I’ll start: it wasn’t too long ago that one wasn’t expected to pay out of one’s coked up nose for programs (apps). One used to be able to buy a thing and then own the thing. Vacuum cleaners. Video games. Photoshops. Now one has to sign up for it, enter one’s credit card info and fucking pay monthly for some harebrained “service.”
And I blame all of you. Probably 9/10ths of you are on apple products and/or are locked into absolutely insane digital ecosystems and you all laid down and took it. All of you fucking libs. You took it, you normalized it, and fuck all of you.
Every aspect of our existence is now transient. Home - rented, job - gig/freelance, food, entertainment, fucking toilet paper - everything is a subscription. Our atomised lives are bought, sold, and lived in weekly or monthly allotments. We have no roots, no belongings, no ownership. The means of production? We no longer even own the products.
It’s extremely post-modern, I must say.
Lol, there are subscription toilet paper services now, I was just including it in the rant
Bidets aren’t replacements for tp, it’s just an extra cleaning step after you’ve wiped
What if the real fascists were, (and hear me out), fascists???
and the real antifascists ??? antifascists???
You should just pirate the apps you need.
I have a total of zero subscriptions and pirate everything, not because of any moral reason, but because I’m broke lol
even if i had money i’d still pirate, if i want to watch a movie i want to click a file and watch it not have to check each different subscription service and then watch it in low bitrate 1080p
I don’t have good enough internet to not pirate haha, I can’t stream shit here. Also, fuck corporations. If it was as easy to steal all the shit I need from corporations as it is to pirate, I would never buy again.
I occasionally buy indie games tho cuz: 1) they’re indie; 2) they’re often not on the pirate scene; 3) they’re often on sale for like a dollar haha
