Totally agree, swiss transfer is incredible but I thought its use was restricted to Switzerland?

If your swiss, just use swisstransfer.com. it's fast, supports up to 50gb of data, 500 transfers per day (and free!), more than you'll ever need. Although for security, they do say your filles are sent over https, but because they do not promote encryption I suppose they don't support that (although they do support password protected files).

So yeah, it's usually more than enough for most use cases, although I'd encrypt my files before sending them if they contain sensitive data, but that's rarely the case.

There is something very wrong when deleting 50% of wep page is the least it takes to make the internet usable...

Kinda agree, People should get necessities for free. A small apartment¹, access to public healthcare³, should get fresh food each week² (that way you also learn to cook and eat healthy), get all the clothing they need, plus I'd say a small amount of money each month for leisure (but nothing matching the spirit of UBI) It might be a unpopular opinion, but the freedom of choice is luxury, which, yes, you would have to work for to get. It would also be somewhat mitigated by the small amount of money you get each month, but it's main purpose is to keep some amount of independance from state aid⁴.

Now, you can image that if everybody earned suddenly much more per month, the prices would very quickly adapt and it wouldn't make much difference for the people who had nothing to begin with. Price regulation could be a possibility, but it is very much against the current economical ideology⁵ (aka communism), which we will probably have to stick with it for a while. So for now it seems to be the better option.

In the Mastodon app, there is a News tab, why is that ? Is it a way do monetize the service or just a help to check up on the hot news going on on Mastodon ?
