Some random Chinese company: does something jenky
Blogger: “The entire country of China is doing this jenky thing!”
They just added a fee so that AWS can’t copy it without paying. What’s the big deal.
It’s behind a paywall
Regarding the cognitive dissonance required to A) value decentralization of power, and also B) support the CCP: 🤦
It’s simple: People who gain from misinformation create platforms that empower bots and sockpuppets.
FWIW I don’t really like tech companies in general. They’re monopolies.
That said, I really admire Google’s environmental policies. I worry a lot about global warming and habitat destruction. They’re doing better than any other tech company on that front.
Other companies will just lie about their emissions. Like Amazon claiming it’s 100% renewable (it’s not even close). Google has been honest and clear with it’s emissions numbers since the beginning. And it has never been afraid to call out when they were wrong. For example, they recently updated their numbers when they realized one of their accounting methods was wrong. No other company has kept themselves as honest as Google on environmental things.
It’s a big company with 170k employees. I can name a million examples of it doing shitty things. Like shutting down Inbox. But the environment is far more important to me than some product I didn’t pay for.
