Surveillance data

 

If AI doesn't become super profitable, at least we'll have some big data centres to store and process government surveillance data? Underpants: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WpnM37A4P_8 Profit: https://stories.theconversation.com/can-australia-build-one-of-the-worlds-largest-data-centres/

GW data centre for Mamre Rd? (stories.theconversation.com)
 

Wondering what will become of the schools, college, retirement village across the road. They're already surrounded by industry. The article doesn't mention noise and vibration, which is the main complaint, apart from electricity costs, from neighbours of data centres in the US.

Get out your black paint, change ‘TO’ to ‘HOLE’. Job done. More speech, not censorship, right?

In defense of the ‘drunken sailors’ of Steam, many of the games they’ve bought are likely to still be playable for a long time, some were bought in half-yearly sales, and some were part of ‘bundles’ that were bought for a different game. The 30% also pays for the Content Delivery Network, marketing, a forum and sometimes moderation, and a genuine customer feedback mechanism. Who wouldn’t want to be part of an un-enshittified system? Fanboy? You bet. I’m not saying they can do no wrong, but they’re doing a lot right.

My friend said, “He’s so insane he must have lead pipes for plumbing.”

@sh.itjust.works Yes it does, whether you want it to or not

In Australia they’re now called ‘intentional communities’. That might help with searching. Some are religious but some are not. Quite a few are just science/sustainability based.
