Technology@lemmy.world•Data centers could account for up to 9% of Texas water use by 2040, UT Austin report findsEnglish
4·8 days agoDoes the livestock figure include the water being used to grow their feed? Probably not because of course there’s no guarantee that their feed is Texas sourced. But there are just SO many examples of already too dry places having astronomical amounts of water given (read: stolen legally) to farm stupidly water intensive crops that are only good for feeding livestock like alfalfa.

My understanding is that they’re withholding part of their source code (which is forbidden by AGPLv3 as described in the article) so that they can keep lock people with their devices into their cloud services (and of course corresponding subscription fees, privacy nightmares, etc.), rather than having the printers able to receive files and print them themselves.
