@jalefkowit Why does this remind me of a time when people went, ooh Meta can't be that bad 'cause look, they got Nick Clegg working there.

@jalefkowit don't worry, I'm sure it'll pair nicely with the European-in-that-Russia-is-not-not-Europe office suite that's being promoted instead of the multi-decade widely deployed European office suite.
I'm sure this table didn't come with a head shaped hole.

@jalefkowit A lot of people will talk about looking for services not based in the US, and there are good reasons to do so, but it's not like Europe isn't cut from the same cloth.
