I'm starting to feel like some of you guys don't actually have that good a grasp of what a data center is or what it does
"We need to get rid of data centers" says the tumblr user who has a career doing gig work via cloud apps
Well, I know pretty well what a data center is, and you are wrong.
You don't need data centers to serve Tumblr. Or your gps maps. And for sure not to use a gig jobs app.
You need a server, indeed. That server is basically a computer that needs to be somewhere with a good internet connection. If the site or app has a lot of usage, you may need several of them, rarely more than the lower two figures. That's it.
"the internet we know" doesn't rely on data centers. Data centers, as we know nowadays, basically were invented by Amazon, who started selling them "as a service" maybe 15 years ago. Before that, companies used to, well, have their own servers. Often in their own office buildings. Sometimes in MUCH smaller facilities dedicated to host servers.
But the modern concept of data server? That is needed mostly for data mining and selling processing power as a service, so shitty startups can try to invent the next torment Nexus without needing to hire people who actually know how to work with physical servers nor spending big money on hardware.
But most of the apps and websites you use everyday? Any shitty laptop could very well be used as their server and support a couple of hundred concurrent users without breaking a sweat.
Honestly, they are just needed for the worst parts of the internet.
Favourite parts of this post:
Read "gig jobs using cloud apps" and thought I meant Uber Eats
Unironic Torment Nexus reference in a serious discourse post in 2026
Implication that companies running their own data servers locally is a more energy efficient model than renting cloud VMs
"The Internet you know could run off of your laptop"; ??? 80+% of all user Internet traffic is HD video streaming via YouTube, Netflix and Tiktok etc - no, you don't get to dismiss that in the tags! The average Internet user watches almost two hours of such footage per day. Each of these services is shifting anywhere up to an exabyte of data daily, and literally all of this traffic is processed via data centers and routed over services hosted on the cloud. Like buddy, what the actual fuck are you talking about
At this point the primary function of the Internet is to serve streamed video and to a lesser extent other multimedia content. Like, that is just what the system is now.
Sure you can say it's a blight on society and we should dismantle the internet as experienced by its six billion strong global userbase, but if you think that you should say that outright instead of pretending you could swap that out for a Dell laptop running bulletin board software in the basement and that nobody would notice
I do think this is true - by and large the way that our understanding of âthe internetâ is currently set up there is just no way to go back to predominantly on-prem servers (and, god, trust me I do not want to do that lmao). I work for a company that has âan exabyte of extremely sensitive data and it would be incalculably more expensive (for basically everyone in the US) if we were to maintain on prem servers. Like, itâs just not feasible.
That said! My perception is there is a material uptick in the goal of new data-center construction as an investment in LLM compute (of course, this may be nothing more than a perception), which is the specific use-case that I donât personally agree comes out on the right side of the cost-benefit analysis environmentally speaking*because* of the datacenters which are built as a response to VC-based demand, as opposed to consumer-based: ie AWS saying wow our ec2 reserved instances are such a high percentage of our total actual compute usage, it would really behoove us to have some more physical servers to avoid Insufficient Capacity errors.
Allegedly - according to McKinsey, in 2025 the workloads for data centers were pretty split; approx 50/50 between standard web-hosting (predominantly video delivery, I assume) tasks and whatever they define as an âAI Workload.â My understanding is they mean both inference and training task loads. They do predict this will swing in favor of AI workloads in the next few years. That seems true to me, but maybe theyâre wrong, who knows. But again, this trend isnât fundamentally usage-focused. This is compute spent that people *believe* will get them a solid ROI.
I, and many people who donât pause to acknowledge the obvious need we have of *some* level of data center, donât necessarily agree with the idea that weâre going anywhere good with this or that we should continue down the path weâre on. If half of data center usage is already focused on LLM development, and only going up - then being anti data center and anti LLM arenât, like, terribly disconnected, due to - you know - their intrinsic link within the zeitgeist.
TMEs think "inclusive misogyny" against trans women is funny because they don't think trans women are women who experience systemic misogyny
isn't it so crazy how tmes love ""trans inclusive misogyny"" and see it as something hilarious and gender affirming but suddenly when it's trans inclusive ""misandry"" it's not funny at all
i have for a while been using stepping on somebody's toes as a metaphor for misgendering. and i genuinely think that it's kind of a good one.
if you keep stepping on somebody's toes for a long time at minimum they're probably going to start really hating you and at maximum you might cause them lasting damage.
if you do it on purpose you're a dick. if it's on accident but you keep doing it that person is still going to be mad at you because you don't care enough to try not to step on their toes
if you give a grovelling begging apology after accidentally stepping on somebody's toes one time you're going to make the whole thing awkward, but not giving a quick "sorry" before moving on is still kind of rude.

why do so many freaks go right to âthere should be exams or tests before you have kidsâ when the real solution is better social services, robust infant and child development education that is accessible both financially and schedule/distance accommodating, and resources throughout any stage of a childâs life. genuine question like did you think about any social development before going straight to eugenics
Okay

I wish it were more common to have "bilingual" stories. By that i mean stories where it's important that 2 or more languages are spoken throughout. There isn't any translation, there's just multiple languages spoken by the characters. I understand why this is seldom done considering how heavily limiting it is to the number of people who can actually read or watch it. But idk I think the world would be better off with some stories like that.
Kind of a kids book tbh but The Grief Keeper expects the reader to have at least a cursory ability to interpret Spanish text. Itâs not particularly complex and is mostly one sentence at a time but the content is usually (iirc) not explained in engâlish.
I hate keeping the reblogs on on my posts about feminism because TERFs love to hijack them. No, I do not believe in your bioessentialist bullshit. No, I do not think your chromosomes determine what personality you will have and your inherent capacity for evil. I am a man and I am highly critical of men, I think men are misogynistic because they are taught to be by society and I think more and more men are radicalized in feedback loops by their peers in the manosphere and down the alt-right pipeline, I do not think testosterone or their assigned gender at birth is what makes men do harm, I think that is a cop out that removes personal responsibility. It is the same âboys will be boysâ bullshit that got us here. I think trans men are men and I think we are capable of being misogynistic and I think it is important to hold each other accountable.
Your idea of feminism is unproductive, regressive and fundamentally useless. You will try to twist my intersectional feminism to fit within your extremely flawed and dangerous framework and you will fail. Trans women are women, trans men are men. Block me and make your own goddamn twisted versions of my takes if you want but get the hell off my posts.
To clarify my comment on misogynistic trans men, I do not think trans men are âmore misogynistic than the general publicâ nor to I think trans masculine identity is rooted in misogyny, as TERFs like to insinuate. I have been a member of the trans community since I was 14, I lived through the anti-SJW era. There are some (not all, not most) trans men who pivot sharply to misogyny because we live in a patriarchal society that tells men that they are inherently better than women and they must continue to oppress women. It is something they do because many men loudly insist chauvinism is a component of male identity. Like I said, trans men are men, there is a feedback loop, misogyny is not an inherent feature.
And also, I address my fellow trans men more often because I know I have a large trans masculine following and like I said, I think it is important for men to push back against the misogynistic rhetoric spread by other men (especially online in todayâs digital age) and try to stop this feedback loop.

If you have ever written the phrase âpunkrockâ in a tumblr post you have been blocked because yall donât use that to MEAN anything itâs just things that you like. Next youâll be telling me guys with their own name tattooed on their chest are shoegaze. Having an osteoporosis diagnosis is low key bluegrass. Like youâre going to have to offer me a little bit more than that. You donât even know what you mean, how am I supposed to figure it out
the first movie was deff better this one feels rlly all over the place well more than the first one atleast
In total fairness to the movie (which is unnecessary) the second act of wicked is known to be materially less good than the first half even in the stage production so like. When you think abt it theyâre kinda just bringing Stephen Schwartzâ vision to life.
today is the last saturday of 2012. reblog now or go @#!*% yourself because you won't get this chance ever again.
if someone is cultivating an endless publication of 'crimes' (I'll say especially sexual crimes) with the only criteria being the demographic who committed them, you need to know that is wildly fascist behavior.
people who do this never care enough to vet whether any of it is real and you should assume most or all of it is bullshit, but it is important to stress that even if someone could ensure with 100% certainty that every single instance of sexual violence listed actually occurred in exactly the way they presented it, the fact that they are choosing to present these accounts only because of what demographic committed them means that it functionally exists as propaganda against a demographic. it is incontestably a tactic for manufacturing consent for violence against a group of people.
people who give a fuck about survivors of sexual violence care about the survivors. they might (for example) make a project elevating experiences by survivors of a given demographic (which is what transfemvoicesproject did) no matter who their aggressors were.
Okay so I try not to do ai discourse because like ultimately I mostly just donât want to be involved in the conversation at all,, but this was too ridiculous and I simply have to blog to no one about it. But Iâm putting it under the break because itâs kind of a wall of text and if you donât care then you donât have to scroll past it lmao.

the wizard of oz sam joke in the ben-lisa-colton msn episode being "let us joke that this man doesn't have a penis because that would be soo humiliating but it's ok because it doesn't actually apply to him" was really disheartening and is a great reminder of how unbearable it can be to be around cis people who don't care to examine their transphobia :)
