It's neither. There are no voxels. Maybe "polygon creatures".

Es ist echt grausig, insbesondere für all die kleineren Websites, die CloudFlare's Free Plan nutzen und nur für die DTAG über EWG (New York) geleitet werden.

EIne einzige bargeldlose Transaktion zusammen mit der Payback-Karte sollte reichen, um deine Bezahlkarte für immer mit deinem Payback-Profil zu verknüpfen.

Ich bezahle mit der Android-App meiner Bank, die eine girocard und eine Visa Karte enthält, und nicht mit Google Pay kooperiert. Ich frage mich, was Google hier noch an Daten sammelt, außer dass die App und NFC benutzt wurde. Die Datenschutzerklärung liest sich relativ generisch (zu jeder App passend) und die App scheint keine zahlungsbezogenen Daten zu sammeln.

(AFAIK ein Unterschied zum Apple-Ecosystem, wo man an Apple Pay nicht vorbei kommt.)

Well, Wikipedia claims

The Earth has an internal heat content of 10^31^ joules (3×10^15^ TWh), About 20% of this is residual heat from planetary accretion; the remainder is attributed to past and current radioactive decay of naturally occurring isotopes.

In that sense, it's the only renewable energy source we have that's not indirectly powered by the sun. It's most similar to (proper) nuclear power, but the latter isn't "renewable" because it requires digging up fuel from the crust.

Isn't geothermal mostly nuclear power?

It does. The Signal app for Android does not support being a secondary device. It must be the primary device with a phone number.

In addition, whatever Play Store settings they use excluded all of our tablets, even the one that had a SIM. Manually installing the APK worked for this case, but that didn't really solve our problem.

Signal is not available for Android tablets, which was a deal breaker when I tried to move my family off Telegram.

Where did I say that?

This is a nonsense comparison as these features serve completely different purposes, while only having in common that advertisers currently use user tracking to achieve the same.

Topics data-mines your browsing history for information about your interests and reveals this information to advertisers in order to improve ad selection. It's meant to replace ad networks tracking each individual user's visits to connected websites and building that profile themselves. Since this is, in a way, much more powerful than tracking cookies, Chrome has a scary dialog asking for it to be enabled, and I don't think we'll be seeing it in Firefox. "Using different links" cannot replace user profiling at all.

PPA doesn't provide any new capabilities to advertisers. It's a privacy-preserving way of measuring ad campaign success that is currently done by ad networks tracking individual users from ad impressions to conversions. "Using different links" is also defective, as advertisers need to connect ad impressions to conversions even if they are not immediately connected through a click on the ad.

If these features become generally available, this reduces the leverage advertisers have on legislators to prevent tracking from being outlawed. Mozilla will be hoping Chrome picks up PPA.

It's another feature that intersects with the sidebar work but has to be enabled separately.
