"'The Cloud' emits somewhere in the vicinity of 2% of the world's carbon - that's about the same as the airline industry - with Australian data centres ranked among the worst in the world."

So ... why is any organisation in Aotearoa *not* run by climate change ignorers still hosting online services offshore, especially in Oz? Including our government FFS!

I guess Goggle must be waging war on Free Code front-ends again. Both NewPipe and PipePipe have stopped being able to play YouTub videos on my Android, sometime in the last 24 hours. At least Invidio.us was still working on my laptop last night, and is working in my mobile browser for now.

Sara's Costume Codex series does a thoughtful, sex positive critique of 7 of 9's costume in Voyager. Focusing on whether it suits her character, or the show's themes, or contributes to its worldbuilding;

"It's not great to be objectifying anybody. Unless of course it serves the story. I don't think there's a clear line here. More of a spectrum, as with most things."

The great thing about YouTub is that when it comes to web video, it's got pretty much everything. The biggest problem with YouTub is that it's got pretty much everything, and most of it is puerile garbage, AI slop, and ads disguised as "content". Or in some cases, all 3 in 1 video.

It's like a backyard pool after a party for spoilt trust fund kids. Full of lukewarm vomit and bits of poo, but with the occasional gem in there if you can be bothered to sieve it out.

Current interests include #videogames, #MagicTheGathering, #TTRPGs, #WebVideo, #musicals, and #jazz. I'm on an interesting physical and mental health journey, I love traveling, and my spouse and I are #foodies who like to cook at home.

I'm interested in chatting with the people on this server because as a #newcomer to Canada, I'd like to make friends as an adult... which is SUPER hard. Do you want to be friends or at least acquaintances? Ask me a question; I'll tell you no lies.

Watching Cold Crash Pictures defence of Gone With the Wind, as a pointed satire of confederate apologetics (part 2);

It occurs to me that we could be seeing a reworking of the history depicted, on a larger geographical canvas. Let me unpack that a bit.
