    I don’t hear much about Malta, the last thing that sticks out in my mind was the Journalist investigating the Panama Papers and local ties that got car bombed.

    I’m getting the impression that rich criminal neo-liberals have a lot of sway there.

      It’s also associated with crusaders- it was one of the last strongholds of the Knights Hospitaliers after they looted everything. Which might’s be part of why

        It’s also got a tax system that treats private jets favourably IIRC. Or maybe it was yachts.

          Most watercraft that are dodging shit are usually registered in Seychelles. I’m sure some are also registered in Malta too, but the VAST majority are Seychelles.

    why?

    And what is their power grid running on goat turds? Because I’m pretty sure there is an energy crisis in that part of the world.

      ChatGPT would most likely connect to US servers.

      The article doesn’t say anything about them running an AI data center. No one is making that claim.

          Apparently Malta already has the Internet. Surprising, I know.

          Buttfuck Alabama.

          As far as I’m aware there aren’t any AI data centres in Europe, mainly because of the overwhelming opposition to them, and most european countries have significantly more stringent planning (zoning) laws when compared to America.

          Not to mention tougher regulations concerning noise pollution and actual pollution.

            Yeah we don’t even have internet in Europe and only recently started importing electricity from the great US, leader of the technological world.

            In all seriousness, obviously Europe is filled with data centres too. This site lists ~4000 data centers in the US and ~3000 in Europe.

              How many of those are AI data centers though? Those consume an order of magnitude more power.

                You dont need an AI-specific datacenter to have a datacenter serving AI.

                  Missing the point. This has only become an issue since specific AI data centres have become a thing. My point still stands, I dont believe there are any specific AI centres in Europe which use a hell of a lot more energy, generate more noise and more pollution

A community for discussing events around the World

Rules:

  • Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:

    • Post news articles only
    • Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
    • Title must match the article headline
    • Not United States Internal News
    • Recent (Past 30 Days)
    • Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
  • Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think “Is this fair use?”, it probably isn’t. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.

  • Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.

  • Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.

  • Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025

  • Rule 5: Keep it civil. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

  • Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.

  • Rule 7: We didn’t USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you’re posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
