Data center owners should work as aggressively as possible to build solar and wind capabilities. It would be best for all parties involved. They’d get cheaper energy and it would benefit everyone by not polluting as much.
Even if they cannot power all of their energy needs with renewables they could build some every year.
These companies are so rich they can easily afford it.
Sadly that’s going to change. Musk is going to push an update that I suspect will turn Grok into a far-right disinformation parrot or become closer to that. See https://lemm.ee/post/67429541 and https://lemm.ee/post/67216433
I wasn’t aware of this before. No wonder Musk felt comfortable stepping down as CEO, he just appointed a like-minded person.
That’s excellent! Hopefully there will be more and more people who don’t know anyone who uses Twitter.
100%! I’m sure you’re not using it but if you have friends/family still on there urge them to quit using Twitter.
I really hope the passenger or passengers are OK. Being stuck in a burning car has to be one of the worst ways to go.
This is why it’s so sick that Musk puts profits over safety. Elon Musk doesn’t care about the people who burn alive in his cars. If you drive a Tesla this could one day be your fate and you may not be able to escape. Teslas are designed to shut off power in a car accident yet they also use electric door handles. See the issue with that? They do have an emergency escape option but in an accident with all the adrenaline and emotion it may be hard to find them or use them. Certain Tesla models do not have an emergency escape option in the back. Please do not have passengers especially children in the back if your Tesla doesn’t have an emergency escape.
If for some reason you own a Tesla: please for your own safety regularly practice exiting the vehicle using the emergency escape. I do not want this to happen to you or anybody. Also I know a car is a very major purchase but if it’s well within your means or something you could afford without a big impact on your finances you may want to consider getting another car when you can.
It’s a complex issue but I do believe that what is in the poster is true or mostly true. I say mostly true because in 1941 they had “the strongest, most explicit and most widespread protest movement against any Nazi policy since the beginning of the Third Reich”. They were protesting against Aktion T4 which was a policy to kill many disabled children.
Imagine if the protests were stronger against the Nazi regime?
I will fight hard and do everything I can to ensure that it will end with Trump. I hope you will join me in doing what you can to put a stop to fascism.
I’d rather we nip things in the bud, defeat fascism earlier and avoid millions of deaths. My point was to think about what we can do different this time so we won’t get the same treatment because we resisted and stopped Trump.
If the people you subscribe to are not ones who monetization is important you may want to consider reaching out to them and asking if they’d consider cross posting to PeerTube or another YouTube alternative. They may appreciate not putting all their eggs in one basket and reaching new potential fans.
If Republicans want to play that game Democrats should hold hearings on Trump’s mental fitness. He’s the one who’s actually in office and the one who clearly has cognitive decline.
I hope they crush SpaceX one day.
Registered Democrats in NYC: you have the chance to make a difference right now! Vote early now or show up June 24 for the NYC mayor primary. Fully fill out your ballot with five ranked choices. Exclude sexual abuser Cuomo from your ballot because even if you put him last it could in theory help him.
Keep boycotting all of Musk’s companies until he’s bankrupt and behind bars. Boycott Tesla and boycott Twitter. Remember to tell your friends that Tesla cars are unsafe because of their electric locks that can trap people in the cars in an accident and have build quality issues.
Why pay money to a company who wants to destroy you? No government should give a dime to Peter Thiel’s Palantir. Thiel is an evil sociopath who may have murdered his boyfriend. He also wants to basically abolish government. A government giving money to Palantir is like a snake eating its own tail.
Screw those people and screw Rogan and Spotify itself for not only allowing Andrew Tate’s hate, but also Rogan’s disinformation and recently allowing Bannon back on to Spotify.
I urge everyone to contact Spotify or cancel your subscription and when you cancel be very sure to fill out the reason why you canceled.
There are companies which offer training and support to FOSS. Companies could also pay those companies.
I sometimes wonder what if everyone who spends money on licensing fees instead takes the same amount of money and puts it into FOSS. Imagine what we could achieve? Likely the money would be used more efficiently because they could donate it to non-profit companies which don’t need to pay tax.
You did something today: you helped remind me of him, with so much chaos he slipped my mind.
If you’re feeling frustrated by lack of power to do anything what you can do to help is chip away Trump’s pillars of support. Have you ever played Jenga? If you pull out enough blocks the tower will eventually fall. The biggest blocks holding up Trump are the billionaire wealthy donors and the right-wing propaganda machine.
Twitter is an example of both right-wing propaganda machine and owned by the biggest political donor to the GOP and one that we all can easily make a difference in by personally stop using it if you have an account and urging your friends and family to also stop using Twitter. Then try contacting organizations with an account and ask them to switch to Bluesky. And of course boycott Tesla and boycott Starlink too. If you like buying stocks maybe invest in SpaceX’s competitors.
For billionaire donors you can boycott their companies for example Uline is another big donor. We can make a difference. I see them as a good boycott target due to their reputation of being overpriced. Whenever you buy something online look at the box and labels. Do you see the words Uline on it? If so contact the vendor and tell them that Uline is overpriced and unethical, they can save money by switching to another supplier. This post shows someone about cut their costs in half by switching away from Uline: https://bsky.app/profile/geneha.com/post/3low65f4zac2d and https://refuseuline.com/ has a long list of alternatives.
Another big donor is the fossil fuel industry. I recently made a post about what you can do about that.
Looks wonderful to me!
