What's your "old person" trait?
(feddit.ch)
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
That said I do agree with you
My old person trait is to inform people that they meant to say "fewer."
Stannis? Is that you?
Haha. I typed it that way out of laziness, sorry 😺
It’s okay, my other old person trait is teasing people on the internet don’t take it too personally
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 🤡
There's davinci resolve, though an entirely different editing software may be out of your scope
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.
You gotta get on that private tracker shit. Public trackers are always terrible and are more risky.
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.
And this is why I buy still buy copies of 2015 Office from eBay
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. ;)
When I was younger I would be there with you. Now as I’m older I just want it to work and the Pirate Bay is hit or miss sometimes.
Not sure if you're joking or not, but just in case... stop downloading media manually. Look into Radarr, Sonarr, and Lidarr. You can self-host on any PC using Docker.
Half joking. Pirated apps are sometimes sketchy, but you can get older versions of things that just worked. Alternatively there's Linux and the open source world, which has never let me down.
