What's your "old person" trait?

3 years ago by LemmyLaLibre to c/memes

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 to inform people that they meant to say "fewer."

Haha. I typed it that way out of laziness, sorry 😺

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 🤡

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 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.

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.

I don't think you can "own it" in the traditional sense, but I'd be ok with a software purchase being a perpetual license for the specific version you purchased.
