For sure. And Libreoffice doesn't constantly try to make you save your documents in OneDrive...

This is an interesting point as well. Before, if you weren't happy with an update or whatnot, you could just keep running the older version. But nowadays that's impossible in many cases.

I see your point. But as someone else mentioned, there are many programs, apps and what not that shouldn't require a subscription just by looking at how the software or hardware is set up.

[–] Treedrake@fedia.io 5 points 1 year ago

Absolutely. I constantly revisit the services I subscribe to, but to be honest, I still keep some streaming services on a constant subscription even though my viewing patterns differ from month to month. In that case I'm just too lazy, and it's not a huge hit to my disposable income. I pay for it to be available when I want to use them. I think this might be the case for many others, and coupled with not having a budget and/or financial sense, this can definitely add up for many. I also think many people just forget what services they are subscribed too, and barely even watch their bank account/credit card slip and what's being withdrawn.

Well, many do...

I'd say this might be true for programs, but as long as you download movies, shows and music I'd assume it's fine as long as you use common sense.

But not run by the original owners. And the current team is really shady. I wouldn't trust downloading an .exe from there.

This reaffirms my wish to go back to monkey.

Didn't know about this site, thanks

Thanks for this awesome app, and probably being the only mbin-app out there (if I'm not mistaken?).

Is this the only mbin app out there?
