   My experience of "representative" studies in psychology (university of Berne) was that they'd come up with something, then gather a group of "volunteer" psychology students - 80% women - who need to participate at x

   Most people don't care at all about privacy, or at most veery selectively. There are tons of services that'd have way less users otherwise. And just a few years ago, two referenda (peoples' vetoes) against new surveillance la

    Does it? Now I wonder what Alemannic (Swiss-German, maybe especially the heavier dialects like Bernese and Walliserdeutsch) sound to you, because to my Bernese ears, Dutch sounds a lot closer to my own language than pretty much all other ge
