I’m not subscribing to anything. If I buy something, it’s fully functional, and it’s mine. There is no ongoing relationship between me and the manufacturer. Done.

I’m working on this, the subscription model has gotten so expensive now that literally everything uses it. Do you have any tips besides “just pirate everything”?

Use free or at least alternatives without a subscription model where possible

For cars? Just buy one that’s a bit older

Movies etc? Pirate

I’ve wanted an EV for years, but I’m sticking with my very old and fuel-efficient ICE car until it’s absolutely dead. At that point, I’m hoping that some model of EV emerges as the most hackable one, like the Nissan Leaf. I’ll buy a very used one of those & hack it.

I mean, that’s basically what FOSS is about.
