To win over locals, data centers pump $340M into rural Texas projects
The companies have faced waves of public backlash in Texas. To battle that negative public perception, they’ve donated millions to community causes and needs.

Hey, did you hear the news? All my life, Ive been hearing stories about the true size of Africa. About how it was intentionally shrunken on maps, while other countries were made bigger. Well, they voted on it today, & ONLY ONE country voted against it. The US www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/9/...

Furthermore, China’s rolling out a 2-layer system: solar panels on the surface for electricity, with fish, shrimp & crabs farmed underneath. It’s called Fishery-Photovoltaic Complementary (FPC) — floating PV integrated with aquaculture. Energy + food. Same footprint. That’s how you #Bettrify. ⚡🌞🐟

Paris Marx, the Canadian host of the Tech Won’t Save Us” podcast and a longtime critic of U.S. big tech companies, has been documenting his gradual — and sometimes frustrating — switch to non-U.S. alternatives. His guide lists mostly European options for email, search, maps and streaming, as well as Zoho, an Indian company that offers products similar to Google at cheaper prices.

The new Mozilla CEO says he could block ad blockers in Firefox and estimates that it would bring in another $150 million, but he doesn't want to do that. Lmao. This guy has really lost the plot. Is he issuing threats to the users of an open source project? Boy, what a disaster
Is Mozilla trying hard to kill itself?

17 de dezembro de 2025

In an interview with “The Verge”, the new Mozilla CEO, Enzor-DeMeo, IMHO hints that axing adblockers is something that, at the very least, was on the table in some form and at some point. From the article:

"He says he could begin to block ad blockers in Firefox and estimates that’d bring in another $150 million, but he doesn’t want to do that. It feels off-mission."

It may be just me, but I read this as “I don't want to 😜 😜 but I'll kill AdBlockers in Firefox for buckerinos 😂”. This disappoints and saddens me a lot, and I hope I'm wrong.

Meta's promise "that it’s adding ads to WhatsApp with privacy in mind does not make me trust this new feature,” EFF’s Lena Cohen told @fastcompany.com. “Ads that are targeted based on your personal data are a privacy nightmare, no matter what app they’re on.”

The company says personal messages will remain private, but critics warn the data used for ad targeting could still put user privacy at risk.

I refuse to give the NYT my eyeballs, so I can't speak to the specifics of this article. But any historians attempting to use AI for either writing or research should be run out of the field. AI is inherently unable to do anything we need it to do to understand and communicate history.
