    Sure, it’s about as small as it gets, at the cost of worker lives. Would it have become that much more bulky to give it at least minimal safety featues, like crumble zones, or doors that can be locked? No. It would however be more expensive for Bezos. He’d rather these workers die, than spend an additional bit of money to ensure their safety.

    It is possible to have good electrified last mile delivery, while not putting poor people in literal death boxes, it’s just going to hurt the billionaire’s profits.

    Okay, but what is pictured is a car sized vehicle that is going to be moving in traffic in the same place as cars, while simultaniously having fuckall safety features and no climate control. This is a fucking deathtrap, and just a new way to cut costs at the expense of working class lives. This is not progress, the is sacrificing people for the great capitalist overlords.




  • China has a very different climate and landmass. The reason these companies keep trying to make datacenters in places where they’ll use all the water the residents need to survive, is because those places are the cheapest to build and opperate. Land in the desert is dirt-cheap (lol). China doesn’t have to build in the desert to build on cheap land, and so can build pretty much whereever they feel like it, including where water and electricity isn’t an issue.

    Also, they’ve shown before that they don’t really have to give a shit about the lives of local residents. They probably (maybe) don’t want them to die, but relocation is always an option.

    In the end we probably don’t know wether people are pissed about it or not, since we don’t get a lot of news from rural China.

    I’ve been playing a lot of Project Diablo II lately. I don’t know exactly what they’ve done, but the graphics look like I remember them, but with proper widescreen and more fps. The team behind it have done an absolutely incredibly job.

    I generally dislike working at a shuffle. My work day is over much faster if I’m in a bit of a rush throughout. I don’t see it as me getting paid for a certain amount of work. I see it as me selling my time. Between 08:00 and 16:00, what I do during that time is up to my boss. I don’t own that time, in exchange I get my pay.

    I live in a country with actual workers rights though. Might make a difference.
