In the Arday context, no one argues he isn’t guilty of the charges. Instead, they claim accurately castigating Arday repeatedly for his crime is a modern day lynching.
Who is "they" here? Like two influencers posting rage bait? Or was there a poll done where 40% of progressives say this was a lynching?

I spent the last 11 days camping without any Internet access. We engaged in primitive recreation like hiking to secluded hot springs, told stories around a fire and also wrote code without an LLM.
It was kind of hard, in dumb ways. I had to look up how APIs worked and couldn't because all I had were the C++ standard library headers, and those things are not meant for human consumption. I muddled through, but it reminded me of what it was like to program not only without an LLM but also without good online references.
We've come a long way.
I agree the arguments are usually dumb but how about this one: datacenters in general built by the hyperscalers have a good history but modern AI datacenters in particular are built in a hurry with little concern for local pollution or green energy commitments and small municipalities are at risk of being played off each other by level 50 lawyer sharks from trillion dollar corporations. They create few permanent jobs and nobody trusts the promised infrastructure improvements will actually materialize.
