My old person trait is that I think ‘ghosting’ is completely unacceptable and you owe the other person a face-to-face conversation.
My OPT is that you should be able to buy and own your software instead of perpetually renting it.
My old person trait is that I think we need less acronyms

Come to open source… you don’t have to rent or buy software. Find yourself a good alternative.
Thanks!
I’ve been a happy Linux user since 99 and Mandrake was my first distro 👌
Still, the only piece of (subscription-based) software that’s keeping me from deleting the windows partition: Premiere pro 🤡
Thanks for that link. Honestly. I think an old thing is that I’ve gotten used to convenience and a going through a list like that sometimes doesn’t seem worth the time even though I know deep down that it is.

I’m not sure if the Lemmy piracy instance has an Open Signups thread, but might be a good idea to keep an eye out. It’s worth it.
I’m so goddamned sick of Microsoft and its greedy bullshit. I just looked at a recent KB update from them and the article must have breathlessly mentioned the word “subscription” 50 times.
After years of being a MS corporate stooge type, I finally started messing around with LibreOffice. It can read MS Office files. Check it out if you haven’t already.
You can. I think it’s called “pirate bay”, but don’t quote me on that. ;)
