@RandamuMaki to me it's more like the corporate perspective of "#Buying" vs. "All-inclusive #leasing" for fleet vehicles because the former one may save money nongtern but the latter can be more flexible and doesn't require having 4-6 digits expenses being approved through the procurement chain.

• After all they'd either acquire an asset they'd have to care for vs. subscribing to a service that also does as much of the paperwork they legally can (OFC charging for the "convenience")...

And yes I've been in companies where it was easier to spend €10k on renting a server than spending more than €1k in purchases because a monthly-cancellable leasing was easier to get approved than a purchase due to accounting and tax writeoffs.

• THIS is why a lot of #Startups are #MoneyBurningParties because they can just blow $$$$$$ on #aws (effectively paying for their own #IndustrialEspionage!) than exercising actual ownership...

@puppygirlhornypost2 #MicrosoftTeams is #Govware and I refuse to work for/with companies that use thst #Malware, as they basically pay #Microsoft to become victims of their own #IndustrialEspionage!

@tayledras @noiq Maybe I sound jaded but when someone says #Cloud I kinda get a #Stallman-esque reflex to say: "#ThereIsNoCloud - only #ForeignCompanies' #Servers!" because that is the essence of it.

And why anyone would pay to have #IndustrialEspionage comitted against them is beyond me, tbh.

@Natanox this is why I refuse to use #Azure, #GCP and espechally #AWS:

Cuz I'd otherwise literally pay them to commit #IndustrialEspionage and illegal #Espionage for a foreign nation [Remember the #PRISM program is still up and runnig and all #GAFAM|s are still committing data to it!] and that would be a direct violation of confidentiality of every contract I ever had.

AKA: I'd be the scapegoat that gets sued beyond insolvency when shit inevitably hits the fan.

@msw If someone uses #aws they already pay for their own #IndustrialEspionage...

@chucker @zorinlynx @patrick_h_lauke Corporations who use #Microsoft's #Govware despite #PRISM program being revealed and ongoing AND #CloudAct being existing really should reevaluate their existance.

Likewise with #AWS, #Azure & Co.: They literally pay for having #IndustrialEspionage done on them.

Also a good business will be able to setup a basic, static "Hub" website as homepage that has bookmarks for all the essential portals.

@zakiuem @maxschrems @noybeu Instead the #USA have doubled-down on their #Espionage openly with #CloudAct which basically makes every corporation with an office [not just HQ] in the #USA act on behalf of it's #intelligence and #espionage services that also are known to openly support and act in terms of #IndustrialEspionage.

Basically doing what they constantly accuse the #PRC of...
