Nah that influencer is just chasing clout. He sucks. The flavor of the week is Flock, next week he'll find something else to grift about.

That has been my go to for a long time, but then you get people upset and demanding mods censor words and view points and of course advertisers pumping real money to people in exchange for hosting content. So it makes a mess of things :/

Paying the vendors is how the DNC grift works. The GoP can rely on ideology, but the DNC specifically exists to funnel donations to preferred vendors while maintaining plausible deniability.

I don't know, but I when I travel long distances for vacations and things like I try to take a train if it's available.

I like having a backup heating/cooking source in case of power outage, still far too common for me here in Chicago with the above ground power lines. I have electric space heaters and then of course my gas furnace and fireplace.

Ultimately the paradigm of mass shipping millions of tons of cargo across the ocean needs to stop if the environment is something that anyone wants to pretend to care about. As far as the cargo that is shipped, Cars are certainly the worst.

That's not why these datacenters are here. The various big cloud providers (AWS/Oracle/Microsoft/Google) are perfectly able to build datacenters in the US and they do! However with the downfall of US Hegemony and the distrust that has been growing and finally come to a head with the current administration, non-US industries have been demanding "sovereign" clouds where their customer data and compute etc, doesn't live in the US and so is more resistant to US warrants and sanctions. The cloud providers want these large, rich customers (petro states), and are more then happy to build datacenters outside of US Jurisdiction. The money still flows back to the US shareholders so they don't give a shit where the physical assets are actually located.

That said Iran blowing these things up is one of the most meaningful things it can do to resist the US and eventually force a retreat.

I'm so glad I quit facebook before any of the other services came out that apparently people "can't live without", and I'm perfectly content living in ignorance.
