yeah 100% agree. we have a saying in Switzerland (probably Germanic in general), "being dumb is one thing, staying dumb is another". maybe not the perfect thing to draw upon but the syntax is the same 😂

yeah fully agree. with that logic though there shouldn't be any excuses for people not to be able to join Lemmy because its "too technical". following instructions and taking the initiative of following / learning about your curiosities are two separate things.
can't code but can oddly setup a pretty fucking dope server
america is the only country that is except from Swiss banking privacy laws. they strong armed us with something (still dunno until today what exactly) to have it removed for american citizens.
they've been threatening this for year to keep suckling at the tit of governmental subsidies to make Switzerland look more attractive for investors with them being here. I doubt they'll follow through.
what covid response? our government simply played on "eigenverantwortung" (personal responsibility). in a country with one of the highest education levels it wasn't difficult to keep a distance of 2 meters during the peak of the pandemic unless you're surrounding yourself with naive people. I was able to go swimming in the lake in the summer, and skiing in the winter while Italy, France and Austria had this banned. weird to think about it but I honestly had a pretty fun time during covid and made some of the best friends to date during it. hell, we even had music festivals and our numbers were not horrible. I think you're thinking of Sweden. happens a lot.
