Democratization as in buying a narcistic president with a golde iphone, amongst others?

Can't see it. Reddit has become really open web hostile on mobile. Sad

I saw an article where they are going to login only outside of the US as a trial to go login only full time.

So yea, dead site.

What replaces Reddit? For the last years the only reliable way to get useful information on search was to add "Reddit" at the end.

Reddit is mostly bots, paid shills, and children, not a way to get useful information.

X is the same except of course much worse

Digg

you already have to log in if you want to use good(old) reddit.

Cool! One of the best bands of NL. Now even more

I don't understand the politicians wanting all these data centers. It's not a lot of jobs. And when these datacenters are built for a US-company, big fat chance that a European alternative has less chance of a good spot. It's utterly stupid. And then there is the electricity usage, the uglyness, environmental issues.

I think the property taxes go up as the land captured is usually fallow so it goes from negligible property tax revenue to small. And although there aren't a ton of jobs like a factory, it's still jobs that wouldn't exist as data centers use land that literally no one else wants to do anything with.

AWS employs 239,020 globally.

It is in fact a lot of jobs.

Only a tiny minority of AWS employees work on/in/around the data centers. Quick research shows an average of ~0.2-0.3 employees per MW for large DCs, so at best it's gonna be a couple hundred jobs.

Power transfer stations also don't have a lot of jobs on site. But they provide infrastructure for millions of jobs.

Are you aware that data centers function globally? You don't need to have a data center next to you.

The datacenters pay local taxes, and it's an absolutely insane number per unit area of DC.

I mean you could say something similar about most utilities though. Google will pay taxes on their investment to Finland and the services will be available to people in the region whats else would you really ask for?

Oligarchy, it's comprised of both the politicians and those at the top of corporations and "non profits"

What??!? You don't like the design of the cybertruck?

Depends on how you define 'fun'. If making fun is something like 'he should be killed', yes, you could end up in jail. Good

What reasonable person would define this as fun?

Do you have any official guidelines what jokes are people allowed to funny and which are not?

I'm sorry, but you should really read up about the laws in the US and in Europe. U laws are a lot more easy on spying agencies and spyware companies like Google and Facebook than European laws. Backdoors: ask the CIA about random number generators. Surveillance: heard of the cloud act?

Fantastic, thx for the effort!
