"Great Lakes states like Michigan risk overtaxing water supplies by rushing to woo hyperscale data centers without closely analyzing whether local aquifers and water utilities canfulfill the facilities’ massive water demands."

Report: States like Michigan ‘simply not prepared’ for data center water demand

The report from the regional Alliance for the Great Lakes warned states risk overtaxing water supplies if they rush to woo the computing facilities without closely studying whether aquifers and water utilities can handle the new use.

Last night I came home very late and very intoxicated. When I arrived at home, my wife was waiting for me.

"Where have you been?" she demanded.

"I don't know," I said, "but it had red velvet wallpaper and gold plated urinals." Then I passed out. As I laid there on the floor, my wife became curious about where I might have been.

So she started making phone calls to some of the local bars. "Hello, Charlie Clarks."

"Hi, I have a question for you. Does your establishment have red velvet wallpaper?"

"No, ma'am, we don't."

"OK, thanks."

She called another.

"Good evening,

Ted's Brass Tap."

"Hi, does your bar have red velvet wallpaper?"

"Why yes, we do."

"Do you have gold plated urinals?" "Ha ha, sorry, but no."

"All right, thank you."

She decided to try one more.

"Norton's Corner."

"Do you have red velvet wallpaper?"

"We do."

"How about gold plated urinals?"

There was a pause. Then, in the background, my wife heard someone say, "Hey, Charlie...I think we found the guy who peed in your saxophone.”

Coffee is such a fickle mistress, some days I make a carafe and I have a delicious beverage full of all those fruity flavour notes the packaging told me about, while other days, with the same coffee and water, I make a carafe and I end up with a cup of hot brown full of bitterness and not much else and wonder whether I should just develop a crippling monster addiction instead

Guess what you anonymous coward, “both sides”-ing a genocide is genocide denial.

And genocide denial is complicity in genocide.

Linux Is Best @Linux@mstdn.ca 21/08/2025, 10:17 Replying to @aral BLOCKED. Real news doesn't take sides in war reporting. War is ugly. Awful things are done by all sides. A credible source shows the truth on every side, not just the one that fits a certain narrative. Take the conflict between Israel and Palestine, for example. It has lasted decades. If a news outlet always portrays one side as righteous and the other as evil — that's not real journalism. Both sides have committed atrocities, and real news should say that. BBC News does just that. Not surprising, they upset, both sides (Israel and Palestine). Do you know what I think about that? GOOD. It means they're doing their job.

One that the UK – for which the BBC is the propaganda channel – is complicit in.

This person would have declared all Nazi rags to be "neutral" while German Nazis were committing Holocaust in the past

So called "neutrality" & bothsiding by ignoring real world power imbalance between all/both sides is how Western colonial, imperial & genocidal propaganda passed off itself as so called "objective journalism"

Western so called "journalism"(Most sophisticated psyop) spins establishment narratives as so called "objectivity" in reporting

"The cuts have severely impacted community kitchens run by local women-led organizations, which in turn have undermined communities’ opportunities to support themselves. And as resources shrink, the risk of sexual exploitation, abuse, and harassment is rising."

Gonna try to get my art setup running on my Linux Mint laptop tomorrow. If this works for real, I'm one step closer to ditching Windows for good.

I got Clipstudio running with Bottles, though not without some issues, like the launcher not working correctly. Gotta get my Cintiq and Wacom remote up too.
If this doesn't work, I have no idea what I'm supposed to do.
I've tried programs like Gimp and Krita, and they just don't feel right for me.

I need a new laptop soon (8gb just doesn't cut it anymore), would be nice if I could just install Mint right away...

Probably gonna get a new laptop sooner than I thought (thinking of Thinkpad T14, any experiences?)

Will see if I can get the setup to run anyway, but the thing is I really need a stable Cintiq/CSP setup in a month's time for an event, so I'll probably just get my new laptop and do the event with as little worry as possible.

But once that's over, I hope to go back to Linux and start messing around with VMs to see if that can be a solution for me.

A word of caution about #DNS4EU.

Even if the service is operated in the #EU, and is sold to the public as progress for European "#sovereignty"; and even as you may celebrate its offering of "free protection" from #malware, #phishing and undesirable #advertising: Take a look at the 2022 tender document for the project.

Right from the start, it was clearly stated that the DNS entries will be censored:

»Lawful filtering: Filtering of URLs leading to illegal content based on legal requirements applicable in the EU or in national jurisdictions (e.g. based on court orders), in full compliance with EU rules.« (p. 15)

Now think of European countries that have very peculiar opinions about #LGBTQ+ rights, #copyright, etc.

What do you think will be enabled by a clause like »or in national jurisdictions (e.g. based on court orders)«?

It's not just an upcoming commercialization of the service that should worry you.

‘We've given up on #Israel’: Disillusioned with #Netanyahu and the war in #Gaza, Israelis are fleeing

france24.com/en/middle-east/20…

Israel has seen emigration double since the attacks of October 7, 2023, and the subsequent war in Gaza. While some are choosing to leave for security reasons, among those choosing exile are peace activists weary of war and feeling increasingly isolated amid their country's illiberal drift.
"I no longer felt safe. I felt like the climate made it very easy to attack left-wing protesters like us, even if they were Israeli citizens," he recalls.
Mordechai now lives with his wife and two sons, ages 9 and 10, in #Greece, one of the top destinations for emigrating Israelis, with tens of thousands of them making a home there. As immigrants to Greece, “in #Athens we are isolated,” he says. “But at least people are not openly hostile.”
