Swiss job market is pretty much non existing. Monopolies run on monopolies and if you're not swiss German speaking with lots of contacts you have little chance to succeed in Switzerland

Software engineering is dying in Switzerland. It's flooded with layoffs from Credit Suisse, UBS, post covid Google and other faang layoffs in Zurich. IT almost doesn't exist anywhere else in Switzerland, maybe except from Geneve CERN. Elsewhere they are job positions reserved for swiss if you can play swiss politics and speak Swiss German ( which you can learn only by being raised there )... I spent there 5 years and recently went back to Poland ( I speak both English and standard German but still ... dont bank on this that its enough )

How so - even doi links?

Simplex was bubbling about implementing CSAM. Any client mentioning it is not safe, period... Child safety and hate speech is always an excuse for tolitarian regimes ( sittenpolizei ) never a true approach for solving the issue ( child safety )

Friend of friend networks, that's how classmates have benefits created ( a prototype to "prove" 6 connections theory )

Web of trust - did you hear? https://www.gnupg.org/gph/en/manual/x547.html

You can use gpg signatures

Switzerland is in Schengen area and in EFTA but not in EU.

Try asking DeepSeek something about Xi Jinping. "Sorry, it's beyond my current scope' :-) Wondering why even it cannot cite his official party biography :-)

They do very often, not every time but they do. I faced it several times so I did finish my subscriptions (both youtube music and youtube premium)

They force paying customers ( yt music premium & yt premium ) to disable ad blockers, too. Why? If I accordingly to the contract shouldn't get any ads why they would need to punish for blocking ads which shouldn't exist :-)?

Most yt content creators get little to nothing from ads. They use yt only for marketing and provide additional services like newsletters and receive donations / fees via liberapay

Most podcasts do have rss feeds ( that's how Google podcasts did subscribe them). So find your podcast and subscribe him in f e fresh rss. You can open it in either brave ( background playing ) or vlc

Emails can be simple - mine is $firstName@$lastName.me Tbh phone numbers are quite long and if people can't remember 4 digital pin... Still you can generate qr code mailto: links

Welcome to the money printing scheme so called 'Quantitative Easing'. That's what injects 'empty money' into real estate which doesn't directly impacts basic good prices short term but it does in the long term through the rent costs (delayed effect 5 - 10 years)

I still believe that mailing lists are the best technology which has been both decentralized in the meaning of the identity ( which you can verify with gpg ) and storage. While I like many other things like simplex, lemmy, to some extent matrix and so on, still mailing lists rock nowadays ( note: please consider 2 criterias i meant - distributed identity and storage)

I've once bought lifetime service - couchsurfing. It didn't stick foe less than 1 year. I have second life time account for 2600 magazine but still I'm skeptical to "life time" promotions

I think there needs be car 2 car ( or even car 2 human f.e. in smartphones and wearables ) introduced before self driving cars is capable to exist. Of course until real AI is introduced. We're nowhere near the human capable ai

Until you forget changing 6 digit pin of your credit card before you travel to the country which accepts 4 digit normally. You're f..d, the only way is to get call your family to make moneygram / western union transfer (or if you can do make such an order on your own). If you wonder which country I live, it's the same country which has one of the highest banknotes 1000 CHF.

It's funny because actually you can receive mails pretty much everywhere without giving an actual address. P.O boxes and post restante. Only banks keep enforcing residential addresses as it was a guarantee of having lack of identity frauds.
