I agree. We should also consider cutting residential electricity and plumbing, since that extra water could be used to cool down all the extra power allocated to data centers.

As a fan of analogies, this one is horrible. The magnitude of impact is so different. The impact of the GitHub change would be a mild and fleeting annoyance for those impacted. They just have to prompt a refactor, simple with LLM. It effects the biggest leeches in the GitHub ecosystem, so it’s targeted. The public utility impacts everyone and has no simple alternative or adjustment, people are stuck to suffer through it.
