Friendly reminder: "X as a service" is just a misleading corporate euphemism for "pay forever for not owning it".

"Software as a service" actually means "pay forever for not owning the software".

"Games as a service" actually means "pay forever for not owning games".

"Infrastructure as a service" actually means "pay forever for not owning the hardware".

And so on.

There is no "cloud", it's just other people's computers

I sometimes think I'm the only one who is annoyed that "STEM" has three letters other than "T". My niece-ish got a drone with the "STEM" label on it for Christmas—and it's not even hackable, just a closed sensor-based flying doohickey. Maybe I'm biased in seeing mostly media from Adafruit and Sparkfun touting "STEM Arduino this" and "STEM RPi that". But what about research, or design, or calculus?

As far as I have determined, the only purpose of adding an anti-class-action arbitration clause to a company's Terms of Service is because they intend abuse.

@ben @Gargron I kinda doubt people use underscores to separate words in hashtags, otherwise you'd have the #mans_laughter vs. #manslaughter problem
