I don't even have a dog in the data center fight and the anti-data center people are pushing me towards data centers being unequivocally good because these people are so utterly droolingly retarded that whatever they oppose must be good for the world

i have yet to hear an anti data center argument from someone who can accurately describe what a data center does without asking a data center, and ultimately it wont matter, since we seem to be rapidly headed towards putting them in orbit rather than on the ground anyway
