@gerrymcgovern I've had tech bros in my replies saying data center water usage is "a nonsense stat" because the evaporated water "goes right back into the water cycle" qoto.org/@LouisIngenthron/1122

So much wrong with that sort of thinking. Water used by a DC is not available locally. Evaporated water will not stay local. DC water is wastewater with toxins and must be treated. Evaporation system leave major crud waste behind them.

It's hard to have to educate tech bros, who think they know everything, on really basic things.

@gerrymcgovern @zrb so, eh, fuck tech bros? Let’s not post to educate those unwilling or unable to learn. I’m just happy (in a sad way) somebody brought this to our attention, and just another reason to refuse anything from the chatty Great Pile of Trash and its fraggly friends.

@avuko @gerrymcgovern @zrb lol, the trash pile was pretty wise in FR, IIRC. It's a very generous comparison for LLMs

@johnefrancis @gerrymcgovern @zrb 😂

You are right, I also remember it as a wise… creature(?).
But I could not resist.
