Over 600 cities in #Italy have passed resolutions to #halt #5G, as have cities throughout Europe, such as #Trafford, #UnitedKingdom, #Lille, #France ,Ormidia, #Cyprus, Balchik, #Bulgaria.

The Pancyprian Medical Association and Cyprus National Committee on the Environment and Child Health sent Parliament their position paper “The Risks to Public Health from the Use of the 5G Network.” #Bermuda has halted 5G pending a report on safety and hosted a 2020 Consultation. #Switzerland’s report on 5G #health effects resulted in the Parliament’s refusal to loosen their #radiation limits despite heavy industry lobbying efforts.

The #Netherlands 🇳🇱 issued a 5G report that recommended measuring radiation levels and also recommended against using the 26 GHz frequency band for 5G “for as long as the potential health risks have not been investigated.”

Switzerland mandates software source code disclosure for public sector: A legal milestone

Typical Swiss countryside view with rolling green hills and tall green trees. To the right in the near foreground stands a vertical piece of rock, with a Swiss flag mounted on top of it.
The EMBAG law stipulates that all public bodies must disclose the source code of software developed by or for them, unless precluded by third-party rights or security concerns. This mandate aims to ensure greater transparency, security, and efficiency in government operations by promoting the use of OSS, which allows for public scrutiny and contribution to the software code​​.

One of the critical aspects of this law is encapsulated in Article 9, which not only mandates the disclosure of source code but also allows public bodies to offer additional services related to support, integration, or IT security, provided these services align with public tasks and are offered at a cost-covering remuneration. This provision ensures that while fostering OSS, the government can also maintain a competitive balance and avoid market distortion​​.

The crux of it really comes down to public money being used for these services. An added benefit of course is that the software could be supported if the supplier goes out of business. Vendor lock-in is a major risk in public sector IT and this helps break that perception / reality. As for security it must be remembered that this is the operational code, and not user data, encryption keys, API keys, etc which always remain private.

La Suisse fait partie de l'espace appelé #BananeBleue.

La Suisse est si riche qu'un adulte sur 8 est #millionnaire.

Un quart de toutes les matières premières négociées dans le monde, le sont depuis la Suisse.

Remarque surprenante, mais intéressante :

Être un paradis fiscal est très souvent lié au fait d'être une puissance nucléaire.

Le premier million est toujours le plus dur à gagner.
