Not sure @duckduckgo should be too cocky, since this is still the kind of default most of its users get... with the same issues as @Google #AI search.

The FORUM ep. 52 is coming this week!

Communities across America are demanding moratoriums on data centers.

Kevin O'Leary is backing a 40,000-acre project in drought-stricken Utah.

When residents pushed back on water and environmental concerns, he said the protesters were "bused in" and suggested China was behind the opposition.

Meanwhile, @nvidia just launched chips for orbital data centers in space. And is also helping put mini data centers on the side of people's houses.

In 2025 alone, local opposition delayed or cancelled data center projects totaling $156 billion.

Is the pushback legitimate or is it slowing down the infrastructure America actually needs to stay competitive?

Are giant centralized facilities even the right model anymore?

@YueKuratsu also: don't close the oven or fridge door or walk too fast down the stairs.

[Sean O'Brien @profdiggity]

@vikrantnyc IMO - now that privacy is on the menu across not just crypto but software in general, spyware + vaporware bots and sock puppets will be FUD'ing you. It's just anticompetitive crapola at best, three-letter agency cutouts at worst. I'm a bit surprised it took this long actually...

Had issues posting this earlier but we have #Android / @GrapheneOSpheneOS compatible builds any day now 🤞⏲️

Testing @GetPrivacySafe on our phones for months (see below). We'll also release via @fdroidorg but the RFP process takes a little while.

Email me if you want free sync service for 6 months (100% optional)

@craignewmark Let's chat, I have some ideas around this and @YalePrivacyLab :)
