#fuck subscriptions

No subscription. Just program.

On your computer. You got to use it forever and ever and never had to worry about it going away.

Because it was physically on your computer. As a program. That you actually owned. Not because you got it separately, but because it was a standard inclusion with your computer.

I'm sorry but I'll just never get over it. I remember when companies cared about their products being usable out of the box. I remember when our things belonged to us.

I need a plague that will get rid of 1% of humanity.

Repeat after me. Slowly: If you are renting something, you do not own it. You do never own a thing that you rent. Which is why you cannot use it to whatever extend you want. The extend in which you can use a thing you rent is limited by the actual owner, to who you pay rent, and who generally can legally take the thing from you whenever they wish to do so, with the most flimsy of reasons.

If you rent or pay a subscription, you do not own it.
