Surreal centers too.

What about mama centers?
Wow. That’s a helluva typo
Dada center
Like, ce n’est pas un centre de données? Is it just full of DuChamp paintings?
We could do with fewer data centres and more dada centres, bringing avant-garde artistic provocation to every community to shake the people out of their complacency.
Dada? Absurdist art, like an andalusian dog?
Dada as in Idi Amin Dada, I assume?
I mean, it fits, what with the human rights abuses and whatnot...
People at REAL dada centers want to eat a clock, recite the alphabet then become fish.
Just curious, what are they offering to the renters, the homeless, and the unemployed?
Dada Center, LOL.
Anyway, on the one hand, fuck 'em. On the other, extracting community value from any industry is the only way it can possibly work, and data centers don't provide long-term employment in any reasonable number, so it needs to be taxes and other more direct aid.
The local residents and their governments "just" (that word's doing a lot of heavy lifting, I know) need to hold them over a barrel until they get enough to truly make it worthwhile. Making the tech industry pay their fair share would also suppress the number of datacenters down to what actually matches the realistic demand estimates. What we're seeing right now is undercapitalized bullshit trying to externalize the costs and retain the profits.
Easy to say, hard to do so, so I guess what it comes down to is this: fuck 'em.
Corporations shouldn’t be permitted to donate money to the community services of their choice. They should be substantially taxed and elected officials should fulfill the expectations of residents. We all know they’ll buy the politicians too so it’s just a pipe dream.
Citizen dossiers need storage uh I mean MEMES. Think of the memes you can make with all this power. Heh. Just goofin right guys?

You'll soon get tired of the 24/7 recitation of I Zimbra and the signed urinals everywhere
