SaaS is about as confusing as cloud and IP, it jumbles too many different kinds of services under the same umbrella. that's why we who care about users' software freedoms use terms that distinguish between services in which the software running on a server performs the operator's computing (the case you seem to care about), those in which the software performs the remote client's computing (the SaaSS case that AGPL addresses) and those in which it performs multi-party computing (publishing, communication).
maybe lowering the abstraction level would help. instead of reasoning in terms of "the service is my computing!", which is a perfectly fine stance to take in some cases but not in others, we should look into the specifics of some kinds of services and see what follows from that? -

sorry to say, but that's not even an originally creative position to take. the same old tired parasitic argument has been made by copyright exploiters about music and movies, and by software tyrants about the GPL that you praise. power over others is not freedom. you're perfectly free to modify AGPLed software and use it for your own computing. the requirement only kicks in when you attempt to use it to gain control over remote users. they deserve freedom, and control over their own computing, as much as you do, no matter how convoluted a reasoning you might have to try to deny them the freedom they deserve, and every rationale I've ever seen that calls for power to take freedom away from others backfires: as other exploiters flock to gain and exert such power, you end up losing orders of magnitude more than you could potentially gain. if users don't matter much to you, do without them; you're not entitled to them, and no users is what you should earn for not respecting them -

your confession is appreciated ;-p
to me, the most important users are those whose computing is being performed. agree/disagree? -

el gran editor es emacs (eight megs and constantly swapping). vim siempre fue el pequeño editor ;-) -

meanwhile, in brazil, bolsonaro's government has granted 109 private banks access to citizens' personal records and biometric data collected by government's online services, electoral authorities and by states' identity document issuers

cuando se unen los poderes de gobiernos y de las empresas privadas, si no me olvido se llama fascismo
veremos nacer el fascismo de vigilancia en europa? -

FWIW, in Portuguese, Monday through Friday are spelled segunda-feira to sexta-feira. segunda means second, sexta means sixth. Saturday and Sunday don't follow that pattern, but with that language background it's hard not to think of Sunday as the first day of the week, though not the first weekday ;-) -

como padre y responsable por alguién menor, no se puede admitir la posibilidad de consentir que violen el futuro digital de tu hija, ni puede ella misma, mientras sea menor, consentir que se le violen. la única opción recomendable es resistir.
cuando mi hija estuvo en similar situación, pidió (exigió, en realidad ;-) que le cambiáramos a otra escuela -

la implementación de wc de Unix es la original; la de GNU es mejorada, no es la misma.
linux *parece* tener mejor "marketing" pero eso es propaganda de los que hace décadas tratan de hacer parecer irrelevante a GNU y al nuestro movimiento por la libertad de los usuarios
