Little reminder for those who still take marketing at face value:

If you are paying someone else to use a tool you don’t own, it is not a "technology", it is a "service".

You are not "learning" or "mastering" or "building", you are "spending".

You are not an "entrepreneur", you are a "customer". Or a "fool".

If you have a fediverse account, you can quote this note from your own instance. Search https://mamot.fr/users/ploum/statuses/116040932816829096 on your instance and quote it. (Note that quoting is not supported in Mastodon.)
