We do accept „censorship“ if it follows due process based on clear and well-intended laws. Think taking down piracy sites, child porn, slander.
But CUII is formed by a private oligopoly, with anonymous judges, implementing vague rules, trying to keep secret even what they block. All while limiting what the vast majority of Germans (who don’t know what DNS is) can access on the internet. IMO that’s the issue.

Also, where is Apple Intelligence at all for any other language? I‘m from Germany and my phone is set to German. There is still no option to even enable it, although the phone was marketed all the same for Apple Intelligence.

The great thing about Reddit is how it removes almost any friction from creating and joining new „forums“. The less friction or transaction cost you have the better. Without Reddit I’m not sure we’d have dedicated forums of people posting their grilled cheese sandwiches or Babylon 5 GIFs

> The reason you're paying is for the ink to be delivered, even if pricing is only indirectly related to that.
This is factually plain wrong. You’re paying per page. If you print more pages than agreed, even on the same cartridges, you need to pay up per page. When you sign up, they even tell you to keep your original cartridges because the new ones are for your subscription only.
No one is paying for an agreed amount of ink or cartridges to be delivered. That’s not the service. The advantage of InstantInk is that you literally don’t care about ink anymore. You know you can print the amount of pages and HP takes care of when and what ink you need.

Except that dollar shave club sells you replacement parts at a reduced rate (eg 9$ parts for 6$ per month) while HP sends you ink cartridges that usually cost around 100$ for 3$ per month to use. The service wouldn’t make any sense for them if you’re allowed to use them outside of the subscription. This constant complaining about InstantInk is completely nonsense.

Please see their article [1] for details, before claiming something is impossible.
TL;DR: They check how many ads and trackers are on websites and punish those in the sorting.
Most of the useless websites are full of affiliate links, ads and tracking so they naturally get downgraded.
If you’re talking about a niche topic with only one result you obviously still get that one result, but I’d argue for most search terms the issue lies in ordering the very many results.

It's back up as of now!

Fixed that number some minutes after posting, missed a couple of magnitudes there :)

I've had an ASIC miner (the only viable way to mine Bitcoin) at home for testing purposes and you can rest assured, that the power usage and noise profile of those devices is incomparable to any home purpose device. We're talking 3 kW constant load, meaning 26 MWh or 26,000 kWh per year. Per capita electricity usage in Europe is around
5,600 kWh per year [1], that is about ~4,6 times less, including your whole gaming setup all other appliances.
Also, the noise of the fans required to cool such an electric load will get you thrown out of any apartment complex fast, not even considering that this heat is dissipated into your living room which would lead to somewhat uncomfortable room temperatures of over 30°C even in the coldest of winters.
What you're probably thinking about is GPU-based mining, but that has nothing to do with Bitocin.

Gmail has specific bulk (!) sender requirements, which to my knowledge don’t include a blanket downranking of residential and „VPS“ IPs (the latter are just datacenter IPs anyways). You need TLS, SPF, DKIM, DNS and reverse DNS entries that align, ideally DMARC and that’s pretty much it.

At one point I misconfigured a relay as unauthenticated and we got abused by spammers for a day. We got put on all sorts of blacklists within hours and got our IPs cleared self-service immediately after fixing the issue.
If you just send emails completely unauthenticated, yes they will be blocked.
