Ist die Bundesregierung im Rechenzentrums-Wahn?

Der KI-Hype sorgt in DE für einen rasanten Neu- u. Ausbau von Rechenzentren. Wo und wie viele entstehen sollen, bleibt bisher intransparent. Das ändern wir mit unserer neuen Karte: https://heisseluft.org

Zusammen mit @fragdenstaat @HeisseLuft u. Leitmotiv zeigen wir, wo Rechenzentren entstehen, wie viel Energie sie benötigen werden, und wo hierfür neue Gaskraftwerke entstehen und der Ausbau von Rechenzentren zu Grundwasserstress führen könnte.

@errbufferoverfl I have learned a lot today! Never thought twice about laundry detergent except for the price per kg

this is just the start of a general attack on EU organisations...

@br00t4c

The political right has the same problem with speed limits and low emission zones they have with environmental legislation generally: the evidence is all on the side of stricter regulation. The simple fact is that such measures are working - they help make safer, healthier, happier children - with a future...

Here in Brittany, France, by the way, 30kpm (actually 19mph) is now the norm in every residential area, even the centres of small villages.

@sense That's a lovely empty view there :D

"Once the car became the American way of life, we essentially morphed into a series of car companies with a minor country problem."

A fantastic video on how cars took over and what we can do to get American biking again.

@GramrgednAngel similarly to the overnight oats - but less vegan - I'm doing an overnight greek yogurt with chia seeds, sultanas, almonds and walnuts. Very tasty.

Tim Curry is forever in my heart as the voice of Nigel, the patriarch of The Wild Thornberries:

but we owe him a debt of gratitude for developing Dr. Frank-n-furter during filming of The Rocky Horror Picture Show. that movie became my generation's salve from the #GOP’s genocidal neglect during the #AIDS pandemic.

he’s one of the ancestors now.

godspeed, Tim.

The Rocky Horror Picture Show at Film Forum will forever be in my heart as the place of resistance for all us #GenX queers and misfits during the genocidal Reagan-Bush years.

when they thought Black & Latine trans women & gay men were the only victims, Bush and Reagan said #AIDS victims deserved to die for being sins.

that’s why TRHPS was so important during that era. Tim rewrote that movie with his defiantly ambisexual performance. TRHPS taught us how to carve spaces of #LGBTQI resistance.

Fare enforcement is evil, IMHO, and has a climate impact by discouraging public transit use.

@dancingtreefrog

I don't think that we have condos (at least, I have not heard of them here).

And I have never heard of a home owners' association here. The first I heard of it as a thing at all was in the fediverse, and it sounds very weird to me.

We have "corporations", but whether they are quite the same thing, I have no idea!
