Das Bild zeigt eine ruhige, grüne Landschaft mit einem traditionellen, schiefgedeckten Haus im Hintergrund. Das Haus hat eine dunkle, möglicherweise schilfbetonte Dachdeckung und eine Fassade aus dunklem Material, vermutlich Ziegelstein. Es befindet sich in einem gepflegten Garten mit grünem Rasen und umgebenden Bäumen und Sträuchern. Im Vordergrund liegt ein Bein mit blauer Jeans und bunten Socken auf einem grauen, flachen Untergrund, vermutlich einem Liegestuhl oder einer Terrasse. Der Himmel ist blau mit weißen, flauschigen Wolken, was auf einen sonnigen Tag hinweist.

Efficiency is greatest form of waste
"Jon Ippolito, professor of new media at the University of Maine, said tech companies are constantly working to make chips and data centers more efficient, but that does not mean AI’s environmental impact will shrink. That’s because of a problem called the Jevons Paradox. “The cheaper resources get, the more we tend to use them,” he said. When cars replaced horses, he said, commute times didn’t shrink. We just traveled farther."

@efialto
True. It is a key failure that we can invent our way out of the problems we invented our way into. And that highly complex systems respond to super-simplistic technical solutions. We're going to solve CO2 with all this new tech. Not alone do we not solve CO2, we create a whole range of other problems.
We can keep on growing, keep on enjoying our conveniences, just change the energy source. The Growth Death Cult has all the easy answers.

This is crime against nature.
These bastards commit genocide against olive trees since the day they started occupying Palestine, but have gotten out of control since Netanyahu took power.
Israel is wiping Palestine off the map of the west bank, one olive tree at a time.

Israel wanted to punish a Palestinian village. So it destroyed 10,000 of its olive trees.
Israel uprooted 10,000 olive trees in al-Mughayyir during a three-day siege of the West Bank Palestinian village. The Israeli army stated that uprooting the trees was intended to “deter” village residents and make them “pay a heavy price.”Qassam Muaddi (Mondoweiss)

Das Bild zeigt einen runden Sticker mit einem beeindruckenden Design. Im Zentrum befindet sich eine beeindruckende Zeichnung einer Biene mit ausgebreiteten Flügeln. Die Biene trägt eine Krone mit mehreren Pfeilen und einen Schild mit der Aufschrift "GOD SAVE THE QUEEN". In ihrer einen Hand hält sie eine Blume, während sie mit der anderen Hand einen Revolver hält. Der Sticker ist in einem schwarzen Rahmen eingefasst und umgeben von einem Kreis aus Punkten. Um die Biene herum sind zwei Sätze Text in Großbuchstaben geschrieben: "BEE WILL ROCK YOU" oben und "KEIN HONIG FÜR NAZIS" unten. Der Sticker kombiniert Elemente von Rockmusik und politischer Botschaft, wobei die Biene als Symbol für Widerstand und Unabhängigkeit dient.

When two problems can lead to a solution:
Google essentially bricked my Pixel 4a by artificially borking the battery life. I had to get a new phone (not a Pixel 😂 )
Amazon has removed Tidal from the Fire Stick marketplace. I'm not about to start using Amazon Music or Spotify.
My Pixel is now sitting next to my TV, permanently wired. I connect it to my soundbar via Bluetooth and play music from my Tidal account on the phone.

in reply to chebra • • •@chebra the 5 million gallons is likely combining:
* direct water footprint for cooling
* indirect water footprint for power generation
* indirect water footprint for wastewater treatment (water used for cooling apparently has to be treated for unusual contaminants, biocides etc. to keep the tubes clean, using more water than the wastewater mass alone)
Edit: from iopscience.iop.org/article/10.… which I found cited for the '5 million' number in a washington post article
