I used to have a program called netlimiter (needed to throttle individual aop downloads on a shared WISP that was slow as balls). I bought a lifetime license like 10 years ago because I liked the software. A couple years ago they got rid of the old version and bumped me up to the new version. About a year ago I got an email saying something along the lines of “pay our new subscription fee or you lose your access” and basically put me on a trial account. I pirated their old version years ago to see if I liked the software enough after a couple months. I no longer use that software.

Another time I bought a lifetime access for a game on patreon. About 2 years later the dev switched to a subscription only fee to access all the new content and never released anything from updated versions to the older public release. So essentially I bumped down to a free tier of access to a game I paid for.

I will pirate until I die. Fuck these douchebags.

To them photographs are all made with fisheye lenses which is why only the earth looks round and distorted but fucking nothing else in the same frame.

It really is telling when people can’t get help without having to give money to mega corporations.

As an American usually that means they’re swamped and need the extra labor but aren’t willing to pay for another employee. Germany might be different in general but it could also depend on the company.

Lol no they didn’t.

If buying isn’t owning then piracy isn’t stealing.

Right now? Brother, they’ve been on my shit list for over a decade.

Wouldn’t be surprised at all if they just randomly select a few customers every once in a while to raise their premiums.

That’s a lot of weird assumptions in one post.

They changed the lights here so that when one road goes red then it’ll wait 2-3 seconds for the cross traffic. Problem is that everybody knows this so it’s almost a guarantee that someone will run the red light. Usually it’s 3-4 if in busy areas. I’ve seen hundreds of times where our light will go green and still 3 more cars blow through. Which means that light has been red for them for a good 5 seconds. Longer than most yellow lights.

That’s probably why I don’t feel good at programming. I just don’t have “that project” I want to do yet so I’m stuck in tutorial hell where I can finish the tasks but tell me to go build a website and I’m lost on where to start. Odin Project at least forced me to start from scratch after a while, but it really shows just how bad my planning is to build something from the ground up.

Haha look how quirky and relatable that is. I can totally relate. Isn’t that super relatable to programmers? What funny.

That’s why he’s still a RIO lol

Oh yeah for sure. It’s given me incorrect code before but I was able to recognize the issue and fix the error which was mostly a logic one.

Oh my God if he mentions it one more time I swear…
