Data centers need electricity, utilities need years to build – who should pay?
Mobile service that doesn't know who you are: phreeli
Mobile service that doesn't know who you are: phreeli - Lemmy.World
New prepaid virtual network provider which doesn’t know anything about you except your zip code. This proves other telecoms could do it too. Cheapest plans currently start at 25/mo. So much more than minimalistic providers, but not outrageous.

Public AI: Free and Ethical AI models with Social good in mind - Lemmy.World
Found from Bruce Shneier’s blog [https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2025/12/like-social-media-ai-requires-difficult-choices.html]. This model is free, ad-free, privacy respecting, and likely to stay that way. If you or folks you know are heavily using GPT, and likely to be hurt when it starts introducing ads (and otherwise enshittifying) soon, do make sure they know there are alternatives like this. This particular chat model uses a system prompt chosen by the swiss government, with the intention of providing LLM access as a public utility (like a library). I believe models are intentionally trained on ethical datasets (see the details of Aptertus here [https://www.swiss-ai.org/apertus]), with an effort towards sustainable energy use.

YSK: the abolitionist history of pumpkin pie
YSK: the abolitionist history of pumpkin pie - Lemmy.World
YSK: there was a time when pumpkin pie was comparitively niche as fall holiday foods go. People would make sweet potatoe pie. However, it was essentially impossible to source sweet potatoes in the USA that were not made via slave labor, and so abolitionists pushed for an alternative: pumpkin pie. It’s interesting what boycotts and politics are baked into culture (and ovens), and how we forget about their origins.
