    It’s surreal how seemingly everyone in this article - including the journalist - has adopted the rebranding effort.

    I’m frustrated with that shit, it is a data centre with all the environmental and humanitarian implications, yet they seem 100% on board with it and with adopting Firmus’ stupid attempt at a rebrand. Great journalism.
