Hear me out...

How do we know it wasn't a peaceful person leaving a hand written note begging for no more datacentres, when their nemesis, Dr Datacentre, drove past and started shooting at him?

The four boxes of liberty-

  1. Soap box
  2. ballot box
  3. jury box
  4. ammo box

We're at the last one because they've removed all the others.

[-] Janx@piefed.social 19 points 2 weeks ago

That's literally not true. The current administration is in power because 86 million eligible people didn't bother to vote.

If "Did Not Vote" had been a candidate:

Wait, did the shooter walk up to the house, politely place the note under the mat, then start blasting?

Or did they light the place up before dropping off the note?

Eco-terrorists do your thing. No one else will stop this stupid forward momentum on AI as it needs to suck in huge resources just so some dipshit can request porn comics.

Its almost like fucking over all of us with rolling blackouts , skyrocketing power bills, sucking up water, and creating heat islands would upset us. Oh and further enriching billionaires with stolen land. Wow. Weird.

[-] Soulphite@reddthat.com 47 points 2 weeks ago

The old delivery method for these kinds of ominous threatening notes was tied to a rock. This is new.

Isn't a bullet basically a very fast little rock if you think about it?

  1. nobody died

  2. cause is good

Verdict- Doesn't look like anything to me.

[-] LoafedBurrito@lemmy.world 36 points 2 weeks ago

No one leaves notes, it's not the 60's anymore. This looks like a inside job or a setup to paint anti data center people as violent people.

The reality is if you are FOR data centers, you are the problem and need to do more research. No one should be for any data centers to be built in this country, I wouldn't want to live near one. I also hate paying the electric bill for billionaires, they need to pony up all the money, they have plenty!

[-] Licksrocks@lemmy.world 14 points 2 weeks ago

I'm curious what you mean by "no data centers should be built in this country".

Almost everything on the Internet exists because a data center is hosting it.

If all of the data centers exist outside of the country, not only latency issues would arise but data security and availability concerns as well.

If there were no datacenters anywhere, the Internet would be a much slower, unreliable, and sparesly populated place.

[-] j5y7@sh.itjust.works 14 points 2 weeks ago

I miss the days of a much slower, unreliable and sparsely populated internet. That's when it was its best.

Fuck off with this shit. Normalizing political violence of any kind is not okay. It's all fun and games until they start shooting at the people you support, and that's a ratchet that tends to go only one way.

[-] Mac@mander.xyz 60 points 2 weeks ago

They already are

[-] liking625@lemmy.world 45 points 2 weeks ago

how about when elected politicians bend the knee to private interests, giving preference of basic resources like water or electricity to datacenters over their own cities? How are citizens supposed to react?

The fuck you talking about? They already are killing civilians under this ICE bullshit. Comply or get shot in the face.

[-] BeardededSquidward 24 points 2 weeks ago

They straight up executed Alex Pretti. He wasn't resisting, they were beating the shit out of him, then the guy just draws his gun, walks up to him, and puts rounds into him.

[-] Colonel_Panic_@eviltoast.org 17 points 2 weeks ago

"Comply" with 3 conflicting orders being screamed at you behind masks.

Get shot anyway.

[-] Sabata11792@ani.social 36 points 2 weeks ago

They already shoot people I support.

A thing I was wondering why haven't have happened already have happened.

Now I wonder when a terminal cancer patient will use their last strength to drive a fuel truck into a datacenter.

This honestly sounds like some half assed right wing flase flag shit. Paint everyone against datacenters as crazy and violent.

[-] droans@lemmy.world 13 points 2 weeks ago

I'm from Indy - no one is buying the story. The councilor is a complete tool who's hated by his own constituents and will be voted out. He's been caught multiple times making up shit like this just for attention.

Just a thought - if someone was this passionate against new AI data centers, why would they get an anti-data center flyer, put it in a plastic bag, leave it under his doormat, and then shoot up his door? If they're going to this much trouble, they want to stop the data centers. But they'd be relying on the councilor looking under his doormat and that his opinions wouldn't be hardened by this. Why wouldn't they try to kill the councilor, too? Why wouldn't they at least leave behind an actual threat?

What's much more likely is he either did this for attention or it was a drive-by shooting and he either put the flyer there himself or it just happened to already be on his porch.

It's nice they set the note on the ground, under their mat. Instead of on a rock, through their window.
