Heaven forbid anyone think I am amused or feel any schadenfreude for the robber tech-bros (formerly known as robber barons).

And two wrongs don't make a right. Just because AI data centers stole copyrighted material to feed their models it doesn't make heroes out of the data center copper thieves.

I do not condone criminal activity, but it's more profitable for the thieves than targeting residential homes.

@tecHunt@mastodon.social in Tucson, we started something called ByFusion. They take the non-recyclable plastic and turn it into plastic bricks. Not sure if you’d call it upcycling, but it will help get some plastics out of the environment. It can only be a transition away from reducing the production of plastics. I suppose you could do a Cask of Amontillado scenario with the litterbugs and the ByFusion bricks.

A story in two acts:

Left pic: me when I thought recycling would save the world

Right pic: me after I found out that plastic corporations invented plastic recycling to put the responsibility onto the consumer even though they knew plastic recycling was both chemically and financially not feasible, and now I have plastic in my brain, lungs and testicles

#plastics #recycling #microplastics

@Daojoan I had some pretty good pancakes in Australia. I think the term I heard there to call someone like that is a dickhead.

The reason why we haven't found intelligent alien life or it hasn't found us is that there may be a Great Filter that civlizations reach and they don't become space faring or interstellar communicators. Who knew that having a Donald Trump could be that Great Filter?
