¡Take Action, 6 and 7 of November!

#StopDirtyDataCenters

Data centres across Europe are set to triple in the next 10 years.

This November, we're taking action to protect our climate, democracy and future from rapid data centre development.

We want to know: Who really benefits from data centres?

How can we make sure that date centres serves properly to the people and the plante, not private profit?

Until then, we are calling to stop dirty data centres.

We are going to have our days of action, 6 and 7 november.

Several countries are joining forces as Denmark, England, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Poland, Scotland, Spain, The Neetherlands...

My work develop things like that. You spend time filling in a form, but can't click OK because of a wrong or missing entry. You can't even swap window to check in another part of the app. So your efforts are lost. Give me a "Save as Draft" button at least.

@Migueldeicaza Maybe you can use ContiguousArray instead of Array in some places; its `.span` does back-deploy.

@bart Because SNCF (which owns Eurostar) is a mess, and Eurostar is an awful super costly service.

@mario has more opinions on this

More than 30 senior Tories named in new #Covid #PPE ‘VIP lane’ records - https://democracyforsale.substack.com/p/revealed-more-than-30-senior-tories "Full details of ‘politically connected’ fast track lane for lucrative PPE contracts released after Democracy for Sale reporter's five-year legal battle."

What anyone can do to oppose fascism is go out and simply be kind to other people. But what if I'm an introvert and don't wanna?

@RogerBW "An individual messed up" (vs "An individual was actively malicious") is inherently an attempt to avoid institutional responsibility

@felixte @d1 @varia Not strictly on Reticulum as a protocol, but on practices of digital infrastructure owned, administered, and maintained by local communities (neighbourhoods, villages, etc.)

In the Binance version of reality where compromise happened via a developer laptop:

1) Was this laptop running an appropriate EDR? If so, how did it remain compromised and active for so long?
2) If it wasn't, why was it in such a privileged position that it could trigger this outcome?

The point of entry may have been a single developer's laptop, but the fact that a single developer's laptop *could* be the point of entry is a systemic failure, not an individual one

Fans across the world mourn the passing of a true and irreplaceable legend. As Captain Jean-Luc Picard, Patrick Stewart took the starship Enterprise to places it had never gone before, and he inspired a whole next generation of star-gazers who looked longingly ahead to a brighter future for all humanity. Our hearts are heavy, indeed. Rest in the heavens, Captain.

@WizardOfDocs @Nezchan So far I have watched Jimmy, Martyn and Mumbo. This is my first time watching a series as it goes out and I am super invested

I wonder if Anthropic loudly and unambiguously hand-wringing that it's not going to be able to burn enough fossil fuels is going to discourage climate orgs from buying obscenely expensive Claude subscriptions

@neil they don't like shell scripts either, everything has to be .bat

This would seem to support my suspicion that the real play with all these datacentres and artificial scarcity of computer hardware is to steal the means of computing from people and instead make them dependent on centralized, cloud based, subscription model serfitude.

@gabboman Sorry I missed the joke 🫣 It seems a lot of sharing has ended up in private groups now, or on Telegram.
