If a data center shows up near you, chances are you live in the United States. According to new data, more than half of upcoming global data centers are being built here, and they’re not just more numerous, they’re bigger, hungrier, and far more demanding of energy. Meanwhile, China’s growth remains partly invisible, not because it isn’t happening, but because much of it never shows up in public datasets.
This creates a quiet imbalance. The U.S. becomes the world’s digital engine room while its power grid, built for decades of flat demand, is suddenly asked to grow again. The real constraint isn’t land or capital, it’s electricity delivered at the right time.
The next phase of computing won’t be limited by chips. It will be limited by whether we can teach data centers to be flexible neighbors instead of constant power gluttons.
TL;DR
🧠 Over half of new data centers are in the U.S.
⚡ American facilities consume far more power
🎓 China’s growth is likely undercounted
🔍 Grid flexibility may decide what scales

Linux__Community Idea: Desktop Mode via USB-C Video Out
What if your Jolla phone could transform into a full Linux desktop? By leveraging Phosh, KDE Plasma, or GNOME, we could make this a reality—no need to reinvent the wheel.
Introducing the Jolla Sailors initiative:
A community-driven program where contributors help fund and guide development. Think of it as a crew of supporters: developers, testers, and enthusiasts: working together to bring Desktop Mode of other new future OS updates to life.
Jolla Sailors replaces the Sailfish Subscription, offering early access to new software, exclusive discounts, and a referral program; earning you savings on hardware and accessories.
Want to help shape the future? Join the crew! (This is a concept idea)

Brian SiegelwaxWhat’s a “cluster”? Oak Ridge National Laboratory has installed the presumably-first on-premises commercial quantum computer cluster, consisting of 3 quantum dragons... I mean computers... from Quantum Brilliance, and that could mean a few different things. So, I asked for clarification.
