1·4 days agoWater that salty is corrosive. You can’t just use it for datacenter cooling (or running a power plant) without removing the salt at considerable cost. It’s cheaper to bribe politicians to transfer fresh water into their use than it is to desalinate that and use it.

1·4 days agoI’m not looking for a silver bullet. But part of success is demand avoidance. And creating demand at the scale the datacenters are doing is going to make it far far harder to get to zero.

4·6 days agoBrownfield development would be perfect for data centers, but it’s slower and costs more.
There isn’t undesired water or electricity sources available at anything like the scale the AI companies want though; these things use truly huge amounts of energy

politics @lemmy.world•Two Blocks in Pennsylvania Show Why It’s So Hard for Campaigns to Reach Voters | In a competitive House district, residents get their election news from under-the-radar sources — or no sources at all.
2·6 days agoIt’s more that the news used to be funded in part (or whole) by advertising. Basically a newspaper was an ad delivery mechanism, with the news part being there only to get you to look at ads. Without that, news is unaffordable for most, so you end up with people just disconnecting.

Be really nice to build some local community so that you can both self host and have this kind of support if you need it
