When it comes to total water use, AI data centers are a drop in the bucket in c/technology@beehaw.org
[–] VITecNet@programming.dev 4 points 1 month ago

That kind of concentrated water use can put severe strain on local infrastructure and water supplies, and has led to at least one situation where a data center siphoned millions of gallons from local sources without initially paying. The local impacts can be especially severe in areas that are already water-stressed; a 2025 Business Insider report found that 40 percent of planned and existing data centers in the US are in areas with “high” or “extremely high” water scarcity, as measured by the World Resources Institute.

To me, getting banned from Reddit (without being a dick) it's a medal of honor. Guess I'll have to try harder...

TOR browser User Agent in Linux increases fingerprinting (programming.dev)
 

I usually use Tor Browser to scan files online for viruses, which I then send to Windows users (I use Linux) if they are clean.

Lately, I've noticed that the User Agent in TOR is showing up as Linux, when it used to show up as Windows.

Is this a problem with my system or a change made by the TOR team? The fact that Linux has far fewer users increases fingerprinting.

What can I do in other Linux distros that I can't do in Linux Mint Xfce? in c/linux@lemmy.ml

Already posted here in Lemmy. State of Nova Launcher (August 9, 2024)

I'm Kevin Barry, the original creator and primary developer of Nova Launcher. (...) This week Branch parted ways with some employees, including people involved with Nova. (...) However, I've always been the lead and primary contributor to Nova Launcher and that hasn't changed. I will continue to control the direction and development of Nova Launcher.
