RICHARD: He's asking, "if people were using a thin client and all the computation were done on a remote server." Yes, it does mean that people lose freedom, because, clearly, you can't change the software that's set up on somebody else's server, so if you're using the software on somebody else's server, instead of running it on your own computer, you lose control. Now, I don't think that's a good thing, and therefore I'm going to encourage people not to go along with it. People will keep on developing the software to do these jobs on your own machine.
