#Swiss
Always a nice way to conclude a long journey: stopping by the #Elvetino @diningcar on the #Swiss🇨🇭#SBB #InterCity back home. (And even more so on a cold winter day!)
So, it's time that some Swiss Orgs are moving forward with their E-ID the consultation is open. In discussion is EIDAS or an SSI (Self Soveirign Identity) based Alternative.
Paper with details: https://github.com/e-id-admin/open-source-community/blob/main/discussion-paper-tech-proposal/discussion-paper-tech-proposal.md
Some people to come and help out in that process would be good. #swiss #politics
@yvanspijk Maybe worth mentioning that in #swiss #german #schweizerdeutsch, we still say "gässe". I think in all dialects.
Or is this not "still", and rather "again"?

🦞Dear Friends using Firefox,
I was advised to use #Firefox web, it is a bit more #secure than the ubiquitous data brokers #google based #browsers. It was good advice, so I swapped from #Brave and #Seamonkey. Just used it to synch between my apple phone and #Linux running #laptop. Ooh, I am so #techy! Not techy at all, in fact. It will take me at least a day to stop swearing at the mobile phone, with its tiny screen and direct leaks to Apple Core.😤
Talking of #apple who knows how to make real #Swiss #Muesli? It starts with a #grated apple and #lemon juice. Soaked with #oats overnight AND then in the #morning #seasonal #fruits and #nuts, #cream (yes cream) or #greek #yougurt are added - It is so much better than the bird cage droppings in cardboard that are availble in some regions. Muesli is a #meal, a #pudding a #shared #feast

#Farmers allege link between popular #herbicide and #Parkinsons disease
November 29, 2023
"It is against the law to use #paraquat in China, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and dozens of other countries. Many countries have banned the herbicide due to its extreme #toxicity, while others have expressed concerns over the possible risk for Parkinson's disease.
"Yet the herbicide, manufactured by a #Swiss company that is owned by the #Chinese state, is still widely used throughout the #UnitedStates in part because it is a highly effective way to kill weeds.
"The company, Syngenta, says that paraquat, which it produces under the name Gramoxone, 'is safe for its intended and labelled use.'
"Clayton Tucholke, who used Gramoxone for years on his farm in LaBolt, #SouthDakota, and has since been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, says otherwise.
"'It should have been pulled, I think, you know, so it didn't happen to somebody else,' Tucholke told ABC News.
"A 76-year-old father and grandfather, Tucholke lived on his farm with his wife Denise, but as the symptoms of #Parkinson's have worsened, he says he was forced to give up his career in #agriculture and had to move to the nearby town of Milbank to be closer to medical professionals.
"Daily tasks have become arduous for Tucholke, who now has to travel to physical therapy three times a week to slow the progression of his symptoms.
"'This man was so independent,' Denise Tucholke said. 'And his independence has been taken from him, which is unfair.'
"The Tucholkes are among the more than 4,000 Americans who have filed lawsuits as part of a multi-district litigation against #Syngenta, which currently manufactures #Gramoxone, and #Chevron, which distributed it in the U.S. from 1966 until 1986.
"Although Syngenta and Chevron told ABC News that there is no scientific evidence that supports a causal link between #paraquat and #Parkinsonsdisease, the Tucholkes and other plaintiffs allege that such a link exists, arguing that Syngenta and Chevron knew or should have known that the #herbicide could 'cause severe #neurological injuries.'
"'Our daughter and son-in-law are still #farming. I think any time [a] chemical is applied to the fields that they have to use, they should know what's going to happen,' Denise Tucholke said.
"'All the generations that are coming up afterwards need to know,' she said."

瑞士郵政經歷 3 年測試 決定以 Samsung 手機取代工業用掃描器
日前 Samsung 宣佈瑞士郵政（Swiss Post）將會以 Galaxy 手機，取代他們沿用多時的工業級掃描器，以應付信件包裹的郵遞工作需要。Swiss Post 早在 2020 年開始了內部名為 NEMO 的試驗項目，測試利用 Galaxy A 和 Galaxy Xcover 手機去掃描信件和包裹。

Just discovered a new compact(-ish) #Swiss #cargobike: The limited MONoPOLE #Toolbike: https://monopole.cc/en/product/no-o1
Its layout reminds me a bit of the #Omnium, but especially their shopping front rack—which fits two common (Swiss?) shopping bags left and right of the frame's main tube—is something I haven't seen before with a front-top-loader. Also nice: belt steering.
Despite being built in France, the #MONoPOLEToolbike so far is only available in #Switzerland.

This artwork took nearly two years to finish. Yes, it had a lot of downtimes, reworks and I had to scrap the armorless version. I’ll try to skip making versions of a drawing, especially when I use complicated techniques. But in the end, it was a huge learning experience and I’m definitely proud of pushing through and finishing it!
It was my first time trying to paint metal and it went against the usual shading logic that I had to break: The first attempt made it look not metal enough.
Also check out the timelapse of the drawing, I used Krita’s new recording feature which allows me to record the overview of the drawing, resulting in avoiding skipping all over the canvas. Through the editing software I added zoom and pans to focus on specific parts.

As usual, some lore:
With the best intentions following a failed rescue operation and unexpected discoveries involving Elak, Zygana, and Oruti, the Ancient Being Nierkuvan decreed the protection of Zesan and its relics through the implementation of new laws. However, the combination of curiosity and waning cooperation among those expected to adhere to these laws led to a series of events.
This situation evolved into a complex issue, with pioneers fervently seeking out anything, regardless of location or danger, and disregarding potential consequences.
The relentless pursuit of wealth and power, fueled by the relics, compelled the Ancient Beings to devise a contingency plan in case their safety was compromised. Enter the mercenary Venex, a fiercely loyal and unbridledly ambitious servant of the Beings. Venex's responsibilities expanded from external tasks to those within the realm. In the absence of their teammate Mares, who possessed the ideology and means to question and counteract beliefs, Venex was left to act independently, and he, Mares, would remain unaware of Venex's potential actions. #furry #furryart #art #anthro #Sharkahm #cat #furry #fandom #Swissfurs #swiss #switzerland #uwu #owo #Bärenhöhle #furry #furryart #art #anthro #Sharkahm #cat #furry #fandom #Swissfurs #swiss #switzerland #uwu #owo #Bärenhöhle #fursona #armor #sharky #sharqii

#Swiss company Glencore purchased some 5,000 tonnes of russian copper routed through Turkey to Italy in July
Sanctions on purchasing russian metals currently do not exist, the trade via third countries highlights Europe’s continued dependence on russian commodities
The copper sheets purchased by Glencore were made by Russia’s UMMC
In July 2022, the EU added the head of UMMC to the list of individuals banned for supporting russia’s invasion of #Ukraine

Ich nerve ja schon all meine Freunde mit den Vorzügen der 🇨🇭. Um meine Freunde zu entlasten und trotzdem meine Euphorie zu teilen (auch wenn vielleicht keiner zuhört) -> #swissVsGermany
Oder auch: Was ist in der 🇨🇭 cooler als in 🇩🇪 ?
(Vielleicht findet sich auch jemand, der meine Begeisterung teilt und hier seine Vorzüge postet. 😇 )
The Swiss government has created its own official server at https://social.admin.ch
We know it is official as it uses the Swiss government's own admin.ch domain.
Its accounts aren't visible as they haven't started posting yet. However, the server's administration account has posted saying that they will be starting soon. You can follow this account at:

@europesays As far as I know, those Leopard 1 tanks have never been stationed in Switzerland, they were entirely produced in Italy by the Swiss arms manufacturer Ruag, or its subsidiary. Nonetheless, the Swiss government has vetoed this deal allegedly due to the incompatibility with the law on arms exports, and neutrality. For me as a European acting Swiss, this is scandalous, b/c Switzerland is actively deceiving int'l law.

#story of the day:
The #Swiss People's Party (Union Démocratique du Centre in #French - Schweizerische Volkspartei in #German) in #Switzerland released a campaign video using a sound-alike version of "We Are Family" to promote whatever values #SVP #UDC stands for.
Nile Rodgers took to social media to condemn the use of the Sister Sledge single which he wrote & produced.
#NileRodgers made the following statement:
“I wrote ‘We Are Family’ to be the ultimate song about inclusion and diversity at all levels, regardless of race, ethnicity, age, gender, religion or sexual orientation.
“I condemn its use by the SVP (Swiss People’s Party) or anyone else not keeping with the values of the song and all decent people. The purpose of the song is to bring joy to all with no exclusions! Hipgnosis Songs, Sony Music Pub and Warner Chappell are all working to have the SVP cease and desist their use of the song.”

The #Swiss health insurance system in a nutshell:
- Me: So uh, the health authorities recommend I get this vaccine, is it reimbursed?
- Insurance: Only if you get a doctor to write a prescription for it.
- Me: ok... that seems like a waste of time. Here, I got a prescription, and I got the vaccine done in my pharmacy.
- Insurance: Oh, we reimburse the vaccine, but not the injection. Those 36 CHF are out of pocket.
- Me: So uh, am I supposed to self-administer the vaccine?
- Insurance: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Just viewed "Why #Swiss #Trains are the Best in Europe" (https://youtu.be/muPcHs-E4qc) by @notjustbikes from one year ago and was surprised how deep their analysis went. Didn't expected to learn that many planning details about train schedules in my adopted country, #Switzerland.
And I also liked this quote in the video:
"A developed country is not a place where the poor have cars. It's where the rich use public #transportation." ― Gustavo Petro (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gustavo_Petro)
Swiss artist Saype invented a biodegradable paint and uses it like no other. His giant works of art are lifelike and seemingly impossible to create. Yet, there they are.

6/ “The problem is we don't know who is behind these companies because they often have no websites, there is no way of contacting them,” says Mai Rosner, a senior campaigner at Global Witness. “They are very opaque and we don't know ultimately who is controlling them.”
5/ The rise of these so-called “pop up” traders and their #Swiss ties have been the subject of investigations by the FT, Public Eye, and Global Witness. Two companies in particular – with doppelgangers outside Switzerland – have been a source of intrigue: Paramount and Sunrise. They are shrouded in secrecy making it almost impossible to ascertain their ownership and whether they have violated sanctions or the price cap.

"The #Swiss consumer goods giant promised to sell only “essential” products into russia, citing baby formula as an example, but the reality is they continue peddling pet foods, pralines, chocolate bars, and other items that are hardly essential."

...#US and #China, can be a viable strategy, as also #India has been thinking, maybe more with a "#Swiss neutrality" model in mind, will prove to be futile in the long run.
As the #US and #China's antagonism deepens, the two countries stuck in the middle will simply not have anywhere near the economic resources to pursue such a strategy successfully. The necessary investments in military and high-tech (e.g. semiconductor fabs) are ever increasing. With an...

@davidallengreen
Correct. Nobody in the #EU likes the #Swiss arrangements. But Switzerland is a LAND island surrounded by EU countries, so big efforts were probably the only way to ease relations.
That's not the case for an "offshore" like the UK.
In any case, I never heard #Brexiters mention Switzerland during the Ref campaign. They promised #SingleMarket, #CustomsUnion, #Norway... nothing like what they delivered.
We must aim to #RejoinEU as soon as possible.
We need a new govt.
