Luckily, we don't have that with medical insurance in Switzerland, but car mechanics sure are that way.

Need a fix on insurance? Ooh, that'll take us 2 weeks of full time work - minimum 5000 bucks. Call them and tell them it's not insured? Ah, that'll be 500 bucks.

See Heise for example, they have their own instance for their news posts. It's great.

That's a thing of the past. Nowadays, in Switzerland you get everything unlimited for 20 a month.

In the past, messages cost 10 cents on a prepaid plan, so people started using WhatsApp for free messages at some point, and it just kind of... Stayed

Yes, that is what I meant - with the wrong word.

The main problem is anonymity. Digital voting where the vote is public is fine - register a gpg key as your 'official' one and sign with it when voting.

You don't want voting to be public though, and any secure digital way to do it is 'public', where after the fact you can see that person x voted y

I was very confused when the screen faded to black when Isobel was downed - I thought I could just get her back up

Had the a52 5g before. It did become quite sluggish over time - and wasn't smooth even to start with.

That's not caused by user bloat - it was just as slow when I reset it before selling it.

Now I have a xiaomi 13 and it does everything basically instantly

Man, articles on her are always fun.

'hurr durr people don't like her'. Yeah, I do neither. Not because she's a woman, but because her content is boring. She's OK enough at DIY stuff, but a man going for the same stuff she does would barely get 500 views a video

You know. I'm Swiss, so a lot of this inflation is very evident to me.

In 2022, 1 CHF was around 0.8GBP. Now, in 2023, 1 CHF is around 0.9GBP.

Guess what, that 8% pay rise was lower than inflation. 8% on top of 0.8 is only 0.864.

Without any more pay in Switzerland, I got an effective raise higher than these 'great' 8% in GB

Yup. The only time I pirate a game nowadays is when I can't get it on steam for the 2 hour refund as a demo.
