social media actor shorts comedian

And also a real ophthalmologist, which seems relevant :-)

Yes, it’s common. Sometimes I’m too tired to even rage against it in the comments, but this one somehow got me 😄

No sector at all. See my other comment for the entire content of the change: https://discuss.tchncs.de/comment/24440569

There is fuck-all actionable in there. No new duties for any store, nor even really the national bank as providing cash was already its job… Please see my other comment for the change: https://discuss.tchncs.de/comment/24440569

The headline is wrong. The right to use cash wasn’t even part of it. It was pretty symbolic overall.

The original popular initiative:

Die Bundesverfassung wird wie folgt geändert:
Art. 99 Abs. 1bis und 5
1bis Der Bund stellt sicher, dass Münzen oder Banknoten immer in genügender Menge zur Verfügung stehen.
5 Der Ersatz des Schweizerfrankens durch eine andere Währung muss Volk und Ständen zur Abstimmung unterbreitet werden.

My translation:

The federal constitution will be changed as follows:
Art. 99 Par. 1+ and 5
1+ The federal executive ensures that coins and bank notes are always available in sufficient amounts.
5 A replacement of the Swiss Franc by another currency must be put to a popular and cantonal vote.

The counter proposal of the parliament we eventually voted for:

Die Bundesverfassung wird wie folgt geändert:
Art. 99 Abs. 1bis und 2bis
1bis Die schweizerische Währung ist der Franken.
2bis Die Schweizerische Nationalbank gewährleistet die Bargeldversorgung.

My translation:

The federal constitution will be changed as follows:
Art. 99 Par. 1+ and 2+
1+ The Swiss currency is the Franc.
2+ The Swiss national bank ensures the cash supply.

That’s literally the whole change.

Any ideas resembling forcing businesses to accept cash were dropped from discussion without making it into the proposal.

Edit: Here is a short version that’s even available in English on the Federal Council website: https://www.admin.ch/gov/en/start/documentation/votes/20260308/cash-nitiative-and-counter-proposal.html if you change the language in the top right to one of our national languages you can also download the PDF with the initiative text in the right sidebar, to verify my quotes.

Edit2: Added my translations

Edit3: In case anyone wants to know, I voted against both initiative and counter proposal. I just don’t see the point in a change without effect. Any change to national currency could already be overturned by popular referendum, if it was ever realistically proposed, whether it’s in the constitution or not. It just seemed like fear mongering by defeating a non-existent threat.

Not ruling anything out is their favorite bait, just another way to flood the zone with shit.

I think this is two stories being mixed a bit here?

A bit over one month old, the lending issues: https://www.cio.com/article/4125103/oracle-may-slash-up-to-30000-jobs-to-fund-ai-data-center-expansion-as-us-banks-retreat.html

Now, confirmation of the cuts that were suspected since last year from Bloomberg: https://www.reuters.com/business/oracle-plans-thousands-job-cuts-data-center-costs-rise-bloomberg-news-reports-2026-03-05/

I’m not saying there is not a link between the events, but somehow the posted article does a weird rehash mixed with news, and is not even dated, and I don’t like that, so I’m sharing the individual news pieces as separate links for other’s benefit.

I verified some of these. It has no idea what the current version is, how the last few versions were called, what the newest additions to the game are. It didn’t refuse to tell me how to craft a minecart though.

That sort of thing is blocked off it seems. Wouldn’t even tell me the price of minecraft.

Which one was that? The horses one?

…and third parties can’t win under FPTP

Dude I remember when you posted (for the first time?) last year sometime, and I immediately got hooked into doing like 50 stars of Hiragana training. Every few weeks since then your website has just gotten better.

The categories for confusable symbols, the picking and counterpicking modes including multiple morae sometimes, the foreign sounds, the achievements.

I’m astonished at your speed, really nice work, thank you so much!

It’s not clear whether Windows 12 will welcome any non-NPU processors. More likely, PCs that don’t meet its system requirements will lose some functionality.

They will lose some functionality, only if we accept that the slop features meet the definition of what makes a piece of functionality. They seem to not function quite a lot still.

The NCO said they were Christian and emailed the MRFF on behalf of 15 troops, including at least 11 Christians, one Muslim, and one Jew. (Full email printed below.) The NCO wrote to the MRFF that their commander “urged us to tell our troops that this was ‘all part of God’s divine plan’ and he specifically referenced numerous citations out of the Book of Revelation referring to Armageddon and the imminent return of Jesus Christ.”

How can you go in front of your mixed troops and start waxing lyrical about your specific religion? Like what sort of brain disease leads to this? Even if you are religious, you have to know that other people take their other religions just as seriously and recognize that perhaps it’s better not to sow discord between them if they are supposed to battle together.

Fully modular makes me think of microkernel OSes. Imagine if that behemoth of a Kernel, the NT Kernel was suddenly converted to a microkernel design haha.

Oh man I never realized there was a separate non-phone Motorola company that remained where it was. Thanks for the explanation.

Retroactively granting him the 2020 term, and in exchange terminating the current one would be a fine deal.

Just a term for shitty little kids, I think. Which makes it ridiculous to me, because if anything the parents are to blame until they develop further.

Well yeah, obviously. Did I seem like I was taking the concept seriously?

The content is hard to believe. But it seems the tweet is real. I have no idea if Mahdi Khanalizadeh usually has such insider access to information.
