I’ve definitely turned into the paranoid nutcase within my friend group in recent years, I hate that everything is “smart” nowadays requiring an app/internet connection & account, just to do basic things that didn’t require any of that before.

What’s some things currently making you ramble like an old man?

    Ditto. Subscriptions for something you should just pay once is ridiculous. No, I do not owe you a monthly sub for an app that I already paid for.

      Worse is went you’ve already paid for a lifetime license and they pull the rug out saying they’ll no longer honor it after a certain date.

      That’s the quickest way to to get on my ‘Always Pirate’ list

      If a piece of software doesn’t have a perpetual license, I’m not using it. I wish more people would do the same, so this predatory business model dies.
