I'm not sure why but my reaction to this is pretty negative.

This page must be hosted from a data center as well...they could add a star to the map for their own hosting?

How much electricity does their site use, etc? I've seen counters like this before, I think, about the electricity a site uses based on the weight of the page, etc.

"...you said on an iPhone. Heh. Gotcha."

Fair enough, not a rational response on my part
I don’t care about the hypocrisy as much as the entire anti-datacenter Luddite movement being based on anti-intellectualism to begin with.

Datacenters provide very high utility with very low per capita externalities. There’s really no reason to care this much about them.

Perhaps comparing the anti-datacenter sentiment with the Luddite movement is being unfair to the Luddites (the more I read about the actual movement).
