I guess that’s on a PC? Or isn’t there any iOS or Android app on your smartphone which is either showing in-app adds or just simply hooked up to adtech by trackers?

If you put it like that I would prefer production, casting and direction like Narcos (Mexico / Griselda etc). Sublime in picturing another era and pure nitty gritty of real life back then. Without fake glorification.

Isnt CAPSLOCK case for screaming? 😁

My understanding is roughly, for example:

• Microsoft Word desktop application: not SAAS.
• Microsoft Word online: SAAS (just like any other service accessible by browser but not a “localhost”)
• Onedrive: SAAS, storage with local explorer integration.
• Exchange server on prem: not SAAS, increasingly diffucult to do.
• Exchange server by MS: SAAS
• Microsoft Outlook Classic for desktop: not SAAS.
• Microsoft Teams for desktop: SAAS although local install but its just another frontend instead of browser.
• Office365: SAAS but really a container for every tool in the MS online toolbox together.

Some caveats: Word handles spellchecker in their cloud and clippy 2024 (Copilot) integration blurs the line.

SAAS isn’t about subscription perse although they have them of course. Its about “not needing to take care of”. It’s software on “someone else’s computer” just as with public cloud. In a SAAS construct a provider does the hosting, computing, connection, install, configuration and maintenance. Absolving clients from that burden.

Comparing proprietary desktop applications (even with a subscription) with FOSS alternatives is useful, it’s just not SAAS.

I prefer FOSS as much as possible and didn’t read all comments on YouTube but … desktop applications are not SAAS. eg LibreOffice and Adobe apps. But I guess it only requires a different title as the list itself is useful

I like the way you assign different attributes to friends and family… 😁 Computer idiots, friends and family or … Computer idiots friends, and family …

That’s what my friend Giskard said. 😁

Got this site once stating “passwords can’t contain parts of username” icw a 64 character pw.

And usenames like “daneelolivaw” block passwords with

da an ne ee el…

dan ane nee eel …

dane anee neel… etc in them

I think poster meant dark pattern (asking for bogus consent while collecting more data then user agrees upon) as a way of cheating by Google.
