Should swiss cantons and communities follow the dutch government and ditch twitter for mastodon?
It would like to see some federal instances where all cantons, communities and police would post their updates.

What are your thoughts on the current French protests spreading to Switzerland?
People have a right to be angry and protest for a better world. What shouldn't happen is violently destroy things that belong to people, which are not involved in the matter.

Microsoft Kills its Cortana App on Windows 11
Reply in thread
My guess is, they killing cortana because of their copilot software, which is basically the same - but better. They would heave to maintain basically the same product, so they dumped it.
As i see it, using a computer, smartphone or any other device with your voice has a lot of benefits and is used a lot around the world. But it is used in a different scenario than a mouse/keyboard is used and i'm pretty sure they are aware of it. Even they don't see people sitting at their desk talking to their computer all day long.
I agree, they will probably kill off copilot in the next few OS and replace it with something different. They want to be competitive with software from other vendors, so they jump to the "next new thing".

Swiss schools told to speed up radon gas protective measures
Reply in thread
I suspect that there is a certain combination of mountain stone, oxygen, melted water that can contribute into the creation of radioactive gases, but this is not more than a wild guess. Maybe someone really knows something about this.

Do you use password managers?
For some cases i use an onprem bitwarden instance and for passwords i also want accessible through my smarphone i recently started using proton pass.
As of why: The onprem bitwarden instance has nice functionality for an free password manager. Since i pay for proton, i wanted to give proton pass a try.

Twitter was locked in a chaotic doom loop. Now it’s on the verge of collapse
Wasn't the plan all along to 'sink' twitter, when Elon brought a real sink into the twitter headquarter?

Traditional media continue their decline in Switzerland
Reply in thread
I get that "just listen to something" is kind of relaxing. And yes, the SRF channels are ok, because there are no "real" ads playing all the time. But at the same time, we pay for it to have no ads.
I for myself despise the nonstopping ads on tv and private radio, it ruins the whole atmosphere. The current bigger media channels are going to the same direction, if not already there.
So yeah, kind of sad, but the 'circle of media' seems to continue.
