United Kingdom
General community for news/discussion in the UK.
Less serious posts should go in [email protected] or [email protected]
More serious politics should go in [email protected].
Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

They can't even treat water with literal shit in it before dumping it back into rivers and the sea. Why would they be able to do any better with data centres.
Well it doesn’t have literal shit in it for starters.
If you have a water cooled pc, one end of it isn’t connected to the mains and the other end to the drain. It’s a loop. I can’t see why the same can’t be made true of data centres.
Money is why, you expect amazon to pay extra money to setup a closed loop system when they could offset the costs to the water company?
I don’t expect them too, I expect them to be made too. No data centres should be allowed to treat water as an infinite resource.
I see you're labouring under the illusion that the UK government aren't desperate for AI cash
