You addressed nothing I said/asked. Have a nice day!

So you’re limiting the scope of your analysis to this report only? Where does it mention water usage by housing built in Austin over the past two years?

You’re comfortable making those comparisons and concluding how significant the water usage is but you’re unwilling to check the context of the data in the report? Not sure I follow.

Lincoln data center "comes online" in 2026 (info from Google). These are early, non-mature operating numbers. I'm disappointed this wasn't made more clear in the story and, of course, most of the comments here don't understand the context.

Not a meaningful amount of water in early reporting from a non-mature operating state. Why are we drawing any conclusions at this point?

Hey, I appreciate your advocacy for a good idea.

Fair take, but I'm not seeing anything that makes me buy that rosy theory over Meta just doing PR to get adoption in the dev community.

Services are back up for me.

I'm looking at Fastmail for email. For other stuff, not sure yet. I've seen folks recommend Nextcloud. I'm similarly dreading moving my files/backups.

Same, considering switching after this for sure.

Can't access anything this morning. This is getting a bit silly.

Same issue today? Been down for a few hours.
