on suspicion of trespassing
it appears that some members of the group decided to enter the construction site “with violence” anyway, forcing the police to intervene and leading to their arrest.
How much do you wanna bet that said “violence” was against inanimate objects and thus vandalism rather than violence?
I’d wager that any ACTUAL violence against actual people was perpetrated by the cops. That’s how it usually goes.
It is also the first of many organized by the “Stop Dirty Data Centers” coalition across Europe, with actions planned for Amsterdam, Dublin, Warsaw, Denmark, and several other cities across the continent.
TIL that my country has been relegated to city status 🤔
Please build more data centers to regain country status.
No thanks. If that’s the criteria, I’d prefer we get demoted right down to town if not village status 😁
I mean… you are rather small
True, but not Luxembourg small 😄
I don’t see much difference from my point of view ;)
Where are you from, the US?
Your country being the size of Europe DOES tend to skew your perspective a bit 😄
Thank fuck no, I’m from what you might call Tyskland
Fair enough 😁 Howdy, neighbor 👋🏼
Hey there, hope you have a nice day
Things turned violent when Microsoft chose to profit off of enabling the Palestinian Genocide with their Azure infrastructure, not when protestors of this lost their cool.
Several large tech companies, including Palantir, Google, Amazon, and Microsoft, have contracts with the Israeli military and provide support for its operations in Gaza; a few are starting to reconsider accepting Israeli money. Facing pressure from shareholders and investors, in September 2025 Microsoft blocked Israel’s access to the Azure cloud platform, a surveillance program that Israel has used to collect data on Palestinians. Israel will instead rely more heavily on Google and Amazon. In 2021, the tech giants signed a cloud data storage contract with Israel called “Project Nimbus” for $1.2 billion, a deal that involved a workaround to violate both their own terms of service and legal guidelines, leading some Google employees to protest and to resign in response. Palantir has denied that it was involved in developing the AI targeting systems “Lavender” and “Gospel” that Israel has used to intentionally strike Palestinians at home with their families. In October 2024, Norway’s largest asset manager divested its $24 million in Palantir shares due to concerns about Palantir’s partnership with Israel. But other than Microsoft, tech corporations have maintained their lucrative contracts with Israel.
Palantir has been with israel for 10+years, moving into AI was only natural.
It ain’t guetting better though since a lot of investors are either jews or christian zionists and they re all investing in AI due to some idiotic belief in prophecies from the old testament (Also why israel’s top sector is currently AI), how the hell you decolonize palestine whilst defusing biblical mania, i do not know but this is pure stupidity in action.
Dr Naomi Klein released a book on this: https://naomiklein.org/end-times-fascism/
Microsoft is a garbage company. Windows is just slop garbage. So is 365. UIs are all terrible, clunky, buggy, slow, and make no sense. They only care about copilot now.
Every single Microsoft product has gotten gradually and consistently worse ever since they made the announcement that a significant portion of their code would be written by AI. It’s extremely noticeable, so leadership at Microsoft must be deliberately ignoring it, right?
It’s insane to watch this giant company commit a slow, public suicide.
Its been going downhill well before the AI crap. That just exacerbated it.
Sure, but that was standard enshittification, nothing too surprising. If they had kept going with that sort of practice they still would’ve maintained their wealth. This suicide by vibe coding is just bizarre.
