- amelius 2mo agoI really loved the time when I could install shareware on my PC and I was sure that it would just keep working because nothing would update it behind my back; and that I didn't have to pay a monthly subscription fee to keep using it; and of course also that it would not send my data back to the software vendor. The internet is great for many things, but also has huge downsides.
