Tech giants are building loads of hyperscale data centers to power generative AI. What happened to their climate pledges?

On #TechWontSaveUs, I spoke with @ketan to discuss the greenwashing of data centers and how they’re driving fossil fuel demand.

I love the work that #GadgetBridge does, but also very excited to see that the new #Pebble #Android app has finally been released under an #OpenSource license.

Next step: #FDroid or maybe @IzzyOnDroid?

NGL, despite living in Northern Canada, and despite most of my camera work being outdoors, winter's not my favourite season--photographically or otherwise. So dark. So cold. So many layers of clothing!

Still, I continue to try and find the beauty in all seasons, and step outside my comfort zone. I will never call myself a "cold-weather photographer," but photos like this remind me that it's worth it sometimes to bundle up and get outside!

Teaching young people that murdering innocent people because of their ethnicity or religion is the right way to prevent it from happening again.

And when they see it happen, they react.

Changing the horror of Holocaust and only making it about Judaism and Jews, will create an atmosphere where monsters like Netanyahu, Ben Gvir and other genocidal maniacs can hide their crimes behind the guilt of Holocaust.

World's smallest violin needed, again:

"OpenAI Loses Key Discovery Battle as It Cedes Ground to Authors in AI Lawsuits" —if found guilty of 'wilful" infringement OpenAI could be on the hook for up to $150,000 per work. (And circumstances don't look great for them—they appear to have destroyed lists of the copyrighted works they'd trained GPT on.)

Hier moet Bregman de BBC eigenlijk voor bedanken, veel gratis PR nu en de feitelijke boodschap die hij wilde overbrengen wordt nu overal herhaald, "Trump als meest openlijk corrupte VS-president"

There. I blogged it. It's real now.

@faraiwe Your attitude is the antithesis of caring about users. WOW.

Mehr als jede zweite Frau mit Behinderung (unfegähr 60 Prozent, bei gehörlosen Frauen sogar 75 Prozent) hat bereits körperliche Gewalt erlebt, gegenüber 35 Prozent der Frauen ohne Behinderungen.

Etwa jede dritte Frau mit Behinderung hat bereits sexualisierte Gewalt erlebt (bei gehörlosen Frauen sogar 43 Prozent). Das sind dreimal mehr Frauen mit Behinderung als Frauen ohne

Dehalb ist die Perspektive behinderter Frauen wichtig, wird aber zu wenig gehört.

Four bendy buses managed to enter a roundabout at the exact same time from four different directions in Oslo yesterday afternoon and get properly stuck, each bus blocking the exit for the one behind it. #BigBusStuck

You've been warned. Will you pay attention — or are you begging for the next, even WORSE pandemic?
