Me: …Yeah everybody, that’s the issue.
Maybe a bit controversial but I am fine with business products being subscription based as their income depend on it and they get priority support quite often. I work with SAP products so that’s what I am basing it on. Kinda same feeling for something like adobe commercial licences but the problem is with the extremely high cost, hidden fees and other shenanigans. The only subscription that I have is Tuta and Addy which I find reasonable. I would probably be getting a subscription for music and videos as well if any of them were actually good, reasonably priced and somewhat ethical for business standards.
Yay, a likeminded person!
For Microsoft I fully understand that they’d rather have a subscription model for Windows. After all you’re getting updates every fortnight and critical patches ASAP. I wonder they let you buy their shit for so long.
Just in case someone brings it up—and someone will bring it up regardless—: I’m not defending their recent enshittification and “always online” mindset.
What’s this meme from anyway?
Oh, I thought maybe it was from that creepy Jehovah’s Witness propaganda show, although comparing the mother directly, the meme image is clearly of higher quality.
No, it’s the movie where Jerry Seinfeld is a bee and tries to bang Patrick Warburton’s human wife.
All the logos over his face makes him look like a rainbow eldritch horror when I see him in my periphery.
