Microsoft is still who vetted and hired the contractor and who selected the location.
And yeah. Past CEOs of Microsoft have continued to be shitty. They're who's responsible for what's going on. I just wanted to talk about the ways white knight philanthropy doesn't help, it just perpetuates colonialism, and Bill Gates+Microsoft have always been in lock step in this regard.
The point is the true villain here is colonialism
So construction waste is a subcategory of industrial waste. Typical industrial waste includes toxic materials like excess cement, fiberglass, bits of plastic from wires and cables. But once the data center is in place, most likely the waste will be e-waste in nature. Think heavy metals, copper, and yet more plastic. And the thing is... This is why they're putting this data center here. Disposing of this toxic waste will be cheaper because it's less regulated. The long term cost of high tech industries like this to neo-colonialized communities like this is the communities themselves. It doesn't matter to Microsoft they're making the water undrinkable. They don't have to live there.
And realize, too. Bill Gates' philanthropic missions aren't accidents. He may not run the show at Microsoft anymore but he still benefits greatly from their business. His philanthropic efforts aren't about making the lives of people who are exploited better. They're about maintaining that cheap form of labor just a little bit longer. And that may not be Bill Gates' actual intention, but the fact of the matter is he's a billionaire. He could make much larger changes in the world by not being a billionaire. He has power and influence to do things the rest of us can't, but instead of treating the illness he treats the symptoms. His actions sustain the system he benefits from

Lionir is talking about API implementations for everything to go off a single CSS file or a single icon pack. Not about the implementation of your personal desired aesthetic (I refuse to use the term rice, it has origins in racist car and motorcycle culture)

Legitimately! Early Metallica was all about liberatory politics. Then it turned into center-right american politics. The kinds of dudes who really have hard-ons for how great the status quo is.
Hey good news. Turns out you can use bing and not get back Reddit results
They don't care about traffic. They care about the existing barrel of data for the data models
Oh. Sorry. Didn't realize risking bodily injury from tear gas, rubber bullets, beanbags, and nightsticks because something fucking matters was cowardly. You bring up such eloquent and well reasoned points. I'll keep them in mind the next time the police are kettling me or a Nazi throws a brick at one of my friends. I'll say to myself "you know. We probably deserved this for being so cowardly"
I think the issue is that this marketing consultant didn't build anything. They just prompted an LLM to generate output
