It is strange to me how slop enthusiasts phrase their argument as “(a) You better start eating slop or be left behind because (b) it is inevitable and © it is not going away.”
(a) implied threat of a good time.
(b) prediction which may never be fulfilled.
© assumption the prediction has already come to pass.
Microsoft can call it cloud infrastructure all it wants, but the people living next to it see fences, construction, and a bigger claim on local resources. Funny how the benefits are always described as global while the costs arrive at a very specific address.
I mean I’d say it’s mostly fine as long as the local/relevant politicians and gov officials actually did their jobs adequately for the people…. the problem is more on them than it is inherently Microsoft in many cases. There’s a reason we have like 4000 more than every other country lol.
Obviously if the megacorpo tries strongarming it one way or another, that makes the situation a bit different so don’t take this as me being pro-megacorp!! I love that these people are fighting back FWIW.
