    Yeah I'm the same (not really into that type of posting). I basically want what Facebook once was, but with e2ee. Something like: you make a post, only people you've added can see it. They can comment, and if they choose, your friends can see that comment also. Something to prevent mass scraping and data collection, while retaining the 'keeping up with old aquitances' vibe old Facebook used to have.

    data centers and supercomputing facilities, which consume voracious amounts of electricity and water Memphis is on the Mississippi. Evaporating the volume of the Mississippi at Memphis with graphics cards would be a pretty impressive feat. kagis https://snoflo.org/flow/report/tennessee/ TENNESSEE FLOW REPORT August 22 2025 Streamflow levels across Tennessee are currently 92.0% of normal, with the Mississippi River At Memphis reporting the highest discharge in the state with 354000cfs 345,000 cubic feet of water per second is a pretty substantial amount of water. EDIT: Water has a heat of vaporization of 2.23 kJ/g. 345k ft³ water is 9.7×10⁹ cm³, so 9.7×10⁹g That's about 2.2×10¹⁰kJ to vaporize it (disregarding the specific heat of water, just the heat of vaporization). 1kJ ≈ 0.28 Wh. So 6,160,000,000 Wh to vaporize the water going through in a second. 3,600 seconds in an hour. So at a flow rate of 345k ft³ that'd sink about 22 trillion watts through vaporization alone. https://www.e-education.psu.edu/egee102/node/1925 In 2024, the world wide energy consumption was about 186,000 TWhs 8760 hours in a year. So global average power usage is about 21 TW. If we put the entire world's generated electricity towards heat to vaporize the Mississippi at Memphis, it'd still fall a bit short. EDIT2: I also inadvertently transposed two digits (should be 354,000 ft³/sec rather than 345,000 ft³/sec) in transcribing the initial flow rate, so it'd fall slightly shorter.

    Mate, everyone knows who he is. His wife was fired from her federal job over this. He gave an interview with his real name. The feds can know where basically anyone is if they want to. If taco ordered the secret service to carry out an assassination, very little could be practically done to stop them. No one has real protection against law enforcement. Right now they're still staying within lines in a half-assed manner so they don't get pushback from stale liberals and (sometimes) antiauthoritarian snowflake regressives.

    Never buy a tesla, Elon and any employee can just watch you, hell if they really wanted they could drive you into on coming traffic for the fun of it. Majority of those accidents were not.
