Russia says it will not participate in Switzerland peace talks even if invited: https://benborges.xyz/2024/03/13/russia-says-it.html

"Earlier this year, the Spanish police Guardia Civil sent legal requests through Swiss police to #Wire and #Proton, which are both based in Switzerland. (..)
Wire responded providing the email address used to register the Wire account, which was a Protonmail address.

After the UK, Ireland, Germany, Switzerland, Spain and France, Sweden is now developing a standard for accessible EV charging. Good news for all #EV users.
https://www.

Ny standard ska göra laddplatser för elbilar mer tillgängliga - Svenska institutet för standarder, SIS
Många laddplatser för elbilar har brister när det gäller tillgänglighet, något som gör det svårt och ibland omöjligt för många att använda dem. Nu ska en ny standard tas fram som tydliggör kraven för hur en tillgänglig laddplats bör se ut. Det handlar bland annat om utformningen av platsen, att laddkabeln inte är för tung och att snövallar inte får bli ett hinder vintertid. Standarden kommer även göra det enklare att kravställa vid upphandlingar.

Can you see the big red flag in the middle of this form, used by thousands of people right now in Switzerland? Squint your eyes a bit, it'll pop right out ⚠️
We can all do something about barriers like this - refusing to submit the form being probably a good start 🙄

Switzerland joins EU in expanding sanctions against Russia: https://benborges.xyz/2024/03/01/switzerland-joins-eu.html

"..the benefits of switching towards EVs are overwhelming positive for its users and for society in general. The acceleration of EV adoption through a right-to-charge policy can potentially benefit the Swiss population by about 12 billion USD, corresponding to about 1.5 percent of GDP."
🇨🇭 parliament will vote next week on such a 'right to charge' policy, which is important for the approximately 70% of Swiss households that live in apartment buildings.

"The findings show that mainstream parties have raised the issues of the far right and brought them from the fringes into the mainstream debate. Instead of drawing attention to far-right actors and issues, mainstream parties could use their public visibility to highlight the issues and ideas they represent and offer political alternatives."

The Drivers of Far-Right Mainstreaming in Public Debates
The far right is gaining power in many liberal democracies. Far-right actors threaten democracy by spreading their nativist, exclusionary and authoritarian ideas through various means (Mudde 2019). They are protesting on the streets, mobilising support on social media, getting elected to parliaments and participating in governments. In Europe, far-right parties have increased their share of the vote in recent years and are currently in government in Italy, Hungary, Finland and Switzerland (Rood…

I just cancelled my Netflix subscription. The recent price increase was one too many.
On the bright side, having one month left forces me to choose the shows I actually want to watch in my ever growing list.
Here's a graph of the evolution of the (standard plan) price in Switzerland, from 12.90 CHF in 2014 to 20.90 CHF today.

I enjoy the social aspect of getting a few friends together to watch Eurovision and have a good laugh at shit happening on the TV but it's like stepping into a different universe.
How are people casting so many votes for Israel?
How is nearly every single jury casting so many votes for Switzerland when there were clearly so many better choices such as Croatia, Ukraine or Sweden? Did they watch the same Eurovision I did?

Croatia was robbed by the jury! Cha Cha Cha!
