and it’s especially surprising coming from two companies that serve billions of users worldwide
I mean, deanonymization and data-mining costs are gonna be R&D, so they're a fixed cost that doesn't really scale up with the size of the userbase, so it makes more sense, financially, for a company with a larger userbase to be putting resources into it.
You don't need to hit boiling levels to evaporate water.
You can editorialize in the body on Lemmy
Or, even better, just comment with one's position like everyone else.
Just noticed this on !technology@beehaw.org, which lemmy.world is defederated with. As I've seen a number of people using catbox.moe to host content posted on here before, thought it'd be of broader interest than to just the beehaw.org crowd.

It looks like CNN has video:

At least some of that has to be sped up to fit in the short clip, though.
EDIT: Ah, yeah, the bit I'm thinking of does mention that it's timelapse.
Europe consists of a bunch of peninsulas surrounded by ocean.

Water volume: 21,700 km³ (1.76×1010 acre⋅ft)

Water volume: 3,750,000 km³ (900,000 cu mi)

Water volume: 310,410,900 km³ (74,471,500 cu mi)
EDIT: For bonus points, if one is going to expend the waste heat on evaporating seawater anyway:

The North Korean government's totalitarianism predates Ninteen Eighty-Four. North Korea might have been an input for Nineteen Eighty-Four, mind...
As best I can tell from Trump administration statements, their strategy for mitigating their political damage has been to publicly demand that WalMart and other companies just take losses as he increases their input costs.
That's not going to happen, but I suppose that it doesn't matter, if enough people believe that it could.
I remember switching away from floppies to a--much faster, enormous---80MB hard drive. Never did come close to filling that thing.
Today, my CPU's cache is larger than that hard drive.
The plugin does, unless things have changed since it left GitHub, request permission on a by-website basis in Firefox. I kind of doubt that most people are reviewing that (large) list, but that's probably about as restrictive as one could reasonably do something like this.
The TLD of the source domain is probably more-or-less irrelevant as security. If someone were trying to set up malware, if they were willing to go through even the barest of efforts, they'd be more likely to do it through a VPN on a "legitimate-looking" domain; that's one of the lowest-effort ways to increase the credibility of malware. As I recall, Jia Tan did that on GitHub.
EDIT: Hmm. That does kind of suggest that Firefox might benefit from a plugin model where plugins could only have permission to process the "current page" when a button is clicked, which I'd guess would likely work for Bypass Paywalls Clean, even if it's not how it works today. Some plugins, like Behind The Overlay, could reasonably function in such a manner.
I hadn't followed this when apparently it became a topic of interest on Reddit.
Apparently people sit on a spectrum, where they can envision less color and detail, where people with aphantasia cannot envision anything.
Also, interestingly-enough, this is apparently not tied to the ability to envision things in dreams.
https://www.reddit.com/r/Aphantasia/comments/g69hc0/dreams_in_color/
I dream very vividly, in full colour, but am a total aphant.
That's fascinating. I can envision things voluntarily, if perhaps not as vividly as in real life---it's not on par with looking at a fully-detailed scene, but I can certainly do color. On the other hand, my dreams have always been on the border with being unable to visualize at all. Maybe there's a hint of color, but everything is normally desaturated, and things are transient and vague.
Huh.
On an entirely-unrelated note, I would make the following observations:
Monaco has no such law that I am aware of.
French is used in Monaco.
I don't know whether Pornhub cares about the IP address from whence a user is accessing it, but NordVPN appears to have Monaco exit nodes.
Pornhub apparently accepts cryptocoin payments via Verge.
