"Six months ago, this country was stone cold dead. We had a dead country. We had a country—people didn't think it was going to survive, and you ask a nasty question like that," Trump continued. "It's called negotiation," he added, before claiming he intentionally set China's initial tariff at 145% to "go down a little bit."

The Trump format: say something asinine. Say it again but slightly dumber. Say it a thi—no never mind just the two is good I guess, wait actually say the third thing but start over and actually it’s something different this time. Insist that the person you’re talking to is “nasty” because you forgot what you were talking about. Say a fourth stupid thing.

A bunch of people in California have already lost coverage due to this and claiming fire risk. Fucking bullshit.

I did watch the trial. It looked to me like somewhat of a railroad job, I’ll be honest with you. It looked to me like some people said some stupid things, you know, they were drinking, and I think they said some stupid things,” Trump continued.

Trump has strong “they’re good honest boys who just made a tiny mistake and maybe she shouldn’t have been wearing that dress” vibes.

Hey now, be fair; It’s guzzled down all of our water too.

AI is not the whole cloud, it's a fraction of the cloud

And yet it uses so much more energy per capita. This is not like a secret, dude.

Do you have any idea of the amount of water a datacenter consume ?

No. Nobody has exact figures because there is a mountain of intentional obfuscation hiding it. We know that it is a tremendous amount of water because we can estimate and we can see the data of towns literally going into extreme droughts right next to data centers, but is is suspiciously difficult to get actual numbers. This should tell you a lot.

Tell me where there is any proof this is meta fault

Did… did you not actually watch the video? The video very clearly answers this. Like, multiple times.

Go explain to these people why “bigger DCs are actually better”: https://youtu.be/DGjj7wDYaiI

Here’s the MIT Press detailing the ridiculous carbon and water impacts of data centers: https://thereader.mitpress.mit.edu/the-staggering-ecological-impacts-of-computation-and-the-cloud/

“AI” is not worth this.

Sure, some of them are much bigger and more environmentally destructive.

So this is Jenkins except it guzzles water and ruins the lives of people near data centers?

Guess there’s no accounting for stupid.

No, I am 100% certain they know that the vast majority of people don’t care and some people really really hate it, but nobody actually enjoys it.

[–] natecox 2 points 5 days ago

lol same. I thought the originals were a myth.

I’ll take my huge stack of Windows 3.1 floppies and see myself out.

 

Do we have an established practice for requesting defederation?

I would very much like to request that we defederate from burggit.moe (because I would prefer to keep my lemmy experience free of loli porn) and I went looking for the best way to do this, but the best I could come up with was posting to meta and that seems like the wrong place.

I feel like I missed something obvious ¯_(ツ)_/¯
