News
Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

They’re in fuck around mode, they’ll eventually find out how it works.
Probably. This can get dangerous.
Their plan is: they fuck around, and let the rest of us find out.
Our lack of drinking water is a sacrifice they are willing to make.
I’m talking about when aquifers don’t refill, their data centers can’t operate, the cattle have long since died of dehydration, and Midwest is a dust bowl again. The US hasn’t had anything close to an African level drought/famine, starving and thirsty masses get real nasty.
True but I think we will suffer more
People blow their minds, They choose to resign, This deformed society is part of a design, It'll never go away, It's in the cards that way, The masses of humanity have always, Always had to suffer
Bad Religion, Suffer, title track 1988
😒 yeah. We are, we will. I’ve known that since before I found a song that summed my feelings up a half generation before I could.
But also, knowing it’s coming, knowing what it will entail, knowing it’s probably going to suck… what are we up to to limit that?
We probably will. That's how it always works.
They take all the risks, we pay the consequences for those risks.
we are just missing the plague of locusts that africa and ME has. ours went extinct apparently, because we destroyed thier habitat.
Agreed. Different environments, different “plagues”. I’ve never seen grasshoppers hit that threshold where they go locust mode, but I’ve seen Anabrus simplex (Mormon crickets) so thick they turn modern highways into slip’n’slides.
I think a lot of them know, they are just hoping to cash out before the find out phase.
I think it's easy regulation, just require a zero-evaporation closed-loop design. I don't know why this isn't a federal requirement.
Because the regime in charge doesn't give a fuck about the environment. They don't care whether or not we have a drought, if we all drown in flood waters, or if we're dying in a heat wave. You're asking for regulation from the deregulation kings.
I’d be all for closed-loop data centers if I believed the people building them were building them for the advancement of humanity and best use of resources in mind.
