@aral Thank you Aral! Sorry I was just too late seeing this. Got a few proofreaders and I just published and sent it... 😊

@fasterandworse Haha, I'll wait at least an hour as I always do when I've been especially angry while writing.
@mrundkvist Excellent point.
@Mer__edith @camillefrancois
This conversation is just amazing. So clear, obvious, and with quotable nuggets every two minutes. The clarity with which you express yourselves is inspirational and encouraging.
”Dig where you stand”. Thank you.
@cybeardjm This all makes me so sad. Somebody sent me that job tip and for a moment I was excited about the idea of working on something human rights-related and then looking closer it's just very off-putting.
@cybeardjm
Right!
The reason I'm asking is because they have recently announced a consultancy position and one of the assignments is to:
"Provide focused design support to the ongoing pilot in Burundi for the development of solution to improve blockchain-based financial inclusion tool. "
This could of course be unrelated to the other crypto project.

@m Haha, love it! 😁
@carl_klitscher I mean, this must be one of those down periods where it's recommended to invest heavily. 🤪
@enron Thank you! This has been my reasoning as well, but it’s nice to hear the same thinking from others. 🙏
@cristinah düster, aber ähnliche Gedanken sind mir durch den Kopf gegangen

> How? You can't "consume" water in the sense you consume energy. Why can't they just reuse the same water?
Data centres consume water directly for cooling, in some cases 57% sourced from potable water, and indirectly through the water requirements of non-renewable electricity generation.
Water used for cooling evaporates, and data centres do not have systems in place to capture that. Water is too cheap. Groundwater depletion is a thing, and data centres compete with farming and with local communities.

>> 80% of content in data centres could be stuff we never use again, stored by default to consume energy in perpetuity
> How? Doesn't data stored on hard drives only use energy when it's accessed?
A hard drive that is powered on consumes electricity. The more hard drives you buy and power on, the more electricity is consumed.

@meriksson Japp, jag har förstått det som att det försvunnit massor av loggar.
@nyx Haha, yes, CC is certainly a favorite in the "adopted but lost" terminology/abbreviations.
@hula Tack! Blev uppmärksammad om den där bara en kvart innan du la ut den. 😁
@Mabande @thecontinent Yes, that would be fantastic.
@cholling I mean, you said it first. 😜
@usmanz I doubt that it's trying to. I have my own install(s) of Ghost on my own VPS. It's more akin to early Wordpress.
