India's per capita water availability has fallen from 5,000 cubic metres in 1951 to around 1,400 today. Below 1,700 is officially 'water stressed.' Meanwhile every industrial corridor plan assumes water is just... there. A single steel plant needs millions of litres daily. Ethanol — our big energy diversification bet — uses 10,000 litres per litre produced. We plan factories without planning water. It's the blind spot nobody budgets for.

recycling isn't real btw. it all just goes in the landfill. The whole idea was basically just a propaganda effort to make you feel good about yourself so you'll keep consooming product.

@rcarmo 36 degrees in shade outside here

28C outside. 26C in the office.

राजस्थान में सोलर प्लांट से जीवन-चक्र तबाह: 26 लाख पेड़ कटे, 5°C तक बढ़ा तापमान; तितलियां-पक्षी गायब, फलों की पैदावार 75% घटी #RajasthanNews #SolarPlant dainik.bhaskar.com/sXzhHBU4zVb

"In Rajasthan, 26 lakh trees were cut for a solar plant, temperature rises by up to 5°C; butterflies-birds disappear, fruit production drops by 75%" And people wonder why it is so hot and there is shortage of drinking water in Vishwaguru

Indian tech bros have turned feudalism into an app. x.com/YesKhush_5/sta…

The most dystopian part of AI isn’t the technology itself. It’s the sheer amount of electricity and water being burned so corporations can automate things nobody asked to automate. Entire rivers diverted so an app can generate “funny medieval Breaking Bad images.” So LinkedIn users can produce motivational posts written in the tone of a traumatized flight attendant. We are constructing cathedrals of computation to eliminate the burden of having an original thought. And they keep selling this as progress. Meanwhile the actual physical world decays. Bridges collapse. Cities rot. Public transit looks post-apocalyptic. Young people can’t afford houses. But thank God the machine can generate 9,000 fake podcast clips per second. Civilizations used to build aqueducts and railways. Now we build data centers.

Fantastic. We also consumed more print magazines. Where writers needed some credibility to be able to write.

With all these AI coding improvements why isn't the software I use everyday getting better?

@harshdeeprapal Hahahaha! I NEVER installed it, but i am happy to install and uninstall only for 5000/- which will buy me a new camera

@parambyte I have uninstalled Insta and FB since last 5 years. Where do I collect my $4 mil?

We have been conditioned to believe that poverty is more of an individual failure rather than a deliberate engineered system

Having been both to Lahore and Amritsar, the only difference in food habits is the timing of eateries. Amritsar still closes down at a reasonable hour but Lahore is open till early morning. And of course the absence of beef in Amritsar.

I don't want self driving cars. I love driving!

“Lower value capital” is how the wealthy talk about actual human beings now. Get them gone.

A new name for the working class, 'lower-value human capital'. They don't give a shit about you and your family.

Metabolism slow down.

We never needed these words more.

The most striking thing about capitalism is that every year, through technological advancements workers produce more in the same amount of time, yet none of this has ever translated into reduced working hours, improved labor conditions, or increased leisure time.
