We need Anonymous to do something about data centers.
Well, we are working on it, cuz.
Remember, data centers need internet to function. Usually.
I prefer calling them clanker lairs
I just yelled "what!" outload.
I guess they’re in the FO part of FAFO. I really hope this kind of stuff wakes people up enough to do something about it.
County with 37 datacenters can go fuck itself with a cactus.
here come the brownouts motherfuckers...
We all see this coming, but the billionaires and our state/county/city leaders assure us everything will be fair and fine.
Same deal with water. It will be 100 degrees and data centers will be draining local water supplies, while residents will be told not to water their flowers or take too many showers.
Fuck all this.
I love that their solution is to not use the thing that the data centers are supposed to be for.
Oh don't worry, people in Silicon Valley won't feel the restrictions and will be running their OpenClaw-type chained agents all night long doing absolutely nothing of worth.
In Virginia during the fifa World Cup there are a lot of pro data center ads funded by a group that was created for this purpose called Virginia Connects.
It’s the usual shitbags lying to the public to make it sound like data centers are good
Are they in cahoots with the PACs that support pro AI candidates? (Are they the same groups? I really don't know.)
