I don't want to get too political, but calling the CDU/CSU liberal is pretty misleading in this context considering that they are part of the EVP (conservative) on a European level and not Renew Europe (liberal).
What has anything I said to do with the European parliament? I'm talking about the same parties in general. Greens are even further right than cdu/csu who have the same policies in 99% of cases as libs

Do you practice self censorship like the German media?
Two issues I see here would be that a) the demand and production of how water and compute power might not align and b) the amount of water heated this way would probably not be nearly enough for most people.
What is probably more feasible is to save on heating costs by heating your apartment partially with your computer.
I wouldn't call about 10% of their net revenue nothing, but also not a core part of their business. I think it goes more towards promoting the brand and image.
I would actually go as far as potentially considering email a distributed protocol for live-chat considering how quickly they are delivered [1]. I'm aware that is not how many people use them, but I believe that is more related to the interface and not the underlying technology. Somebody could probably built a live-chat messenger that looks like Teams or iMessage while actually just being an email client. Edit: This already exists [2].
Not the author, but I have heard the criticism that it is trying to monopolize blogging. Oh, and it is hosting "white-supremacist, neo-Confederate, and explicitly Nazi" content. [1]
Not a lawyer, but that seems to be from the 60s and a quick Google search showed some court decisions that extraditions to the UK are not possible as staying silent can harm your defense, which contradicts German basic law where it states: "No German may be extradited to a foreign country. The law may provide otherwise for extraditions to a member state of the European Union or to an international court, provided that the rule of law is observed."
The author is not against files, but against sharing files.
You can't control what the person does with it or who they share it with. For all I know they are just uploading it straight to ChatGPT. Therefore sharing files is loosing ownership.
On the other hand just because something is in a cloud doesn't mean it isn't yours. It can also be in your own self-hosted cloud.
That is correct, but putting a hurdle like this into place will stop the majority of people that don't know what they are doing and are just going to upload your sensible data to all sorts of places.
We're talking about Google Docs. Ctrl-A Ctrl-C takes moments, even in read-only mode. Sure, some hypothetical technology may be able to prevent this, but that's just not how people share documents online right now.
Most people know how to screenshot or take a picture.
Similarly, these kinds of measures ("it'll make it harder which is better than nothing") usually just ends up annoying legitimate users while not providing any actual security.
> You can't control what the person does with it or who they share it with. For all I know they are just uploading it straight to ChatGPT. Therefore sharing files is loosing ownership.
Maybe they are feeding it into a screenreader or a local LLM because that is what works for them, or because they suffer from challenges you aren't aware of and don't need to be. You still have the same "ownership" of any files on your computer and data within, from a legal perspective. What you are talking about isn't ownership, it's control. Control to hamper others' usage of data which they're already allowed to access.
That desire for technical control is an exercise in futility: If I wanted to share a piece of sensitive info, aside from copying it via a number of technical means, I can just talk to someone in person and say "I saw...", or perhaps a malicious actor will hack my computer and gain access to it via screenshots, packet captures, arbitrary logging, etc.
Thus, if you don't trust me to secure the contents of a file (whether due to incompetence or malice), and aren't willing to risk it, don't send it to me. Most people in the world don't send me their files, and I'm ok with that. Alternatively, and also common, is to send the file to people who are contractually bound to use it in accordance with a set of terms. For example: an employment contract; or a partnership agreement.
The iPhone 13 pro is 71.5mm x 146.7mm x 7.65mm [1] and the iPhone 16 pro is 71.5mm x 149.3mm x 8.25mm [2].
While it did get a tiny bit bigger I wouldn’t have noticed this u less you would look up the spec, especially as it got lighter from 204g [1] to 199g [2] at the same time.
> I know it’s weird to those of us who like the opposite and funnily enough it’s often women who have gigantic phone, which they can’t put in their tiny jean pocket.
Most women carry their phone in a hand bag anyway as the pockets on most pants for women are way to small either way [1].
The pants thing is another baffling mystery. I know exactly zero women who want their pants to not have pockets. Yet manufacturers absolutely refuse to add pockets. It seems like a complete market failure.
