They can’t spend that fucking money on making this shit in a way that’s compliant instead?
Replying to @Skullgrid@lemmy.world
Yeah, if data centers used solar power, batteries, and cooling that doesn’t waste water, I think communities wouldn’t mind (as much).
Replying to @Zachariah@lemmy.world
If I had fucking 280 billion and wanted to build the world’s biggest data center right fucking now, you bet your ass I’d buy out the entire production chain of renewables infrastructure and get fucking even richer for the next 50 years as I use the stuff at the start to make the data center, then the rest to charge the local population for green energy, and to spend the rest of the supply chain after to sell more green energy production stuff.

If you had 280 billion, you wouldn’t give two hot shits about destroying the world.
Replying to @modus@lemmy.world
Not really, I keep up with the news and want to achieve nice things.
Replying to @Skullgrid@lemmy.world
That’s why you don’t have 280 billion.
Replying to @zqps@sh.itjust.works
Well, you can help change that.
