@ChickenPwny I just consider all "#AI" as #WastefulComputing and said acceleratoes as "#WastedSilicon" and "#ManufacturedEwasre" just like #Bitcoin - #Mining Hardware...
Three Miners toiled in Kuttenberg Mountain for seven years - until each of them made a final wish.

Report links world’s top #banks to social & environmental harms from #mining
https://news.mongabay.com/short-article/2025/09/report-links-worlds-top-banks-to-social-environmental-harms-from-mining/
A new Forests and Finance Coalition report finds top financial institutions, including JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America and BlackRock, support mining companies linked to deforestation, land-grabs, contamination and Indigenous rights violations. According to the report, from 2016-24, major banks provided $493 billion in loans and underwriting to mining companies, including Glencore, Rio Tinto and Vale. As of June 2025, investors held $289 billion in bonds and shares of 111 transition mineral companies.
A single #coal exploration #borehole in Queensland’s Surat Basin is #releasing hundreds of tonnes of #methane each year.
Hundreds of thousands of the boreholes have been dug over more than 100 years of mining, including by companies that no longer exist.
Experts and conservationists are calling for a full audit to determine how many holes are leaking and how much methane pollution is under-reported. #auspol #mining #ClimateCrisis

Gemstone Beach is about 70km NW of Invercargill, on the road to Te Waewae Bay and Tuatapere. It's famous for its colourful stones. Sapphire and garnet have been found on the beach.
Now a Queenstown dude called Michael Reedy has applied for a 10-year mining permit over 47ha of the beach. Locals are not amused.
"I don’t think one man should have that power over a tourist destination that brings money to our area."
The applicant insists there won't be any diggers or trucks.
"Mr Reedy said it was a non-mechanical operation and he would be walking up and down the beach looking for high-quality sapphires and gemstones.
"It won’t even include a spade. It will be just me and a bucket, walking down the beach."
If that's the case, why does he need an "exclusive" mining permit when he can already remove stones just like everybody else?
