This fucking site, I swear… I want to delete my account. But my account is blocked. I never used Facebook on another device than my PC, never on mobile. And to unlock my account to delete it, I have to… log in from another device. No other way. I tried everything, and the best is, their fucking customer centre is a useless chatbot. I hate this.

150K for a dev in Switzerland is a very high salary. 145K for a senior dev with architecture and product ownership, maybe, but a simple senior dev is usually more around 130K. I’m a dev working in Switzerland. Also even though Switzerland is small, there are important salaries differences between towns. That’s a high salary in Zurich, way too high for Neuchatel for example. Austria is cheaper.

[edit] Ooooooh forget what I said. I didn’t consider the amount was in USD and not CHF. 150K is actually 118K in CHF, which is a good salary don’t get me wrong, but not very high. Perfectly on par for a senior dev. Cost of life in Switzerland is VERY high.

That’s basically google’s main business. Their business is not in web search, video platform, mobile OS, email or AI, it’s ad. People forget Google is an ad company, that uses any tool available to give you ad. If it’s free and not open source, you are the product. Either to sell your attention and availability to companies through ads, or to use your data to do profiling, build a more vicious ad platform and sell your data on the side.

Cute that US still think they will have elections after the orange buffoon. November will be very interesting, and maybe an eye opener for the remaining septics: I’ll say it here now, trump is a fascist, a pedophile, a narcissist, and a dictator. He will not leave. He will use putin’s playbook. The rest of the world needs to wake up now and consider the US as an antagonist, same as Russia and China. I would be delighted to be wrong, wait and see I guess.

I catch that joke now. I’m over 40.

Nah, don’t worry dude. America is just on the same level as China, Russia, North Korea and others now: not an enemy, not an ally. A potential threat, with a dictator at its head.

This. I’ve been told for years to sit with my back straight, everything at 90 degrees (elbows, knees) while working. A lot of hernia problems. Eventually went to a physio, told me it’s BS. My hernia nerve was inflamed, had to do some light exercise to get it fixed, then he told me “just sit comfortably, and change positions often”. No problem since. Sitting straight as an I for hours is not good at all actually !

“As long as he’s in charge” and beyond. That orange clown proved the world that with the current political system in the US, no deal make sense. Every accord is useless, a visa means nothing. The first lunatic president can change the rules on a whim, it’s not safe to do business or even to travel to the US. Even if the current dictator is overthrown by a smart and sane person, without changing deeply all the political system, everything can disappear at the next election.
