Unfortunately, it is a "site", meaning a server you have to contact
over the internet.

The tendency to involve other people's computers in doing jobs that
you could do on your own computer is a fundamental wrong turning in
computing practice.  'dict' is an example of this problem.

We need to lead people away from that paradigm, not adapt our
activities to fit into it.
