This right here is what's wrong with the application space. The idea that this could be true leads to terrible software design and slow, bloated applications. In the current landscape is it perfectly possible (and I'd say even usual) to do most of your work and processing on local system binaries (that aren't a browser or a browser with a different name).
- an_opabinia 6y agoIt’s no one’s fault really. As long as people pirate software, it is economically Darwinian / inevitable that all commercial software will migrate to centrally controlled subscription gated servers. This includes open source software, if you correctly count how much of it is repackaged and sold to people this way.
- krageon 6y agoIt has nothing to do with pirating. That sort of predatory mercantile behaviour has happened basically ever since humanity invented money. It happens because unscrupulous people are allowed more power than they should have. Stop blaming everyone else for their bad decisions.
