NIMBYs using Bluesky datacenters in OTHER areas to post about data centers in still other areas. bsky.app/profile/vaga...

Brian Ragle@vagabondvisions.bsky.social

80% of current #datacenter compute is for non-AI things like website hosting, content delivery, SaaS for enterprise, education, and social media. #Bluesky uses two primary datacenters in Santa Clara CA and Ashburn VA. Every post you make goes through one of them. Info dump 🪡 coming up. 1/5

Not the own you think it is. The data center problem is resource wasting, cheap, low-quality data centers that destroy the water table and run off coal plants. There are plenty of ways to do it properly, the tech bros just don’t want to pay for it. Not an Apple fanboy but this is one approach:

cloudnews.techApple increases energy consumption to 2,500 GWh in data centers while maintaining 100% renewable energy | Cloud NewsApple has increased its energy consumption in its data centers worldwide to over 2.5 billion kWh during 2024, according to its latest Environmental Progress

First off, it's everyone - unless you are suggesting they are only being built where a specific party lives. Are you? If it's their lives or his profit, and the government has abrogated its responsibility to protect our Rights, lives, property, and pocketbook, what do you think they'll choose?

Awe, doesn't care about the welfare of the masses but that apparatus scared him. People are afraid of what damage those data centers of his will cause. Does he get the drift???

Portable!? And biking!! I love a portable, environmentally friendly execution model!!!!Mine would be…but they have trouble riding a bike.

That fear he felt, that made him leave? We live with it every day. We live in world where if you are not a white, male, multi millionaire, you're in danger. From the government g, from the disease it lets spread and the wars it starts, the climate it's destroyed. I'm glad he was afraid.

We don't want them, ANYWHERE! The planet is on fire and all these multi billionaire assholes can think of is padding their bank accounts. It's time to step back a few notches from this technology before there's nothing left for our children's children's children. It may already be too late.

Let the "run out of towns" be a lesson. PEOPLE don't want them and that for good reason. Time to be honest with ones self. IF they don't know what data centers are and will do .. find out before getting giddy about having your property, livestock, water, exposure to emfs destroyed. Yeah, those.

He was scared? Good. I want these rich sociopaths to know we will happily do them what they’ve done to our neighbors and coworkers. I want them afraid of all of us. We outnumber these selfish bastards.

More proof of what can be achieved when YOU show up and speak out 🗣️

Residents once again demonstrated that showing up and speaking out can still make a difference, got a proposed data center in New Jersey canceled.

Capitalists demand a profit Consequences be damned Socialists demand a society (Yes,there are different flavors of socialism)

Is this all inevitable? Are there small underground movements growing with decreasing regard for "civil niceties"? And willing to throw wrenches into gears when the opportunity arises?

Yup! Love this. Data Centers will kill humans and wildlife! Why do we need more!! Internationally America leads with the most data centers. Why do we need over 5k of them??? I believe people had no idea this was happening until much too late. Keep fighting people. No more data centers!!

Murdering civil servants when they disagree with you is always a funny joke in a democracy. #Comedy Also, it's "run" out of Salem, even in past tense and he's still there (it's a temporary moratorium on "new" data centers to appease the morons; the Verrus site is private land grandfathered in).

Don't these wealthy people have large estates ? Why not just build their data centers there instead ? Are they not pleasurable to live next to ? So many questions..answered by so many lies

AI videos vs questions “Generating AI videos takes hundreds to thousands of times more compute and energy than answering a text-based research question. While a standard text query uses a few joules, a short five-second video clip can consume millions of joules—roughly 2,000 times more intensive.”

He can’t tell a prop from the real thing? This one OBVIOUSLY doesn’t have the height required for the blade to gain enough momentum to sever a head, geez 🙄 and here I thought these guys were smart
