Amazon strategised about keeping its datacentres’ full water use secret, leaked document shows https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2025/oct/25/amazon-datacentres-water-use-disclosure #Environment #Technology #E-commerce #Internet #Amazon
I have such amazing reading this weekend - borrowed #Enshittification by @pluralistic via my local library. The case studies of #Google and #Amazon are on point & disturbing. Hoping to see mention of #Mastodon &/or the #Activitypub protocol at some point 👀😆
Got the ARC #Murderbot new book by @marthawells , Platform Decay. As much as I dislike the TV series, so far this installment is just as wry & funny as the book series so I'm in a super relieved, grateful place🧵 1/?

The list of donors released by the #WhiteHouse includes the usual deep-pocketed #Republicans, such as #casino magnate #MiriamAdelson & private-equity mogul #StephenSchwarzman, but also a host of companies whose leaders have huge incentives to maintain good relations with an often vindictive head of state. They include #telecom giants & the #railroad giant Union-Pacific—which needs the #Trump admin’s sign-off on a proposed $85 billion merger with Norfolk Southern.
Then there’s the #tech companies — #Google, #Apple, #Microsoft, #Amazon, & #Meta.
The tech companies themselves have been awfully quiet about the project they’re helping to underwrite. Just to make sure they hadn’t missed it, MJ sent a photo of the demolished #EastWing — & requests for comment — to representatives of all of these companies. A Microsoft spox confirmed the company had made a contribution but offered no further comment. None of the others responded.

Please, I beg you, if you still shop on Amazon, read this article and then maybe reconsider.
Maybe you thought it couldn't possibly be as bad as everyone has told you.
You're right. It's worse.
