChatGPT gave me sources and I felt like something was off. I then followed the sources and could not find what they found according to themselves. I then asked them to quote the actual text they used to provide said answer and after drilling them a few more times they concluded that yes, the thing they said was actually not anywhere to be found in the sources they provided.

Cusp of unplayable? I have a Linux system on a PCIe 4.0 drive and a Windows install on a SATA SSD. I wouldn’t notice any difference if I wouldn’t know or measure the performance difference. SATA SSDs are perfectly fine for gaming.

At least some good news, back home in Switzerland our government is cowering before Trump, reassuring him that we will buy the F-35 even though they just put a flat 39% tariff on us…they even flew to Washington to improve our offer, whatever that means, fucking cowards.
