If your aim is to do as much damage as possible with your missile or drone, a data center is a solid choice of target.
It’s hard to mourn for them.
It really is. Like even if it inconveniences me, it’s worth it
Datacenters are not just for AI.
This is potentially worse than you’d immediately think. Literally everything that exists in “the cloud” is in a datacenter and is not exclusively AI. Remember when AWS went down and half the internet went down with it? Now imagine the datacenters actually got destroyed and it wasn’t just a software bug. Imagine if the datacenters went down for your bank account or healthcare provider. Sure this is only happening in the Middle East at the moment, but as we’ve been learning more and more these days, if it can happen “over there” it can happen here too. Wherever “here” may be, this can affect you.
ETA: Added some words.
Good, fuck AWS. We shouldn’t be that dependent on Amazon. Fuck Amazon.
I pray that every single data center containing every single cloud based system is turned to ash.
I want their systems of control and oppression to wither into dust.
I do not want to live my life the way that it is now. I want for the insanity of 3000000000 accounts, all with my detailed personal info, circling about on the internet to end.
There is a better way to organize the internet and by Zeus if we have to burn the internet and the financial world to do it, THEN LET US.
Computer hardware prices go brrrrrrr
Damn if the data centers get blown up how will I make shitty pictures of dogs wearing hats?
Almost all websites are running on servers in datacenters. You lose fun stuff, but you lose Lemmy instances, you bank goes down, commerce goes down, wikipedia goes down, most of the internet goes offline.
Offline is okay, you say? Not when banks can’t move money because it’s down. Not when stores can’t sell anything and you can’t pay by cards or get gas or groceries, and stores can’t restock because trucking.
People really need to be educated about what datacenters are and aren’t, because far too many people think they’re just for AI or just for a few things.
Modern society depends heavily upon them.
You underestimate how much of a
mood a lot of Lemmy users are in.
Looks like it’s about time I started downloading a copy of Wikipedia, then…
It’s not bad if you skip the images :)
Even through the most basic thought experiment assured these things were always going to be militarized.
