[Software as a Service](https://www.adobe.com/jp/products/xd.html), [OS as a Service](https://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-11), [Hardware as a Service](https://www.ics-com.net/hardware-as-a-service/), [and there's a forever growing list of more](https://boxil.jp/mag/a3600/), all beta tests for the New "you'll own nothing and be happy" World communist Order.\

Build your own website instead of relying on WordPress.com, Amebo, Blogspot, or some other Website as a Service one.\
|
|
Install your own darknet-only server at home instead of getting a VPS (Server as a Service), and if you need to be on the clearnet, here in Japan at least there is Interlink where you can get a cheapo static IP.\
|
|
Make your own Fediverse spaces instead of just using Fakebook/Minds, Shitter/Gab, JewTube/Odysee, TikTok/Instagram, and so on (Service as a Service?).\

|
Dump your OS as a Service Windows 11 or macOS, and install Linux or BSD instead.\
|

Trash your smartphone, the New World Order machine, and effectively Device as a Service.\
|
|
Dump Discord (Communication as a Service), and go to XMPP, or set up a web forum again if your Discord chatroom (they call it a server, but it's NOT a server by any means!!) is meant to be an "any poor sucker can enter" room.
