@nsmsn@social.lol I know blaming datacenters for AI is popular, but romanticizing their physical destruction is incredibly reductionist.
@neatnik@social.lol Re-posting this while operating social.lol and omg.lol out of Hetzner and DigitalOcean is a glaring contradiction. The services you build and operate are sitting in the exact same buildings this sticker is targeting.
I would also point out that there are people at the extremes who take this stuff literally, and there are real, working-class people inside.

@null@puddle.town Brother. It is a *sticker*. And it’s also obvious satire. I own a sticker that says “may the bridges we burn light the way” and I don’t think it’s advocating for actual arson. It’s just art. The datacenter sticker is social commentary. And it’s valid social commentary, in my view. There’s a vast difference between Hetzner’s Datapark and the torrent of new datacenter projects popping up near residential areas solely because of artificial demand tied to AI. @nsmsn@social.lol
