Hi blog writers: You don’t have to attach a unique image to every blog post, and you *certainly* don’t need to use #AI to generate an image for every blog post. You may think AI-generated images make your posts more attractive, but you are mistaken; they are doing the opposite: they make your posts more *repulsive* to a good number of potential readers. If I see an AI-generated image in the preview, I won’t click through to read your post, I won’t boost the post that mentions your post, and I certainly won’t read the rest of your blog.
@ozzelot sorry, sorry, I got bored and frustrated again

Quoth the Raven, "Be careful with that cable, it's carrying 48 volts"

@mattround (we had a medium sized datacentre for quite a long while by the A46, but it was hella expensive to run/maintain and wasn't anywhere near Big Datacentre in scale terms or power requirements. still quite loud locally, still hyper-local annoyances vs jobs balances to make)
@mattround closed-loop renewables requirement for power and water, rather than grid.
you want a datacentre, sure thing, but it's going to need to be energy and water neutral from the outset.
need 100MW and 3billion litres of water? not a problem. your site now includes a tidal/solar/wind farm for power, lotsa batteries for in-fill and sag, plus a reservoir.
that alone will make either MS-style underwater container farms A Thing again, or more remote/cheaper areas being flooded with infra.

Is anyone running a matchmaking service to pair recently-retired programmers with open source projects that need maintainers?
@hailey yours is quiet though?
@hailey what music did you have on?
also, if musician: do you 'hear' a piece differently if you've played it vs only ever listened to it?

GitHub programmer ports playable Doom to DSLR camera with 3-inch TFT LCD display — Canon EOS 550D with open-source Magic Lantern firmware uses camera's button as controls, even plays sound
A developer posted their Doom port for the Canon EOS 550D on GitHub. The game uses the Magic Lantern firmware add-on to run on the camera, and uses various camera buttons to play the game directly from the SD card.

spoiler for the joke
Apparently almost nobody got this pun. Perhaps it was too subtle.
Moving from the right of the origin to the origin simplifies the x position, as well as simplifying the exposition.
