“We could identify it because it’s shit.” - researchers

A mighty fine collection you’ve got there. Never thought I’d be nostalgic for 2012, that’s for certain

People in America can’t even agree on voting for a pedo or not. What makes you think they could agree on a timezone?

You guys start work at 9?!

Holy shit I’d love to not be up at 5am every morning

Ahhh I gotcha, cheers for giving the PSA then

Wait until you hear about the facial recognition and expression reading cameras built into the fast food ‘order here’ screens

Exactly my point (scuse the lack of obvious sarcasm/rhetorical question)

Unfortunate lack of money in the “lets make the world a less shitty place” department

Oh nah no need to apologise, their products haven’t been good for decades. Merely making a point about how tech can be entirely hidden from the user

THE CEOS DONT

FTFY

Iphone SE’s didnt have face unlock but still use the IR camera to scan your face every second.

Just because you don’t use it doesn’t mean it’s not being used on you (apologies for breaking it to you)

They’re increasing GDP! Raising the price of copper by increasing demand

Unfathomably based.

Is the renewable energy industry known for its bribes and lobbying?

Because he’s owned by the oil lobby

“We conclude that most climate models mix heat too efficiently into the deep ocean and as a result underestimate the negative forcing by human-made aerosols. Aerosol climate forcing today is inferred to be −1.6 ± 0.3 W m−2, implying substantial aerosol indirect climate forcing via cloud changes. Continued failure to quantify the specific origins of this large forcing is untenable, as knowledge of changing aerosol effects is needed to understand future climate change. We conclude that recent slowdown of ocean heat uptake was caused by a delayed rebound effect from Mount Pinatubo aerosols and a deep prolonged solar minimum”

One explanation for it at least

“If?”

Because none of the pollution or impact of these datacenters will ever impact anybody else, the heat knows every single one of those rural americans is a fascist and will exclusively make their lives worse, leaving those civilised people that live in the cities unharmed. /s

Literally the same attitude as “I dont care about climate change, if the sea level rises I’ll be fine because I don’t live near the coast.”

On a related note why are you so bitter over people being annoyed by the enshittification of yet another small source of joy in this hell world?

Is this that sour grapes thing? Or do you have an issue with people using reaction gifs to convey a concept that’s either too convoluted or requires too much context to type out?

For example, this entire comment could have just been;
