@packetcat i’ve read smut that i enjoyed, but never in a traditionally published book. i don’t think editors at traditional publishers really know what to do with it, and so they either leave it alone or give bad advice. that, or they are just targeting an audience which is very much Not Me

christmas
@aescling “do they know it’s christmas?” and hopefully it is self evident
@wallhackio “the one where he fucks a couch?”
@idlestate it’s definitely a bit complicated, while also in other ways simple. i grew up in Moses Lake, whose agriculture comes from the Columbia Basin Irrigation Project, which yes was a public works project coming off of the Great Depression which had been planned for a while. but Moses Lake is on the map today largely because it has one of the longest runways in the United States, which was built (as i understand) because they wanted an army air base which was closer to Boeing but far enough inland as to not be a target for Japan. (Boeing still tests and repairs all their planes there once they leave Everett, including experimental military planes.)
@idlestate yeah they try to sell the dams as this thing done for purely economic and business reasons when the real reason was aluminum manufacturing for World War II and other military pursuits
(here is a source for that last bit: <https://www.dailydot.com/debug/ephrata-washington-fastest-internet-us/>)
for a while Ephrata, WA (tiny town in the middle of nowhere) had the fastest internet in the country measured as average speed available to individual households, because Grant County P.U.D. simply gave everyone a publicly owned fiber hookup because what else are they going to spend the money on
another important piece that they don’t mention is that the profit from all of this electricity usage goes to the Public Utility Districts, nonprofit cooperative entities which were set up because rich people didn’t want to sell farmers power
those utility districts have been spending that money on public infrastructure like fiber, without which none of this would be possible
for the record people were flocking there for the cheap electricity prior to A·I, including:
• silicon manufacturing
• carbon fiber plants
• unmanned aerial vehicle testing and manufacturing
• and yes, bitcoin miners
wild to see new york times doing a piece on central washington https://www.nytimes.com/2024/12/25/technology/ai-data-centers-electricians.html?unlocked_article_code=1.kE4.ZTQZ.eXmmXjcNivCI&smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare

@gaditb @clayote @Satsuma well at this point i think we’re arguing more over what constitutes the internet (or more appropriately the Web)
the traditional view is that the Web consists of resources which can be accessed, viewed, and navigated between using a standards-compliant web browser. links into epubs are NOT web links because contemporary web browsers do not support viewing or navigating within them. this is not necessarily to say that it's impossible to create a stable URI/link/etc into an epub that a different application, like a dedicated epub reader, could understand. i wouldn’t be surprised if there were indeed standards for this! but these aren’t web links
the web gets its strength from the fact that any webpage can link to any other webpage and users can traverse those links entirely in their web browser. resources which contain hyperlinks, but which can't be linked into in a way navigable by web browsers, are taking ADVANTAGE of the web but not fully CONTRIBUTING to it, and aren’t, traditionally speaking, proper web resources
