Let's not forget to shame software companies that have shifted to this evil revenue model too. No longer can I expect to buy and download software I'd have a right to use for life. Now I have to subscribe to everything, not only to receive future updates, but even just to fucking use it in perpetuity.
- phkahler 6y agoThat's why I use Free Software exclusively.
- lvs 6y agoI'd be happy to pay for software, if it's worth it. I just want to buy a perpetual license, not a token for a 5 minute ride. (These days, however, I'm hesitant to pay for anything that isn't open source. I just don't trust any of you.)
- phkahler 6y agoYep. And I will go commercial if there is a good reason for it, or the free stuff sucks. For personal use there really isnt a good reason and most commercial software seems to expire in some way eventually.
