Using a server to do your ocmputing job is bad for your freedom
(unless it's your own server). We call it Service as a Software Substitute
(https://gnu.org/philosophy/who-does-that-server-really-serve.html).
Since you don't control the code running someone else's service. it
is never "free" the way a program can be free. It's not a solution,
it's a problem.

That is not a moral issue but it is something we don't want to support.
Let's make GNU Emacs do a better job of this.
