The pre-corona aviation growth rate was a real problem.
The data centre industry emits as much CO2 as aviation, see how far you get on here proposing that we need to do less computing, to save the planet!
- perfunctory 6y agoYes! We need to do less computing too. Much less. See, I said it.
- goatinaboat 6y agoWe need to do less computing too. I didn’t even mention the cost of desktop computing running all that shitty JavaScript. Probably at least as much CO2 again from just the ads.
- redisman 6y agoData centers are much easier to turn carbon neutral though. "Just" switch out the electricity provider. Flying with something other than jet fuel is more of an existential risk to the industry.
