My old person trait is that I think 'ghosting' is completely unacceptable and you owe the other person a face-to-face conversation.

I refuse to use subscription software. If I can't buy it outright, I either use an alternative or take to seas.

I love software like Lightburn where you just pay a set amount for so many years of updates and support and when it runs out you can choose to leave it like that or buy more updates and support for a smaller fee.

That tactic is used some companies I have stuff from. It's on the razors fucking edge of acceptable to me.

You just want free support for ever? Lmao, that's very unreasonable.

[–] DivineJustice 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You make this sound like it's unreasonable, but literally most consumer software licenses work like this?

[–] Uncle_Iroh 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They do not, you either pay monthly or for a permanent license with x amount of support

I've got consumer software from hundreds, maybe even a thousand companies, and only a few of them work like that.

[–] Uncle_Iroh 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ah yes, you singlehandedly bought hundreds if not thousands of companies...

[–] DivineJustice 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I bought software... not companies...
