I drink water that is billions of years old.

What? You mean there is not a single country without Nazis? Oh the heavens. Nazi groups in Ukraine are still an issue (as they are everywhere) but maybe something happened that was more important. Don’t know what though.

In Germany you should have access to the Swiss Amazon (we basically don’t use Amazon): Galaxus

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.

Threema hat bereits angekündigt dass sie eine Volksinitiative dagegen starten wenn das so kommt. Wird “spannend”…

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.

Was gibst denn du für einen absoluten Käse von dir?

Umbedingt auf die paar Immigraten schauen, nicht auf die Berge von Gewaltdelikten durch Rechtsextreme.

Das einzige Problem ist dass die AfD nicht schon lange verboten wurde.

50% of my code is written by Intellisense…

I am a male software engineer with art skills rivaled by a 5 year old…

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.

Zumindest die lokale Feuerwehr (ist je nach Kanton ein Milizsystem mit Vereinen) hier hat regen Nachwuchs, 110 Nasen bei einem Sollbestand von 100 Personen. Und so viele jungen Menschen, ich fühle mich mit meinen knapp mehr als 30 Jahren fast alt.

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.

May the Lord open

The government already lost a case against Threema when they tried to force them to spy on their users. This is a Verordnung which is not a law but has to adhere to existing laws. So it might be challenged once more.

If this goes trough though than it has always been legal and it is just the executive making it an actual thing now.

That’s the third option, I was just saying that at least they do sell replacement parts which today is not always the case for many companies.

That will be a shitty day. But the alternative is that they don’t sell replacement parts at all. To be fair we don’t even know how they treat discontinued products as all their printers are still in production.

Still my point stands, Bambu printers simply just work, I took my 15-20 minutes to set up and it did run flawlessly since then with only the maintenance the printer asks me to do. I can understand why people like that. This would be possible by opensourcing everything but somehow except for Prusa there is noone else who strikes that balance between ease of use and openness.

I own a BambuLab A1M as I want a printer that just works. And while yes it is all proprietary they do sell replacement parts for most parts.

While I will not forgive them for their latest moves I am quite happy, I turn it on, load an stl into BambuStudio and let it run without any issues at all.

My next printer will however probably be a prusa as they are Europeans and I love that they keep everything up to the user so far. But I can not deal with anything that is more DIY than a Prusa, it is a tool for my hobby…not the hobby itself.

Petzl is missing, they are French.

This never made sense, we should bring asylum seekers into the various european countries so they can be distribute evenly, no matter where they arrived first.
