@nytpu I think that's really sad to see, because #piracy isn't a solution to the #Enshittification of #CCSS and the #greed of companies like #Adobe who decided to axe any #OneTimePurchase #licensing when they were forced to accept their customers' right to sell #UsedSoftwareLicenses...

I'm really disappointed about him, because #FLOSS does solve the issue...

@ihabunek @dianshuo @vertigo #SublimeText going from #OneTimePurchase to #Subscription killed it for me.

I'd rather go with #PyCharm...

@funcrunch @medium @coachtony Shure, tho #PublicDomain doesn't exist in my juristiction as one cannot surrender #Authorship, but to go back to #Monetarization:

I don't like #Paywalling but I can accept it if it's an actual #OneTimePurchase like my #eBooks.

It may be #watermarked amd #personalized to decentivize copying it but at the end of the day, I want to keep it #DRMfree...

@lethalbit Yeah, the situation is bad.

Sadly @EU_Commission basically allowed #Autodesk to monopolize #Engineering #Software and that made them discontinue #Eagle as #OneTimePurchase and espechally the #NonCommercial #Hobbyist license which was basically the full suite for €125 but restricted to no commercial use.

I still hate myself for not having bought that over a decade ago...

@haitchfive Not talking about #Photoshop, but #PremierePro and yes #PremiereElements already pissed me off enough to switch to #Resolve...

Also #Adobe - like #Autodesk - are systematically working on monopolizing their #Software nieches and solely discontinued #OneTimePurchase Software solely to middle-finger #UsedSoftware sales in juristictions like #Germany where it's explicitly allowed.

@miah I know that in the #UsedLicense|s - Market, which is #legal in #Germany - old #OneTimePurchase #Eagle and #CS6 licenses are still holding value if not increase in price even above the original.

Espechally since #Autodesk and #Adobe killed said licenses as pure retaliation against the courts ruling that they've to accept #UsedSales without any compensation (aka. #rentseeking) - just like with physical appliances!

@black_intellect In fact, I'm convinced that #Microsoft's board hasn't yet axed #OneTimePurchase versions of #Windows ["#Server"] and #Office due to existing #distribution and #licensing agreements.

Otherwise they would've pulled an #Atlassian long ago and made all their products #cloud + #subscription - only...

@black_intellect

Espechally since #Hardware & #OneTimePurchase #Software ain't their core business, but rather the "razer handle" aka. gateway to their #subscription services.

Making almost no #profit on an #Xbox or #Surface device is fine, cuz those will be bought by people who then buy #Games and pay for #subscriptions to #XboxGamePass & #XboxLive or #Office365 & #Outlook + #Exchange on #Azure respectably...

@DaemonFC I seriously doubt that.

#Microsoft isn't as #anagonistic as it used to be under #Gates and #Ballmer in terms of #Linux, as they shifted gears from #OneTimePurchase #Software to #SaaS & #Cloud-based offerings.

In fact, I'm convinced that once the one-time-purchase Version of #MicrosoftOffice gets axed, #Office365 will officially support #Linux.
