  • I live in a country that produces 70+% of its energy through nuclear reactors.

    Sure we are definitely an exception but turning off datacenters where I live wouldn’t change anything about coal.

    To be clear I’m not advocating for nuclear energy nor am I saying it’s a bad option.

    Every country has a different energy mix, some more “carbon efficient” than others let’s say but it is not only revolving about coal and renewables.

    Anyway, I think it’s fairly clear to me the datacenters won’t shutdown anytime soon even without AI it’s gonna be a major consumption of energy in any country. So I think nuclear should definitely at least considered as an option and to some extent be part of any energy mix. I think everyone knows that only renewables is not really a realistic scenario. Coal obviously is the worst option in any amount. So yeah, I was surprised that you didn’t mention it that’s it. I do think it’s very much relevant to the topic of the ever increasing energy consumption we are all gonna face in the future. This post would probably not even exist if we shutdown datacenters but I suppose you meant it as shutting down only processing power toward AI. But still we will need more datacenters in the future no matter what.








  • What I’m understanding is imgur could get fine even if they dont offer their service anymore in the UK.

    They could go back to just after the law passed and tell them “hey you were infringing on this extremely disrupting law that would completely change your business in the UK so pay up”.

    I mean if a business just decides to not serve UK customer they should leave them alone… Especially such a complex law for something like Imgur…



  • This is why I didn’t bother switching to GOS, Lineage, Calyx etc despite being sick of Apple’s anti-foss monopoly — marketed as Privacy™️ and Security™️ — for years.

    Bullshit. If you liked so much your freedom and privacy you would have many opportunities to use open source ROMs. You chose to stay on your iPhone because it was easy.

    Also absolutely not believing you when you say that you anticipated the rug pull and chose to “not bother” for that reason. What a poor excuse for staying and supporting the closed ecosystem of Apple.

    After already having to change my services and workflows multiple times over the last 2 decades

    I can’t believe someone who has been for years on an iPhone would pretend they are an ardent defender of freedom and open source.



  • I think the devs are making a mistake by reacting interacting the trolls.

    They are people frothing at the mouth and sent on that steam page with a political agenda. It seems the devs think they will “change their minds” after they brought the topic of slavery for no reason…

    So I will add this to my wishlist check if I can report the posts that are straight up insults or racists and move on.

    The trolls in question can’t stand that this game might be successful and there is nothing they can do beside review bombing at release which should trigger Steam’s detection.

    Don’t feed the trolls and entertain them with a discussion…
