Not at all, if you actually read the article, in which the connection to Signal is laid out clearly.

What’s reason we are talking about Signal here.

That’s very easy to answer. Signal comes up here because that’s what actually happened in the case that brought the bug to light.

The FBI recovered message content from the Apple notification service that happened to come from Signal, and used it to secure a conviction against people who used Signal in planning their anti-ICE activities

Unlucky for Signal from a PR perspective but that’s just what actually happened, so people write about that rather than hypotheticals where other encrypted messaging apps would have suffered the same issue.

There should be a negative consequence for proposing obviously unconstitutional bullshit with no chance of passing just for publicity

I don’t think this community is meant for rhetorical questions.

I only heard about this one so far

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/middle-east/iran-shipping-route-strait-of-hormuz-b2942596.html

It’s right there at the top:

Wow it’s almost back at feature parity already! Only 4.5 years after release!

At night.

This was neither a good attack, nor a good false flag attack. It’s just a nothing burger.

It is really debt when it stays on the books and the debtor has to pay interest, and servicing all that debt consumes 15% of the budget.

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.

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!

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.

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.

We have noticed you prick

How the hell did he arrive at the conclusion there was some sort of one-drop rule for non-protected works.

Just because the registration is blocked if you don’t specify which part is the result of human creativity, doesn’t mean the copyright on the part that is the result of human creativity is forfeit.

Copyright exists even before registration, registration just makes it easier to enforce. And nobody says you can’t just properly refile for registration of the part that is the result of human creativity.

Not sure what you are saying. With the order of the meme reversed it doesn’t make it obvious which point is supposed the clearer point of view…
