This is the type of shit that made me walk away from Android and Google, not that Apple is any better per se, but I just can't ethically support Google anymore.

Sounds to me like those fossil fuel companies are using those new subsidies from the Trump regime to bribe other companies into switching. And since most tech companies only think of short term profit they're totally down to go with the option that gives them a discount. Tech companies get cheaper energy while the fossil fuel companies get to make more companies dependent on their product for longer. In the short term, these tech companies will make truckloads of money. But in the long term, not updating the infrastructure to the modern age and actually going backward will only doom them, especially on the global market.

Americans elected a fascist, extremist president and corporations cozying up to power are moving towards fascism and extremism to cozy up to power.
I am experiencing the least amount of shock possible.
Now, if Americans owned the monumental fuckup, that would be a surprise.
In other words, Marx was right.

The ghouls of capitalism will prop up, defend, and fund fascists until the end. They need to be firmly taxed and regulated if we are to have any chance. Even if, chances are increasingly fleeting.

Wow, Republican delusion lines up perfectly with big-business interests? weird.
Also weird that the "extreme" climate agenda has been calling for strengthening the power grid for decades.
Yeah like that was the point was to centralize everything on electric power so you can work on swapping out things like coal for more sustainable forms of electricity.
How that is a negative for data centers are some mental gymnastics I’m not willing to make.

We always knew all the bullshit about "going green, reducing carbon emissions bla bla" was greenwashing and PR but now we have some quotes to pull and throw on your faces if Trump ever goes, the wind changes direction and you pretend to care about the world again.

Google's fucked.
Ive actually notice this with gemini vs copilot vs chatgpt. Gemini had the most wierd bias and such and while I take everything with a grain of salt ai wise its more so with gemini. I think I use it the most though as I want to see what it will say about something.

It’s wild that “we’re cooked” started as straight meme terminology but now literally describes the future of the human race
