So the Europe and Japan are just US lite? The fucking cowards have the best opportunity to shit on Trump’s actions but didn’t even mention him. They could have condemned those actions then also appealed to Iran, but instead sided with fascism. Fuck this world.

Okay, Ivermectin.

To elaborate on the power consumption a little… Current data centers are running at around 100+mw compared to the average household using around 1kw. A single center uses the power equivalent of town 20k-100k in population size. Meta is planning to build a data center that will run at around 2gw, which is a magnitude larger in power running over 1,000,000 GPUs compared to their current 100k+. So one DC is a larger city worth of power. In the grand scheme of the entire power infrastructure in the US, it may not register as something significant, but in the local areas they operate in, it’s often more than the rest of the city combined.

Step one. Don’t do fascism. Step two. ???

Energy prices are already rising for people near data centers. Near me, the state is reopening a nuclear plant closed because the maintenance to repair years of use exceeded its value. With DCs moving in, it is now a necessity. As you mentioned, it’s getting worse, but it’s already having an effect.

There’s also the insane water consumption required to cool their stuff. It’s destroying ecosystems everywhere.

From a selfish-ish point, it’s also already increased costs of chips used in RAM and GPUs and has taken stick off the market for consumers.

As far as your open source views, that’s great, but open source projects still get licensed under open source licensing and is at the behest of the creator. Ignoring that is effectively stealing from creators and that’s not okay. It’s one thing to learn from something, and then to cite those sources, and it’s another to take it, regurgitate it and not give credit. AI has been used to impersonate people in music and other media like content creators hurting their income and image with no recourse.

AI is ass at coding. It’s not a good teacher and struggles with any level of complexity. It is ok for troubleshooting, but it has been shown in almost every case that it’s not capable of replacing even junior devs effectively. AWS just had a coming to Jesus moment recently because AI generated code broke critical services and took down services that millions rely on. It’s not security conscious, and there are breaches of personal data left and right.

I’m not saying all uses of AI are the devil. It has it’s place for minor tooling, but the ethical implications mentioned above are just what I care to spend time elaborating on, but there are many more.

You need to check your facts about the power consumption part

Maybe eat shit fuck face.

Jensen is a dumb, out of touch motherfucker

Roads, vehicles, and traffic negatives aside, the engineering in all of this is quite crazy. Not saying it’s a good thing, so nobody come after me about defending cars and stuff, but the strength and design is intriguing.

I have a friend that married a PoS. At her wedding she told our mutual friend that her now husband hits her. I believe she got married because she was scared of being alone even though we’re not old enough for that to be a real concern. A week or more later the mutual friend and I were playing cards at her parent’s. The topic of the husband came up and we pushed the topic to this. I said she told us that he hit her. It turns out that they knew but had the belief that there is never a valid reason to get divorced. I shut that shit down right away and surprisingly they sort of agreed.

She divorced him months later.

Point being some people have weird and dangerous beliefs about marriage

Rich, poors with a car, and everything in between has people that illegally street race. Why? Because they find it exhilarating and don’t have empathy for those around them, assuming there are others on the road.

We’re all dying. Might as well enjoy the ride.

He’s got over a decade track record of being a piece of shit. We should acknowledge when they do something not shitty, but still criticise them and hold them accountable for their past actions. Failing to do that in the past is why we are in the current state we’re in.

I’ve been sailing for a good 20 years now. I run PIA VPN, which I know has concerns with their ownership, but that’s what I’ve always had and purchased before their sale, and have never had any issues. I have received 3 letters from ISPs in my life and all were when my VPN wasn’t running. No I have a kill switch in my workflow that will cut access with no VPN.

If you look into something like MEGA, all that data is http traffic. I’ve used that without a VPN a lot and have had no issues there, but that’s now my backup for when alternatives aren’t available.

VPN is almost for sure good enough, but there are other actions you can take if you want to take it further. Do a search for fmhy and follow some advice I there for detailed info.

Android and pixel buds to the same. I’m not sure if the buds are required to use it or just android.

I didn’t say shut up, I said grow up.

Admittedly, I also don’t know the law to the letter. I’m basing some of my opinion on OP saying spouse in their comment.

It’s one thing when the outside cheater doesn’t know that their fuck buddy is married, and it’s another when they do know. If you willingly engage in an action that destabilizes someone’s life because you want to get your fuck on, there should be monetary consequential.

I have no patience for cheaters, especially in a monogamous relationship. Again not because of sanctity of marriage,but because of the betrayal of trust and monetary consequences.

When healthcare is tied to one’s employment, it’s difficult to go out and make change. There are millions of people that are out protesting. It’s a lot easier said than done, but it’s still generalizing 60+ million people that didn’t sign up for this shit.

Anyone that gets upset by an innocent acronym needs to grow the fuck up. It’s not malicious and it’s accurate to the name.

I partially disagree with your second part but not because of any sacredness of marriage, but because once in a marriage a lot of finances and life decisions are made that can fuck a person’s life if suddenly up rooted. I feel like this law is an improvement on alimony because it’s a one time payment and the person that fucked it has to pay.

Really, I just like when shitty people get their comeuppance.
