Why not “have to be registered with the government”? That’s still allow law abiding citizens to do whatever they want with their money.

Also, people saying digital money on your local bank is different than paper money of the central bank; both are merely a promise. Back in the day the promise was related to a value in gold, now either are relatively empty promises. All banks do is keep track of the numbers, a bank note is proof your unregistered number is valid.

Introductory paragraph:

Since 1994, Infomaniak has followed the same path: privacy, environmental responsibility, and local roots. Thirty-two years on, these commitments are no longer just promises. On 13 May 2026, our founder Boris Siegenthaler transferred the majority of Infomaniak’s voting rights to a Swiss public-interest foundation: the Infomaniak Foundation. An irrevocable move, rare in Europe, that places the company beyond the reach of any takeover and sets its DNA in stone. For you, our customers, this means one thing: your cloud will remain Swiss, independent, and true to its values. Forever.

I agree, but from time to time somebody puts a seemingly interesting article on lemmy and I do want to click. Since you’re already putting effort in, my lazy ass would be totally helped if you could also add an alternative in your comment. Or just a generic link you edit when you copy paste your response, something like

[url of search engine]/keyword1 + keyword2 -politico.eu, -"Axel Springer" -döpfner 

If you get what i mean. You might make the possibility of me (and others) opening Axel Springer media even smaller.

Dutch entry is chosen by a committee and they tend to score much higher as the UK (at least the last decade or so). So maybe just switching to a different committee would be enough. But i’m all in favour of national contests, sounds awesome.

Elite doesn’t care, they just don’t want it to cost money. Same as everybody else i suppose. Be born in the wrong place and you’re fucked from day 1.

I’m not a fan of what human rights organisations call ‘legal black holes’, but to be honest i can get into italy’s narrative of putting these people in Albania. I mean it’s almost next door. But the UK plans to send these people half way across the globe, which is quite a difference imo. Also these places could easily end up trapping these people for life, which can get hella expensive. And i havent even mentioned how shitty these people will likely be treated.

Climate change fucks them too, though. But yes, they’ll be richer while getting fucked.

And get a result like this:

Several are from Sri Lanka, the US and elsewhere in Europe, while others are in Vietnam and the Maldives, or linked to Iran and the UAE, according to information from Facebook’s transparency tools, interviews with the content creators and other tell-tale signs on social media such as spelling and accounts they follow.

Rule of thumb: if you want to do something that Trump considers advisable, think twice. Guess that’s what Merz did.

Where do you book? Afaik this is not a thing everywhere

I’m happy with proton but can’t tell you if the free tier is good enough for you. Worth taking into consideration for sure if you ask me.

Another happy proton pass user here, i do care about what that one guy said but not enough to switch to another service. Not foss, but it’s definitely a good enough thing for me.
