  • Before people start pulling out their pitchforks against all DCs, they need to realize that “normal” DCs aren’t inherently bad. Most likely this Lemmy instance is running out of a Datacenter. They let you take advantages of economies of scale with domain specific knowledge around power and cooling. You can buy cloud or colo your stuff there.

    What is bad are the AI Datacenters, which are stupidly overkill on size, power and water usage. I’d love to see a site tracking those specifically.










  • Your landlord cares about politics… that’s why he votes people in who make sure renters have less rights.

    Your boss cares about politics… that’s why he votes people in who make sure you can’t form a union, and keep the minimum wage low

    You may not care about politics, but the people who have a direct impact on your life definitely do. And the longer you leave it to them, the less rights you’ll have.






  • Adults or not. Imagine if your boss came on to you. Even if you liked them and thought it’s something you wanted to do, they still hold “power” over you: “will I be denied a promotion if I say no?”, “will I be fired if I break up with them?”, “will I get this promotion if I sleep with them?”.

    Even if it’s consenting, the fact they they can have a direct impact on your job means that it is not an equitable situation that is of mutual consent. That’s why companies have rules about dating in the workplace or nepotism.
