| techtrights-sec6 | the city council approved the ksa/ccp/fsb data center and now it goes forward to | May 12 19:30 |
| techtrights-sec6 | the national level for a rubber stamp | May 12 19:30 |
| techtrights-sec6 | Not even the constructon will bring any local jobs. corrupt dumb fucks | May 12 19:30 |
| techtrights-sec6 | the competency for the building and the networking are absent from the region | May 12 19:30 |
| techtrights-sec6 | so they will be brought in and since the companies are foreign , they'll bring | May 12 19:30 |
| techtrights-sec6 | in foreign workers who will be in the country too short a time to be eligible to | May 12 19:30 |
| techtrights-sec6 | pay Finnish taxes. | May 12 19:30 |
| techtrights-sec6 | Also KDE plasma is not working out, the system does not recover from sleep and has to | May 12 19:30 |
| techtrights-sec6 | be powercycled to get it moving again . That means logging into eveyrthing again and | May 12 19:30 |
| techtrights-sec6 | losing 20 minutes. I'll try a day more but then will probably have to move back to | May 12 19:30 |
| techtrights-sec6 | Linux Nint tomorrow afternoon unless I can't get Links done becaause of KDE | May 12 19:30 |
| techtrights-sec6 | The data ceter will mean that the local school will be too far inside the noise zone | May 12 19:30 |
| techtrights-sec6 | to be allowed to stay open, buyt the same people who push the data center want that | May 12 19:30 |
| techtrights-sec6 | school closed so it will be effectively *given* to one of their friends. | May 12 19:30 |
| schestowitz-pi | correction: people everywhere love lies | May 12 19:33 |
| schestowitz-pi | playing advocate: many of the probs you talked about this morning | May 12 19:33 |
| schestowitz-pi | (riane agrees) | May 12 19:33 |
| schestowitz-pi | seem unbiversal | May 12 19:33 |
| schestowitz-pi | this is Planet Earth 2025 | May 12 19:33 |
| schestowitz-pi | "NOBODY LEAVES!" | May 12 19:33 |
| schestowitz-pi | Fight back or get used to it | May 12 19:33 |
| techtrights-sec6 | A little investigation today, via phone calls, showed that lots of bald faced lies | May 12 19:34 |
| techtrights-sec6 | regarding the nature of the center have been eagerly spread. People here love lies | May 12 19:34 |
| techtrights-sec6 | both to hear them and say them. It is a difficult aspect. Back when I was working, | May 12 19:34 |
| techtrights-sec6 | 90% of the staff and all of the administration *hated* the few of us who worked to | May 12 19:34 |
| techtrights-sec6 | stick to facts. | May 12 19:34 |
| techtrights-sec6 | Many more, because the dickheads are many. | May 12 19:34 |
| techtrights-sec6 | Fuckers. | May 12 19:34 |
| schestowitz-pi | phonecallllls you made suggest you DO FIGHT BACK | May 12 19:36 |
| schestowitz-pi | and we need more people to do the same | May 12 19:36 |
| schestowitz-pi | no point moving to be honst | May 12 19:36 |
| schestowitz-pi | but | May 12 19:36 |
| schestowitz-pi | 1) i don' | May 12 19:36 |
| schestowitz-pi | t know | May 12 19:36 |
| schestowitz-pi | and 2) i forgot... see above in scrollback | May 12 19:36 |
| schestowitz-pi | my experience is, moving is a HUGE job | May 12 19:36 |
| schestowitz-pi | decades to settle in | May 12 19:36 |
| schestowitz-pi | unless same city | May 12 19:36 |
| schestowitz-pi | then it's "less" | May 12 19:36 |
| schestowitz-pi | but still a apin | May 12 19:36 |
| schestowitz-pi | *pain | May 12 19:36 |
| techtrights-sec6 | I hate moving and was it was just starting to look like I was settling in. | May 12 19:37 |
| techtrights-sec6 | Not a single one of the claimed benefits was even remotely true. Even cursory | May 12 19:37 |
| techtrights-sec6 | investigation not only debunked them as lies but showed that the opposite is true. | May 12 19:37 |
| techtrights-sec6 | But people vote as a block with thieir highschool buddies and cousins who all lie to | May 12 19:37 |
| techtrights-sec6 | each other. | May 12 19:37 |
| techtrights-sec6 | Moving *is* a huge job, but now it is just a matter of when, not if. | May 12 19:37 |
| techtrights-sec6 | Several of the necsessary preconditions to staying here indefinitely are either lacking | May 12 19:37 |
| techtrights-sec6 | or have been removed. | May 12 19:37 |
| techtrights-sec6 | There's no longer the choice of staying long term up here. | May 12 19:38 |
| schestowitz-pi | i'd say pause or suspend judgement till another 30 days | May 12 19:39 |
| schestowitz-pi | even if it trook years already | May 12 19:39 |
| schestowitz-pi | maybe anger plays a role | May 12 19:39 |
| schestowitz-pi | (that's what i'd do) | May 12 19:39 |
| techtrights-sec6 | It's not like the decision makers up here in the province are even competwtent enough | May 12 19:39 |
| techtrights-sec6 | to see the possibility of the damage they have been causing for decades. | May 12 19:39 |
| techtrights-sec6 | No. | May 12 19:39 |
| schestowitz-pi | i will tell you re manchester | May 12 19:42 |
| schestowitz-pi | people research opriospectiver changes | May 12 19:42 |
| schestowitz-pi | like, | May 12 19:42 |
| schestowitz-pi | some people try to sell the home when across the roooooooooooooooooooooooooooad they plan or already start a home | May 12 19:42 |
| schestowitz-pi | that wiiiiiiiiiill ruin the view | May 12 19:42 |
| schestowitz-pi | but that does not help | May 12 19:42 |
| schestowitz-pi | peeeeeeeeople don't shell out mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmoney without checking | May 12 19:42 |
| schestowitz-pi | they might visit asnd like | May 12 19:42 |
| schestowitz-pi | or commit | May 12 19:42 |
| schestowitz-pi | but then they do nore checks | May 12 19:42 |
| schestowitz-pi | so the real killer is the moment the contractor puts in a big and gets it | May 12 19:42 |
| techtrights-sec6 | Once the federal level rubber stamps the plans, the construction will start in short order | May 12 19:43 |
| techtrights-sec6 | that'l give us a couple of years, but then the longer we wait the lower the resale value | May 12 19:43 |
| techtrights-sec6 | of the house. If US datacenters are antyihng to go by we'll have at least 60dB of noise | May 12 19:43 |
| techtrights-sec6 | indoors 24/7 amongthe other prooblens. | May 12 19:43 |
| schestowitz-pi | sounds like yiour serene area is already marked as iundustrial zone-iwsh (or near it) | May 12 19:43 |
| techtrights-sec6 | Yes, and that has already happened. | May 12 19:44 |
| techtrights-sec6 | The national level could, in theory, veto the plans but the odds of that are laughably | May 12 19:44 |
| techtrights-sec6 | low. Yes, it was supposed to be a water conswrvation zone, but it has been used for | May 12 19:44 |
| techtrights-sec6 | (illegal) industry for decades, leaking oils, fuels, and other liquid chemicals into | May 12 19:44 |
| techtrights-sec6 | the water table. | May 12 19:44 |
| schestowitz-pi | my view/taste (cannot speak for rianne) | May 12 19:46 |
| schestowitz-pi | a) apartment in shitty city zone (been there, done that) | May 12 19:46 |
| schestowitz-pi | b) remote but close | May 12 19:46 |
| schestowitz-pi | c) remote "remote" (need car/bus) | May 12 19:46 |
| schestowitz-pi | d) very remote like forest | May 12 19:46 |
| schestowitz-pi | \ | May 12 19:46 |
| schestowitz-pi | we have (b) atm | May 12 19:46 |
| schestowitz-pi | the downside tends to be, not cheap | May 12 19:46 |
| schestowitz-pi | at least we have the birds now | May 12 19:46 |
