Why?

That’s not really an answer. Let me rephrase just in case.

If this data center was to be located outside of EEA, what would be the benefit to Europeans or ByteDance?

misk,

Yes, those could be harmful. How does location of the data center change that? If anything, it’s better to have it in EEA for better oversight, no?

Okay, so no change in terms of legality of the enterprise. Personally I’m in favor of regulating Youtube and Tiktok to the point that they’re truly socially responsible and only slightly profitable but that’s mostly irrelevant to data center location discussion.

In terms of benefits of investing in data center in Norway I could list:

  • using renewable energy sources in a location that’s very good at those
  • staying at regulators arms length
  • jobs

So I think this is good news.

The poll was done a month ago, let’s see how it plays out after recent 170k mobilization.

Hades and FTL are rougelites. You’re expected to do them in one sitting, they have randomly generated levels and minor progression carrying over playthroughs. Vampire Survivor is an odd one out that’s just plainly not a roguelite.

VS has static levels and every enemy wave is predefined. On that merit alone it can’t be a roguelike/roguelite.

I guess the best approach is to not limit yourself to just one label. Games like Enter the Gungeon, Nuclear Throne (or even Binding of Issac for that matter) are roguelite top down shooters. Spelunky is a roguelite platformer, FTL is a roguelite tactics game.

[warning: weird and unnecessary microgenre rambling ahead]

And don’t get me started on metroidvanias. Dead Cells is a metroidvania roguelite. Dark Souls is a metroidvania too, but also a souls-like. Technically all souls-likes are metroidvanias. Vampire Survivor-likes or whatever we are going to call them are probably going to branch out mechanically too, if they didn’t already.

Our democracy is so flawed that some things could be done by ministerial orders and parliament resolutions in the interim, which is silver lining here. Hope we’ll get deep systemic reforms when possible so that we’re not in such a cluster fuck again but I’m not holding my breath. Tusk had 8 years to do that already and KO+PSL government only made things worse back then.

I could write 5 paragraphs about what legal quirks government and president could use to keep control of it. It’s complicated but it’s believed that government would have easy time disbanding state media altogether and reforming it, if it was determined enough to skirt law in that way. PiS established separate oversight over TVP specifically but it wouldn’t matter in that instance. It wouldn’t require passing legislation that the president could veto either.

We had something similar in Poland in the 60s. Around 1.5k schools were built with military purposes in mind so they had layout that lent itself to be converted to hospitals, military storage and shelters.
