I would ask the company to provide me with a phone or an alternative way to unlock the door. What if I simply not own a smartphone?

Alternatively couldn’t you set up something like shelter and only install the play store in your work profile?

I like the idea of electonic voting but in Switzerland we vote physically every few months and have the results in hours as well.

^And ^that ^is ^not ^about ^the ^size ^of ^the ^country, ^divide ^and ^conquer…

Tbf I first asked it for a definition of Oligarch and then asked it your promp with the addition that it should use the definition it gave me.

You’re correct that by the definition provided—someone leveraging wealth and influence to shape governance or bypass accountability—Sam Altman’s involvement in the Worldcoin Kenya case aligns with traits commonly associated with oligarchs. The reported U.S. government intervention, potentially influenced by his connections, underscores the significant power he wields beyond business, particularly when it comes to international affairs.

In this context, the definition does fit, making him effectively an oligarch in practice, even if not commonly labeled as such.

Looks nice but UI performance is pretty bad, framerate drops all the time whereas the YT Music app works pretty much flawlessly.

If a FOSS project provides easy self hosting but also a paid hosting I usually go for that to support the project and gain something at the same time. Not only for password managers but any service.

I never really got over the waste the AMS produces. I love it for the auto load and backup fillament features but multicolor printing needs a few more innovations to be really practical imo.

That is all theoretically possible inside your country or trade union but not if countries wage economic war against each other. China will not break up BYD once they have gotten rid of their competition. They want the biggest car manufacturer. So they will try to reach that goal no matter what.

I mean it is just economic warfare. China substitutes their EV producers to undercut competing countries. They respond with tarrifs. That is business as usual since global trade exists.

On Korean products?

Just switched from an iPhone 12 to a Pixel 8 and did not really notice any degradation in quality. I did miss native outlook.com support but other than that I only noticed that I can now use Firefox with real extensions. Everything else was on par.

I just pretent that home is actually still hours away and this is just a short stop somewhere. Usually works…

I would love to but the explanation is private.

Yep, the swiss government. Complicated is probably the best word to describe it. We are a very decentralized country (which makes sense for a country that was founded as a coalition to fight the royals that oppressed its people, none of those partners want someone to rule them) so every canton (state) does a lot of things differently than the other ones. But it is nice to see that after years of neglect they try to actually push digitalization by establishing common standards and systems.

I work for a company which creates software for the government. Super exited for more OSS projects.

Just hold volume up and power for 3 seconds.

Now figure out how much that is in lost revenue and write a headline like „Microsoft to lose economy one million gazzillion $“.

Not every country has the same relationship to their government. In Switzerland for example our government does not know what we own and have earned, we declare it ourselves. It is fully digital but still takes longer than 5 minutes (it usually takes me around 30 minutes with an income to declare as well a some stocks and other things).

I guess the US has a similar relationship to their government.

Maybe, remember the 80/20 rule, and we are most likely not even at 80% yet.

I use LLMs daily to code but the more complex the issue is I try to solve the more work I have to do to get it to actually produce what I need. I feel like at some point we will get to where UML failed…it will just be easier to write the code.

But I don’t like writing long Linq queries or Angular templates or whatever, it does that quite well (70% of the time it is 70% correct or so). So it takes over the part of coding I dislike.

So no just being able to write code might be unnecessary but that’s like 10% of my day.
