I think AI is the sticker price justification for big tech’s power spending but the underlying reason is that our grid sucks and we’ve spent decades tearing down and tearing apart (literally and rhetorically) the technology that can get us to a green future. We’re going to need a lot more power.

While AI companies are allowed to slurp everything they want, Quad9 warns that legal fees are drowning DNS resolvers, which are now being targeted by copyright owners to enforce blocks on piracy sites

When he’s not leading the senate democrats into a hard fold, Chuck Schumer is apparently lobbying hard to remove protected bike infrastructure on his street lol

there is simply no way Chuck Schumer can be allowed to lead the democrats in the senate anymore. This is fucking ridiculous.

topgrade is such a nice little tool. unfortunately there are 0 docs and its nix support is kind of half broken and to get it working I had to spend half an hour reading the rust source code and trying random shit lol

In 2018, then-Mayor Ada Colau called Barcelona’s new 30% inclusionary housing requirement for projects over 600m^2 a “paradigm shift,” making housing “a right and not a commodity.” It was supposed to produce 330 affordable units a year. The reality: just 31 affordable apartments in all these years.
Cuando se ha aprobó esta medida dije repetidamente que iba a ser un fracaso y que no construirían nada de vivienda asequible. Se ha probado en mil sitios y no funciona.

La reserva del 30% solo ha generado 31 nuevas viviendas protegidas en siete años en Barcelona
Otros 123 pisos disponen de licencia ya aprobada, mientras los gremios afectados reclaman un marco legal estable para poder despertar al sector de su letargo
