You know what happens when a datacenter full of computers gets blown up? Nothing. Nothing at all. A cat getting hit by a car or the mcdonalds shake machine being broken is a far greater tragedy.
Good
De-fragging going to become a very different job in the IT space
Cool. Legit target. Traffic with the military and get bombed.
Maybe one day we’ll destroy them all, then we can finally go outside again.
You can choose to stop using the internet at any time.
Does this include my self-hosting rig?
No, but if all datacenters ceased to exist, 95%+ of the internet would literally be gone. Including lemmy, for example.
At this point I’m OK with that.
you say that like it’s a bad thing?
Fucking idiots. Society would LITERALLY fucking collapse and you would fucking starve to death.
how old are you? do you remember life before the internet? lol.
I’m 51, kiddo. I grew up using cash and writing checks. And that world is gone.
If you kill all the datacenters, all those neat little cards in your pocket cease to function. And going to the bank won’t get you any money because they can’t interconnect anymore. Going to the grocery store and gas station will soon dry up even if you have cash because they can’t coordinate deliveries anymore.
This gets better and better.
That’s already happening from the endless CO2 use.
Oh please, fuck off. Wealth inequality kills far more, and all of those are problems, but internet disappearing (i.e. datacenters going away) would kill billions within weeks. Some people would survive, but it would be several orders of magnitude worse than any disaster that came before.
People are fucking ignorant and talking out their ass.
Yeah, and who do you think is more contributing to climate change?
Your privilege is showing. I honestly don’t care anymore. Any action that can threaten the status quo always has some shit coming out of the wood work claiming that more people are helped by the status quo than are being hurt. Don’t care anymore. I’ve heard every permutation of this discussion by now.
What you are talking about is a wildly fucking different conversation, so fuck off then.
Well get to it already, there are still so many that have yet to be destroyed.
