Wait, what..? Something both the #Left and #Right can agree on?!! Maybe the right is waking up to #CorporateColonialism! Good! Our #CorporateOverlords take advantage of everyone!
#Datacenter opponents stage 142 #protests across 42 US states
Story by Valerie Volcovici and Lisa Baertlein, July 18, 2026
Excerpt: "Opponents of the rapid buildout of #datacenters held 142 protests across 42 states on Saturday in the first nationwide effort to channel anger at the #AI infrastructure expansion that has ramped up over the past year and roiled local politics.
"The protests were coordinated by #HumansFirst, co-founded by a former leader of the modern-day #TeaParty. She compares growing opposition to data centers to the right-wing populist movement that emerged in 2009 to protest what it saw as excessive taxation and government overreach.
"Protesters rallied against what HumansFirst calls the 'unaccountable' buildout of #datacenters and 'unacceptable infringement on our liberty.'
"In #FredericksburgVA, one young man carried a sign reading, 'We thrive on water not data.' In #AtlantaGA, a small knot of protesters wielded signs reading, '#Georgia never voted for #hyperscale #AIDatacenters. ' "

Opponents of #datacentre expansion held 142 #protests across 42 US states, organised by #HumansFirst. The protests, which drew a mixed turnout, were driven by concerns over #waterusage, #environmentalimpact, and lack of #transparency in the development process. The issue has united Americans across ideological lines, with only a third supporting the current pace of data centre construction. https://www.reuters.com/business/retail-consumer/us-data-center-protests-go-national-backlash-grows-2026-07-18/?eicker.news #tech #media #news

I see more and more docs are being added, in free software repositories, that are meant to be read by LLMs rather than humans. Shouldn't LLMs simulate human language ? So why should we need to specifically address them ? I'd rather not do that !

Ah yes, another groundbreaking revelation: websites are indeed for humans, not the squirrels that secretly run the internet. 🐿️ The author bravely navigates through a maze of cat videos and AI paranoia, pondering the mysteries of Instagram while accidentally stumbling upon the obvious. 🙄 So avant-garde, so #IndieWeb. 🌐

@tante I'd love to help with this, although I doubt we'd be able to roll back decades of bad press for the original Luddites. #HumansFirst ?

I need #help. I need to get a grassroots org fired up to oppose the right-wing Christians orgs meddeling with our politics and endangering our #trans and #lgbtq children, and our province as a whole.
I operate webservers, and can quickly mobilise webapps, websites, produce graphics...
I need to reach regular people, and I want to do it off corporate social media as much as possible. I need suggestions, templates, etc.

CW: musings on mastodon
I suspect that one of the things that makes Mastodon feel like an echo of the Internet I remember before Facebook is that everyone I see on here is a human being. No brands, no bots, no machine-generated ”content” clogging up the pipes. I’m sure all of those things are coming with popularity, but I have some hope that running my own instance gives me a chance to keep that noise under control.
