@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.

20 years ago, normal people avoided technology and techies would jump on the newest gadgets as soon as they could.
Now, normal people buy smart toasters & coffee mugs while every techie I know is on the verge of retreating to the forest

Just a reminder that AI detectors don't work. You don't fix one broken machine with another.
