"The cloud" saves you money like going to Town to use the public toilets saves you money (water and paper) #clowncomputing is a lie and all this outsourcing of data and computing -- this passage of control/power -- will cost a lot in the long run

The #gnu #linux 'cake analogy' goes a long way because yes, #aws might get something working, but 1) you're spied on 2) you're not in control 3) you pay more than you need (the shop or Amazon) 4) you cannot modify, aren't portable 5) you give salary to an ignorant buyer
