What better way could there be to resist?

@stragu sounds pretty cruel/inconsiderate to me...

@buherator @stragu it's cruel to spread wildflower seeds?

@zbrown @stragu to convince life forms to live in a place they don't naturally inhabit with a high chance of getting extinguished later

@buherator @zbrown there's a high chance the area considered for construction has already been disturbed, and therefore has potential for rewilding with species that were historically present.

@buherator @zbrown @stragu
You seem to have completely misunderstood the post.

You think Big Tech's gonna care? They got the money to pay off the fines if they develop there anyways. Money is why Big Autos can skirt pollution laws and get off with a slap on the wrist while if small tuning shops try it, they're fined out of business. What's stopping the same logic from being used by Big Tech?

Plus, Big Tech can just pay to get protections removed or weakened as others on this thread have said.

@stragu We need infrastructure and that includes data centers, the not in my back yard hurts everyone. Doing stupid shit like planting protected plants or encouraging nesting of protected birds ought to be jailable.

@stragu It's a good idea, but people will have to prepare for the likely counterattack in which data centers get waivers or they just outright ignore the law.

But there's also a very good chance that the "AI" bubble bursts first and then you've helped endangered plants.

@buherator
In which way?

@Landa in using living birds/plants as legal shield, while in reality bulldozers would just roll over said birds while the perpetrator would pay a fine.
