    Cities asking residents to use less power is largely due to the fact that most cities have no direct policy power to regulate electricity use. Electricity use is primarily the domain of state/provider policy. Cities asking residents to lower power usage is thereby an ask for residents to collectively work to avoid brown/black out situations for the collective good. Messaging like this without a similar ask to the tech/industrial community would still be short sighted at best.

      Yeah we just found out (we as a city knew, just without confirmation) who the ‘mystery’ business is that’s building a server farm on the outskirts of city limits. And they’ve got a 10 year tax break from the city on the land.

      I’ll turn my AC down when google turns their Power Plans to Eco for those servers

    Who’s out here censoring tits? The OP? That’s dumb, you can swear on the internet.

    Someone else? Maybe go get a fresh screenshot.

    I miss the internet where we tricked our friends into looking at a picture of a man’s gaping asshole with zero consequences instead of the one where you have to put a little manual strike through “tits” just in case somewhere an algorithm will autoban you for it.

    Honestly who keeps doing that crap because things aren’t that locked down fuck sake.
