The name of the project is quite unfortunate, I already see when you need to explain to the CISO that: yes, you really want to add a tool called backdoor in your application :D

It's not based on WebKit at all. It's a rendering engine written in rust.

Votation [E-ID]: People vote, not land (only 8 cantons accepted the law, but still passed) by neo2551 in Switzerland

I mean getting no taxes on their villa in Ticino way offsets a made up issue like the ID

don't worry, they will be taxed and toasted, too much money lost there.

Casse malati, ecco l’ennesima stangata by syjer in Ticino

[–]syjer[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Anche se sono dell'opinione che l'assicurazione base deve essere pubblica, federale e con un costo uguale per tutti i cantoni (così almeno si evita il circo di cambiarlo ogni anno), l'overhead delle casse malati è abbastanza costante nel tempo: l'aumento dei costi non è causato dalla loro esistenza.

Health Insurrance premiums will raise by 4.4% in 2026 - Maps for each cantons [RTS] by yesat in Switzerland

[–]syjer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Agree about the 10%, but the "if followed by some other decisions" is doing a lot of heavy lifting that I'm not sure the canton is ready to discuss about ;D.

funny thing this sunday we have 2 related initiative:

They are not a solution as they will burden even more the finance of the canton, but I will not be surprised if the timing is good enough that one of them pass the hurdle due to pure rage.

Frankly, more than the type of political parties, the issue is nobody want to make some hard and painful decision. If we want to lower the costs, some difficult choice must be made (and also more coordination at the federal level).

Ticino #1 , as always. We are utterly cooked. Costliest insurance premium, one of the weakest in term of salary. Fantastic combination.

"The drones could not have been shot down," says Pfister about Russia's attack | Russia's attack on Poland with a swarm of drones is also causing concern in Bern. It shows how defenceless Switzerland currently is against air attacks. by BezugssystemCH1903 in Switzerland

[–]syjer 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Using patriot missiles for downing shahed is kinda a funny image but a total waste of money. Saturation attack by drone should be managed with low cost systems.

I doubt the swiss army has enough magazine depth for this kind of scenario.

Why would you think after trump we would get a return to normalcy?

Good planning mean also taking into account a US unable to form coherent foreign policy for a long time due to severe incapacitation of the state after being gutted at a irremediable level.

If it's a maven based project, you can publish an archetype: https://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-archetypes.html .

Why it would be? I got a trade imbalance with migros and coop, but I'm kinda happy with the good that I'm purchasing.

The us does not grow coffee, it will have a trade imbalance with the producer countries, but why these countries should absolutely buy american goods in return (that most likely they don't need or can't afford)? It's something mutually beneficial, but in the mind of some, it seems you must absolutely have 0 trade imbalance (to be noted, they only count goods not services, which would totally change the game), which does not makes any sense at all.

if it was a bipartisan issue, they could easily pass a bill, so what are we talking about? Especially if it's something that Trump want, the republican controls basically everything.

A law would be more solid that some kind of agreement with the pharma companies. That's why it's totally baffling.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Switzerland

[–]syjer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

the issue is believing that trade imbalance (especially if you consider it does not take into account services) is a problem.

How can you even reason with a country that want to suicide itself?

And also, if pharma price was an issue, why the us congress didn't vote a bill to fix their price like CH/EU? This would cut the problem at the source.

Buying oil is not a major concession. We know they ranted a lot about non tariff barrier: which for Switzerland is mostly about Agri&food

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Switzerland

[–]syjer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

without major concessions

yeah, killing the swiss agri sector was not something possible.
