With the current anti-privacy climate in the CH… the choice to sell a business that will be impacted by a BÜPF revision makes sense, I guess. https://www.digitale-gesellschaft.ch/2025/05/02/bundesrat-will-ueberwachungsstaat-per-verordnung-massiv-ausbauen-stellungnahme-zur-teilrevision-vuepf-und-vd-uepf/

@nblr@chaos.social goodbye @threemaapp@mastodon.social - I enjoyed the time with you, but I believe we'll be better off if we think about going separate ways in the foreseeable future. #Threema #Capitalism #Enshittification

@nblr@chaos.social Threema Holding AG und Threema GmbH sind aber nicht dasselbe. Der Zusammenhang ist vom Namen her naheliegend, aber ich hab noch nix dazu gefunden. (Edit: Ok, Eigentümerwechsel (der Holding) und der Zusammenhang ist von @threemaapp@mastodon.social bestätigt.)
