   @selzero @LeftistLawyer @AeonCypher in what will no doubt cause a little controversy... Microsoft is about to go into an exclusive contract with the Three Mile Island nuclear facility to provide emission free power for Microsoft's AI, Analytics, etc. workloads.

   Best part is that by doing so Microsoft doesn't get to the dreaded "nett zero" emissions; they actually get extremely close to "actual zero" emissions.

     Aw man.

     So.

     What about this smart phone I'm using. The footprint of its production.

     The electricity.

     The storage my Mastodon server uses. The hardware footprint, the cooling it needs. The electricity.

     The network we use, the hardware footprint, the electricity.

     The device you use to contribute. The server you are on. The hardware footprint. The electricity
