Did you know that Microsoft applied for a permit for a warehouse in southern Sweden - and once they had built the "warehouse" they declared they were going to host a datacenter there with diesel backup generators?

I mean, we hear this happening all the time and so let's hate on data centers, right?

The difference is that this is Sweden, and we don't accept that shit. They were not allowed to run their diesel generators, had to purchase battery power instead and in the end they closed the data center down since they couldn't win this fight.

That's how you deal with it.

(They are now using other datacenters in other locations in Sweden, fully compliant with the laws, with renewable energy and not using water for cooling as far as I can see)

we don't need net zero. we need degrowth. we need to manufacture less and use less energy. we need to find ways to support people fully with fewer resources

Schools closed, events cancelled, travel warnings, and lives lost.

This is the direct result of political choices made in our parliaments.

The cost of climate inaction is incalculable.

2026 TECH IS BAD

The software industry’s notion of simple is to make it easy to make things more complex.

Lots of posts by chefs talking about their sophisticated automated Rube Goldberg kitchens, not so many about what they’ve been cooking.

Seems like we've moved from bicycle of the mind to training wheels of the mind.

Hard to think of a more poignant expression of the state of affairs in the industry than the Joy of Coding conference taking a break this year.

excerpt of something I said on blusky that feels mastodony:

"I'm an easily bored programmer.
so spending three hours automating it is more fun than spending half an hour doing it manually"

We know we have posted this comic a couple of days ago. We're just curious what you prefer: *4 panels in one image* or *panel by panel" posts?

Which is why we should be very careful that we don't poison wells, and why "move fast and poison wells" is bad advice.

When someone poisons the well, whether through malice, greed or ignorance, it's poisoned for everyone, and can't easily be unpoisoned. That's sort of the thing with wells and poisoning.
