she’s not wrong though. as a christian in the middle east, you have mosques kicking off every morning, Islam is noticeable in everyday life everywhere (to the extent that I feel that you have a substantially higher religious freedom in Europe as a muslim), and if you do something that is socially (and therefore religiously - as there’s a nonexistent division between church, states and culture here) risque, you can also gtfo. so what?

this is huge if true, where’d you read that?

this was some of the most insightful shit I’ve read on Lemmy in a while. thanks for this - well written and easy to follow for an aerospace noob.

america is the only country that is except from Swiss banking privacy laws. they strong armed us with something (still dunno until today what exactly) to have it removed for american citizens.

they’ve been threatening this for year to keep suckling at the tit of governmental subsidies to make Switzerland look more attractive for investors with them being here. I doubt they’ll follow through.

what covid response? our government simply played on “eigenverantwortung” (personal responsibility). in a country with one of the highest education levels it wasn’t difficult to keep a distance of 2 meters during the peak of the pandemic unless you’re surrounding yourself with naive people. I was able to go swimming in the lake in the summer, and skiing in the winter while Italy, France and Austria had this banned. weird to think about it but I honestly had a pretty fun time during covid and made some of the best friends to date during it. hell, we even had music festivals and our numbers were not horrible. I think you’re thinking of Sweden. happens a lot.

or are american

on the minus side we have austria

you have summoned me?

what’s Anubis?

easy, install graphene instead

Debian?

Anyone see the Johnny English with the American billionaire cyber-terrorist Jason Volta as the main antagonist?

That’s how I see news coming from Washington developing on a daily basis.

We need you Rowan Atkinson.

I don’t see any reason why it would affect your application(s) in the slightest. A good CV is a good CV. You could have @goatfondler.com for all I care.

Trump is there to serve one function only. Musk won him the election, and now POTUS is Musk’s puppet. They don’t have to get along, it’s a partnership. He famously said, “stealing an isn’t difficult, it only requires changing one line of code”.

I genuinely don’t remember the exact instances we were speaking about, but it happens from time to team. They released data from a French citizen to Swiss & French authorities in the past, and I’m sure this isn’t the only case.

Maybe not the contribution that you’re looking for, but going to tell you this story regardless.

I am Swiss, and am a former Department of Foreign Affairs (FDFA / EDA) employee. My colleagues and I had organized an evening on cybersecurity, where we showcase what Switzerland has to offer. I invited stakeholders such as:

• Dreamlab (really cool company, should look them up if you don’t know of them)
• NCSC (Swiss National Cyber Security Center)
• Some Swiss cyber regulator; and
• Proton

Firstly, when speaking to a delegate of one of the above listed (don’t feel comfortably sharing publicly which one), he ushered a statement; upon me saying I’m a huge Proton fan and subscribed to all services - “they are lying to your faces”.

I was curious, so I spoke with the regulators and NCSC delegates, they said that Proton has been involved in a handful of leaks - some that were made public, some behind the scenes.

When I spoke to Andy, having told him that I grew up in Canada, I asked him what his plan was for North America. His response: “I will gladly take their money, but never open up shop there - too many national security departments that come knocking on the door”.

Now I see that (on the Proton page), that they are looking for a few US based positions for Marketing and Growth - going against what we discussed a few years back. In all honesty, I still have a Plus subscription with them, but beginning to questions a lot more things regarding security and ethics at Proton. Guess I’ll just self-host in the future. Trust no one but yourself with your personal data.

Let’s say UK, since it was filmed there for example. I mean surely the Airbnb owners have a good case right?

Thanks, yes - this is what I was looking for. Just thinking from a Airbnb renter perspective, such a stunt would drop the value of the property + service fees such as changing the mattresses etc.
