📢 The Federal Council plans to reduce the SNSF's budget by 270 million Swiss francs. The SNSF rejects these cuts. However, in order to be prepared, it has decided to cut costs in consultation with all partners.

Nach meiner Einschätzung sind nicht nur große Teile der Microsoft-O365-Service kompromittiert, sondern auch alle Windows-Rechner, die damit verbunden waren. Ein Super-Gau epischen Ausmaßes - scheint vielen aktuell nicht klar zu sein. 🤷‍♂️ 👇

I'm appalled by the ideas put forward by Michael Hill, head of grant management at @snsf_ch, in this "world view" article.

Republikaner in Wyoming wollen bis 2035 den Verkauf von Elektroautos verbieten. Wegen der stolzen Tradition von Öl & Gas.
Ich bin froh, dass so oft klargestellt wird, dass es die Klimaaktivisten sind, die Freiheit beschränken und Wirtschaft bremsen. Ich wäre sonst jetzt verwirrt.
