anyone got any ideas for how to hurry along this bubble pop

EDIT: specifically interested in ideas that wont get me arrested

[efi@chitter.xyz]

@aeva nitric acid on the water intakes of datacenters

[azonenberg@ioc.exchange]

@aeva find a big crowd of preschoolers and start singing this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qi4AV2S4xA0

@efi love the energy you're bringing here, but I'm gonna have to "yes, and" this one

[4censord@unfug.social]

@aeva @efi damages heat exchangers
but very slowly, and meh you probs cant bring enough nitric acid to cause real damage before someone shushes you off

[efi@chitter.xyz]

@aeva fair, I only have that one idea and would take more
nitric acid dissolves copper, which is what the cooling pipes must be made of

[efi@chitter.xyz]

@4censord @aeva chemical reactions are faster with heat

[pupxel@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@aeva start a company that sells AI generated code but it's just you in a basement

[aeva@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@pupxel I don't think that will have the desired effect.

[ahchay@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@aeva I'm betting on hunkering down and letting the ai-bros Malthus themselves into oblivion

[aeva@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@ahchay right but they're infecting stuff I care about in the mean time.

[ahchay@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@aeva I know, it's pissing in the wind really, but I'm just focusing on stuff i can do without LLMs and letting the storm rage outside.

I've found that building a list of resources that are trusted and pertinent to my own interests has helped me a lot - this has included me rebuilding a library of books that I either used to have or should have had

[4censord@unfug.social]

@efi @aeva true, but dissolving metals is still pretty slow.
And a surprising number of plastics are resistant against acids as well

[ataylor@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@aeva Short of a shinier trinket to distract VCs I don't think there are any.

I dunno, dig into quantum computing and see if there's anything cool you can make and/or fake?
