More and more people are saying it
I thought buying software licenses was bad enough, but this is far worse. It really is capitalism's goal for us to rent our entire lives.
It shouldn't be a license in the first place, it wasn't so long ago that you could buy software on a physical disk and actually own it
I put the software on my physical hard drive for free because digital scarcity isn't real
Just wait until they can remotely delete it.
Apple already does this. They can and will delete apps straight off your phone. Just, one day, poof gone. And Apple is widely regarded as a leader that everyone else copies.
I'll airgap that shit if I have to, apple can eat my entire ass
Planned Obsolescence, baby! The product to which you hold license will no longer integrate with any other proprietary software within the next six years.
Socialism is bad because you won't even own your own toothbrush.
So, anyway, now you can pay $10/mo to DigitalFloss and receive a weekly allotment of Smart Bristles that integrate with your Sonic Cleansing Wand. Please select ACKNOWLEDGE on this 43 page licensing agreement to confirm you will accept the charges. We reserve the right to change this contract without notice.
it’s less than price of cup of coffee
always assume everyone is spending over $10k/year in coffee and just trying to stiff you on your $20/month service widget as-an-app that's barely a notepad.exe clone written in electron and was 9 years old before it implemented dark mode.
I get coffee for free at work, and in fact if you walk into the waiting room of any car dealership you can get free coffee
Stopping by a car dealership every day on the way to work is huge brain
But then you have to drink car dealership coffee :visible-disgust:
I'm getting the runs just thinking about it
i dont understand people who use dark mode 24/7. do you not have any light in your room or something?
no, i just keep it on a schedule. light mode is easier on my eyes during the day and worse at night
plus fonts render significantly better in light mode for me than in dark mode
Yes I live in a cave and am entertained by shadows on the wall thank you
When you stare into letters on a computer screen all day you tend to prefer dark mode as it is easier on the eyes.
i stare at letters on a computer all day and i prefer light mode. i guess it's just one of those things ppl like to get mad about for some reason
i wasn't mad dude, i just said i didn't get it. your comments have been way angrier than any of mine
If you're going to invoke the disengage policy then only say "disengage". Using it as way to get the last word in is abuse of the disengage policy.
Locking the thread to put an end to this.
Price of a cup of coffee: Free (coffee at work) to a few cents (a bit of water and electricity to make the coffee I was gifted).
it’s less than price of cup of coffee
actually jacks up cup of coffee prices like a boss
:stonks-up:
Actually Switch Online becoming a subscription service is good because it helped me stop playing video games all the time, now I support banning all video games :gigachad:
I'm just following the rules of capitalism when I pirate. It demonstrates that I do not demand the companies' supply of subscription based services. If they want me to purchase their products, they should simply innovate better products and models.
That shit is the worst. If I wanted to buy the damn thing I would want to pay the same price for it all the time, not suddenly be hit over the head with a huge price hike once I've gotten used to the low/free price.
https://novastream.to/ Only tv/movie streaming service you'll ever need.
I use https://fmovies.to/ and http://9anime.to/
What’s with all these websites ending in .to?
:doubt: doesn't matter what the . is, it's about where the illegal content is hosted. The .to is popular with torrenting sites for a simpler reason
No the entire Tongan islands are covered in servers that the bumbling Tongan police can never seem to find
Jokes on them, I’ve been pirating every kind of software and digital media I can think of for over 20 years.
I will not get a Spotify or a Pandora
I will continue paying the artists directly with Bandcamp and download the music and listen to it on my own terms
it’s actually way more convenient than piracy
The only reason I pay for anything anymore. I get HBO and Hulu packaged into my ISP and cell plans, so I guess I'll use them if I've got them. I've had a Netflix plan for years, primarily because its easier to click the play button than turn on my VPN and go hunt down a torrent.
But, like, pro sports? Literally easier to pirate that shit than figure out how to stream it legally.
someone posted this here and I liked it
meme's outdated though, get qBT or deluge or something instead of utorrent
netflix is curbing sharing accounts but you still can reasonably get away with subscribing to one of these services and then sharing your credentials with your friends until you have everything covered, bonus points if there's some sort of family plan.
Probably why I don't have any of those except the Switch one and just play old VSH tapes and used games from old consoles most of the time. Books too.
The three-part dissection of George Lucas' prequel series was exquisite. It hit the nail on the head again, and again, and again. It was what drew me into Youtube and why I started subscribing to creators. Now I love Youtube, there's so much awesome content.
RLM is still going, I'm not sure what the last big plinkett review was.
