What's your "old person" trait? (feddit.ch)

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.

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 🤡

There's davinci resolve, though an entirely different editing software may be out of your scope

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 gotta get on that private tracker shit. Public trackers are always terrible and are more risky.

I'm not sure if the Lemmy piracy instance has an Open Signups thread, but might be a good idea to keep an eye out. It's worth it.

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.
