A text I wrote on data centres for Reuters' "Context":

Decisions about digital infrastructure go beyond the simple questions of where to build and how. They have to do with more fundamental issues. Are projects such as the metaverse worth building data centres consuming vast amounts of electricity on our warming planet? The European Commission’s spent €387,000 to throw a poorly attended dance party for avatars in the Metaverse. Is this the digital connectivity we want?

Adam Tooze was the mini-king of Twitter with all my friends sharing his stuff. And at least so far it seems Cory Doctorow is the mini-king of Mastodon. As soon as I log in, I get a (usually great) essay by him or someone quoting him...

No escape from #Elon! while everyone (me included) is leaving Elon's #Twitter, the talk of the day in Bulgaria is that he will visit the Belogradchik Rocks in the Balkan mountains. We all truly hope he won't buy them as well....
on the positive side: maybe he will forget his Mars ambitions and just stay in the Balkans. He will fit great with our politicians <3
