  • AI overviews should be opt-in, not opt-out

    I have found them useful from time to time, i turned them off because I know where to find the switch button and for environmental reasons it would be way better to force this on everyone - but knowing a lot of people might not find this button, or even look for it, i could also see how some users might be lured (back) to the big tech alternative.

    Also for us a box where you type in a search query is different as a box where you start a conversation, but i think this difference will only grow smaller - just like how desktop web pages changed appearance because of mobile-first design. Not saying you have to like it of course, but i can see the business decision here choosing growth over principles. Them getting a bigger market share is, imo, more important than them having a small carbon footprint.









  • Registering is not limiting people’s actions though. You can drive your car wherever you want yet it carries two plates making it very clear it is registered and if you break a rule it can be traced back to you. Sure criminals can use fake or stolen plates, but my point is that registering a transaction means you can still make that transaction. If it is a lawful transaction it does not limit your movement.


  • Why not “have to be registered with the government”? That’s still allow law abiding citizens to do whatever they want with their money.

    Also, people saying digital money on your local bank is different than paper money of the central bank; both are merely a promise. Back in the day the promise was related to a value in gold, now either are relatively empty promises. All banks do is keep track of the numbers, a bank note is proof your unregistered number is valid.


  • Introductory paragraph:

    Since 1994, Infomaniak has followed the same path: privacy, environmental responsibility, and local roots. Thirty-two years on, these commitments are no longer just promises. On 13 May 2026, our founder Boris Siegenthaler transferred the majority of Infomaniak’s voting rights to a Swiss public-interest foundation: the Infomaniak Foundation. An irrevocable move, rare in Europe, that places the company beyond the reach of any takeover and sets its DNA in stone. For you, our customers, this means one thing: your cloud will remain Swiss, independent, and true to its values. Forever.
