In Oklahoma, 21-year-old GOP organizer Kennedy Laplante Garza started fighting a nearby data center proposal known as Clydesdale after learning over the summer that it would be built a mile from her family’s farm. “I didn’t even know that much about data centers at that point,” she told me. “But I knew my friends across the state were fighting similar things, whether they were solar panels or wind turbines.” Garza wound up organizing a mass petition campaign against the project that ultimately proved unsuccessful — Clydesdale broke ground this week.

Emphasis mine.

Just… wow. What a fucking imbecile.

I just suck it down through apt or flatpak or homebrew or whatever is appropriate for the system I’m on. I tend to avoid manual download/install processes unless it is specifically recommended, or there’s no option to do it through a package manager.

Also: “To make money”

Well that’s repulsive in the extreme

Tell me you don’t understand AWS without telling me you don’t understand AWS.

One of my three strikes for my perma was because I posted that on a bandwagon thread during the API exodus lol

I’m guessing it’s AI slop image gen

Tbh it’s less weird than pivoting to weapons-grade uranium

Kessler syndrome goes brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

flatpak install flathub net.waterfox.waterfox

Why should I give a single shit about this obviously self-promoting marketing drivel from Anthropic?

The cloud is just someone else’s computer, and it always has been.

If OpenAI gets wiped out, maybe it wasn’t even a “real company” to start with

As an American, I fully and enthusiastically agree. Hell, if you let me, I’ll move there and lend my expertise to the effort.

Tbh if that’s the only value-add that windows can come up with compared to linux gaming in the long run… that’s a great argument for boycotting the games that insist on using that shit - or at least, insist on using insecure / shitty anticheat that’s incompatible with Linux, and/or requires comically and inappropriately broad permissions

And if anyone is on iOS and wants to give their beta app a spin:

if only there were some alternatives

Hahaha this is fine, I am fine with this, what could possibly go wrong

It’s easy - ISPs just bribed the people running the FCC now (because that’s become an ok thing to do), and the FCC turns around and says “yep sounds good”
