  • We had four mobiles going off at various points throughout the house. Only one human wasn’t sleeping, and everyone else was.

    What the flappy fuck are they thinking we’re gonna do while we’re sleeping?

    In a world where we canceled standard time because we didn’t want to suffer the injury risk of driving after the time change, how many injuries or deaths happened today because people got awakened at midnight and then some of us at 1am? How many of those deaths is worth what may have potentially been a risk in West Kelowna (the West Virginia of Kelowna - I say this as a GPSS student, upset at the name change)?

    I hate to be a one-issue voter, but I may have found my one issue.



  • This crusade against bad datacenters - poor cooling, poorly located, wasteful - is mislabeled as a crusade against ALL datacenters.

    Mislabeled? Yeah. I’ve worked with personal info - the kind you don’t want leaked (PII) - for years. You need that shit secure. You only do that with a very secure building designed to hold and protect all that storage for all those databases - healthcare info, courts docs, land title surveys, buried pipe maps, your bank account, 3tb of Epstein files - so it’s stored, secured and accessible only where required.

    That’s a datacenter. We need that one. But, like some others, this crusade will target those too. It’s a classic baby-with-bathwater issue.

    And maybe that’s what they want: they’re okay with crunchies killing 80 years of climate records and the Epstein files because both hurt the same dirtbags.

    Maybe we keep those datacenters around? Maybe we notice the difference between that one and whatever the hell musk has done? Maybe we protest the musk one as a Toxic Datacenter or part of Datacenter Blight instead of saying they’re all evil?

    Nuance is so hard these days, but just think a sec.
