I mean that is exactly how it works. And if a private company wants to verify your age while violating the law they can do that already, just don’t use their service then.

Why not? They are mostly made up of corporations.
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.
Do you have the same issue with the W3C or the Wifi Alliance?
Yes because that law did not get a measly 50k signatures. So there is no need to vote.
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.


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.


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.


I always pronounced Tolkens name as Token, apparently nobody else made that mistake.


With the many issues I still have running a wayland session on NVidia I am really confused by these recent moves of various projects and distros dropping X11 support.


Switzerland, 35 days of vacation but that is just the company I work for, usually it is 20-25 days. Also an additional 7 days of national and communal holidays.
I usually go on short vacations, 3-7 days.


I can give you some issues regarding press freedom in Switzerland. One issue is the Federal Banking Act which is a major concern because it can lead to self-censorship among journalists. If a journalist reports on leaked bank data, even if it’s in the public interest, they risk facing criminal prosecution and up to three years in prison.
Adding to this, recent legislative changes have made it easier for individuals and companies to obtain injunctions against upcoming press publications. Previously, they had to prove that the publication would cause considerable damage, but now they just need to feel that it will affect them.


50% of my code is written by Intellisense…


I tried it (Mostly cursor, cline, claude code and the new copilot agent mode) a few times, maybe it will get better at some point but right now I am incredibly slow doing it and the mental load reviewing changes and trying to get it to do what I want is incredibly exhausting.


That is not true, we use Vision/LL Models to extract data and structure said data from documents. It is amazing how easy it is compared to OCR and needing to know where which information is located.


Softwaere engineer in Switzerland, I work 36h a week, 5 days a week. I start at 8:30 and usually work till 16:30 which gives me plenty of time for my hobbies. Company is fully owned by its workers which is not bad eithet even though 50℅ belong to the top C-suite managers (which they bough from their bosses when they left the company, so the shares do stay with the employees). I make around 110k CHF a year (which is nice as I only pay like 6k in income tax). Pretty happy.
Yes, but I actually would pay them for their services if they guarantee me that they will use that money to improve Firefox and Firefox services. I want to be a premium user of Firefox, but instead of trying to monetize their core userbase they annihilate them.
I actually like their advertising business idea and their other services and I understand that they need money but is whay they are doing right now really the best way?
