slightly more seriously: lots of lemmy users came from reddit, but mostly from older demographic (because of old reddit phaseout) and more FOSS-oriented, privacy-aware, tech-literate part (because of API shitshow/alternative apps blockage). there’s some barrier to entry (choice of instance) that would filter off the least technical users. there are some prominent programming oriented fedi servers (programming.dev, infosec.exchange). lemmy in general seems to be more lefty than reddit, less americacentric, and i guess that over half are linux users. i suspect that because of combination of technical skill and older age (compared to reddit) lots of lemmitors have well paying technical jobs (again compared to reddit) which allows/requires them to live in nicer parts of their countries (not specifically cali)

fullsquare@awful.systemsto Technology@beehaw.org•Eric Schmidt apparently bought Relativity Space to put data centers in orbit17·3 months ago“People are planning 10 gigawatt data centers,” Schmidt said. "Gives you a sense of how big this crisis is. Many people think that the energy demand for our industry will go from 3 percent to 99 percent of total generation
I reasoned that the former Google executive might have bought Relativity Space as a means to support the development of data centers in space.
absolutely not peak of bubble type bullshit, please give microsoft-sized theranos more money, nothing weird or stupid is happening there
last time i’ve seen someone wanting to put compute in orbit it was cryptobros trying to avoid everyone’s jurisdiction, presumably to do some financial crimes there. turns out you can get away with this on earth, so it’s unnecessary
no, all people here are 30-40 years old communist programmers from california

if it’s permanently installed high power device, it only makes sense to wire it directly, like it’s done with ovens, and EV charger draws even more power. why there’s even plug on the way there? it’s not gonna be moved anyway. and while we’re at, why you people don’t have three phase circuits for big loads like this? standard euro five wire three phase 32A circuit (or plug) gets you 22kW, that plug tops off at 9kW
