Re:Iceland votes on whether to restart talks on joining EU on Saturday August 29, 2026 @01:27PM (#49491630)
Yes, but the average Swiss voter is very proud of its direct democracy, and scared that joining the EU would significantly weaken it.

Therefore, having to follow EU law in some very specific areas, while remaining independent in others is a decent path, and a compromise very typical of Swiss policy

Far from it, EU law would need to be transposed in some very specific areas covered by the agreement, and mechanisms are in place to limit what retorsions can be put in place if Switzerland refuses such transposition.

Switzerland is currently in the process of implementing a third wave of bilateral agreements with the EU, and the federal government has indicated that in their opinion the "bilateral way" is the best of both worlds in terms of sovereignty and integration, so I don't think joining the EU will be on the agenda anytime soon
Re:Annoying and alarming things about OpenCode on Monday July 20, 2026 @09:56AM (#48978945)
Which makes sense, but as long as the tool itself pretends to provide security features, the fact that these features don't work is a big problem, as it may provide a false sense of security to end users.

It'd be better if they had absolutely no permission enforcement and delegated it entirely to another program, as you say.

Did both of you intentionally skip the part of the article about the critical security issues?

The amount of capital they need to raise, despite the claimed revenue, indicates that they spend more than they gain, which is by definition unprofitable.
Well ArchLinux has a product for you if you want packages that were vetted: the official repositories. AUR is just a centralized place to put user created packages, like npm is a place to put user created node packages.

Sadly this does not seem to be the case here: if you read the announcement entirely, they include a "cost per task" metric which basically continues the trend of their previous models. So yes, tasks will cost you more, but results will be better - allegedly.
Re:Markdown Is Not LaTeX on Saturday May 23, 2026 @06:21PM (#48252159)
Strange rant. From a user perspective, it is very handy to have a very simple text format in which you can occasionally insert complex mathematical expressions. And at the same time, it's perfectly okay for most implementations to NOT support this syntax
You'll be pleased to learn that most (if not all) Cantons (= states) in Switzerland, a federalist state, have a free online tax filing solution, that computes both communal, cantonal, and federal taxes.

Re:Apple is not defending browser engine choice on Friday June 24, 2022 @06:30AM (#31859837)
Yeah but the point of this discussion is that _Apple doesn't even give you the choice here._ If you want to do it this way, please do, but this is not a reason to prevent other people from doing things differently.
Yes but Wikipedia only accepted BTC, BCC and ETH anyway. Maybe one day if what you say becomes true they will go back and accept these fancy new currencies.
Nobody on this forum provided any kind of verification that they own the private key. It is way more likely that a rogue doctor sells certificates to unvaccinated people (which we know happens) than that the private key leaked, so let's not jump into conclusions here.
