While lots of opinion page ink has been spilled over ASOLs making our lives unpredictable, no one, it seems, has taken the time to think of a good reason why. I explore one both possible and likely reason in this Episode 253: SaaSsy Pirates Say ARR.

In this episode, I read from: Matt Stoller's Big article "Lina Khan verses Planet Fitness"; and Ed Zitron's Where Your Ed's At article "The Next Bubble?" I recount from memory my buddy's time as a professional using various incarnations of hard- and software.

I play: a new intro with Cory Doctorow recorded at the latest DEF CON bashing the biggest maker of office software, all while backed by KMFDM's "Attak." I close now with Julie & Rolf & The Campfire Gang doing "Over the Rainbow".
