IDK about Huffman, but the Voldemort analogy for the others is apt.
The first one listed, yes.
Isn't English an awesomely terrible language?
Was Ghengis Khan a great conquerer? Have we made America Great again yet?
Note, I'm not asking if Ghengis or the rest are beautiful, or good role models.
Again, sounds suspiciously close to the Voldemort agenda to me...
Most of us left Reddit several years ago now, but isn't this still one of the top refrains across the Threadiverse? Besides fuck tankies, cars, and conservatives I mean, there is fuck spez? Very "impactful" then, plus were not his actions the epitome of what you described - to get his while the getting was good, no matter what he might destroy in the process? So, locally great, not so much to ring through the ages, unless someone asks how the threaded forum-style Fediverse got its start.

Tbf, I don't mean to suggest that data centers are going to bring about the end of all life on earth as we know it... at least not alone, though they may hasten that end goal rather than stave it off, especially locally for people who increasingly have less agency over their lives, particularly in the sense of securing sufficient water.
And/or having the ability to relocate to higher ground due to rising sea level...
Yes, and data centers are specifically depleting the available water (and RAM) supply, thereby generating anxiety about that fact.
RAM is a lot like diamonds, supply controlled by a cartel.
I mean... yeah, it requires manufacturing for it to be produced:-P.
