Eaton, the company known for their data center electrical products and golf club grips, made a coloring book about data centers. You absolutely do not know what's coming.

"Setting aside the moral arguments---"

You mean the power and water.

"Setting aside the power and water, and---"

Don't forget the industrial-scale plagiarism. The brazen theft.

"Setting aside the copyright fuckery, the power and water, and---"

Don't forget the maniacal, suicidal inflation of the bubble. Arguably the greatest single mis-allocation of resources in history, aside from war.

"Setting aside the financial madness, the copyright fuckery, the power and water, and---"

Don't forget the willful destruction of creative livelihoods, the willful destruction of education itself.

"Setting aside the destruction of art, writing, and schools, the financial madness, the copyright fuckery, the power and water, and---"

Don't forget the purposeful degradation of human cognitive capacity. The planned and designed addictive dependency.

"Setting aside the cognitive degradation, the destruction of schools, the financial madness, the copyright fuckery, the power and water, and---"

Don't forget the ghoulish ethical camouflage used to obscure, indeed to erase, the responsibility for decisions in budget austerity, insurance claims, regulatory oversight, medical decisions, court filings, and even real-time combat.

"Setting aside the monstrous mechanisms of official irresponsibility, the cognitive degradation, the schools, the financial madness, the copyright fuckery, the power and water---"

Are you going to say it doesn't work?

"IT DOES NOT FUCKING WORK"

@mekkaokereke I feel weird tagging them in, but all three authors are present here in the fediverse, too.

@mekkaokereke I'll keep beating the drum for Catherynne Valente's Space Opera. It's fun and lighthearted softer sci-fi, a bit like Hitchhiker's Guide had a one-night stand with Eurovision.

There's also Martha Wells' excellent Murderbot Diaries series. Lots of heavy themes in a very enjoyable read.

John Scalzi's Old Man's War and Interdependancy series were both good reads and he's always demonstrated very, very little tolerance for the bigots and chuds.

@Viss @stux Don't forget the massive suppression efforts for unenrolling voters and moving people between polling places.

Not to mention automatic disqualification under the Fourteenth Amendment that John Roberts decided doesn't apply to Donald Jesus Trump.

@smeg @dalias Hold on, I've got to boil a swimming pool to generate a shocked face pic with too many teeth.
I'm no @iFixit guru. But an hour ago I realized my first gen Boox Palma had developed a swelling battery. Now I'm an hour smarter and confident the repairability score is "No/10".

I don't understand why "don't give my words to a billionaire's plagiarism machine" is so hard to understand. These are my words; I am sharing them with you. I am intentionally not sharing them with rich dipshits and their meaning-mulchers. I do not consent to an LLM consuming my thoughts, past, present, or future. Using one of the various planet-burners on my thoughts is explicitly against my will.

@TheBreadmonkey Everyone loves a happy ending.
