Just finished Lanterns. Solid show that doesn't require watching other superhero media.

Just started Cyberpunk Edgerunners S2. I'm only 2 episodes in, but I'm digging it so far. There's a short monologue by the character Roman that definitely feels like it's a criticism of AI-generated content, which I quite enjoyed.

    China is secretly fueling America's data center rage in c/technology@lemmy.world
    [–] 9 points 6 days ago* (7 children)

    The original article is from Axios. They do point out that there's organic opposition, but the title is definitely sensational and arguably disinformation.

    Now, even if they actually are adding extra to the conversation, there's still plenty of people unhappy about data centers. If foreign bots were adding noise to the Cornell case, does that invalidate what happened to Jane Doe?

    We see the videos from town halls, we see the pictures of the water, we hear the recordings of the noise pollution. We see all the extra infrastructure that sometimes cuts through people's property.

    There are legitimate concerns that people want to be addressed.

    Telling someone to improve their privacy is like telling them to eat healthier. They probably know on some level that they should do better, but it's breaking habits. Changing their...everything is a daunting task on top of everything they actually want to do.

    It's a sales pitch, so I'd say sell them on one small lift at a time (Firefox, uBlock, DuckDuckGo) and build on them as they get comfortable with privacy control. Don't shame them, don't look down on them, don't be overly pushy.

    Big tobacco hooked us on ultra-processed foods. It might teach us how to cut back (www.npr.org)
     

    Back in the 1980s, tobacco giants began aggressively expanding into manufactured foods, buying up some of the biggest food firms. For example, Philip Morris used to own Kraft General Foods and RJ Reynolds owned Nabisco. This was the era when ultra-processed food production really ramped up in the U.S., Schmidt says.

    She says tobacco firms had spent decades amassing research on how to make cigarettes more pleasurable and addictive with chemical additives. And she says internal company records show they deliberately applied this knowledge to food manufacturing.

    you need this reminder (youtu.be)
     

    The Ricoh GR series has always been the sharpest, smallest, most expensive (and my favorite) point-and-shoot camera line, but with the GR IV Monochrome, the company put a dedicated monochrome sensor into its tiny body. And that changes everything~ you start to see contrast and light far more, and you can't rely on "pretty colors".

    It's limiting!

    Which is the opposite of what most tech aims to do these days. And I love it! But I won't be spending $2,200 on it... 'cause like who the hell has that much $$$ to drop on something that is just for fun? (if you do, hell yeah no shade, please enjoy the hell outta this camera a little extra 4me ❤️)Monochrome

    The camera pics do look great, but definitely too pricey for me. I did love Becca's discussion on using limitations to spur creativity.
