This is the way. Unless the profits from data centers return to communities, it's just extraction.
And data centers don't really bring that many jobs. They're a few guys replacing parts as stuff burns out. Maintenance on power feeds. But mostly they sit there, trying to stay cool.

New study assesses geoengineering marine ecosystem risks, knowledge gaps
Science has made it clear: The prospect of heat waves without end, increasingly destructive floods, relentless drought, rapidly rising sea levels, and the risk of “point of no return” tipping points require humanity to swiftly stop burning fossil fuels to avoid catastrophe.

something I didn't need for a Sunday morning: my #Ubuntu 25.10 media machine will no longer login via gdm3 since the last upgrade, I can use a console to run gnome-shell -wayland without issue, but the gdm3 (even re-installed) just returns to the list of users and after the first attempt will no longer offer to enter passwords and hangs.
I did inadvertently leave my keyboard unlocked and two cats in the house left unattended, but it was logged into the guest account, so I doubt they did this 😅

Early this month, a single pen stroke effectively ended representative
Steve Cohen’s career in Congress.
The man who has represented Memphis for 19 years will turn 77 later this month,

He hadn’t lost any primary.
The reason was that his district had been erased around him.
A new electoral map, passed by the Republican-led state legislature and signed by Bill Lee, the governor,
divides the ninth district three wa…
