A perpetual license doesn’t mean the company supports it forever; you know that, right? I have a copy of Quickbooks 2015 that I got the license key for from a closing company for about $25. I will never have to pay another dime for it, it’s a perpetual license and will run indefinitely. I just don’t get any updates at all, and I can’t run anything that requires updates or subscriptions like payroll or advanced features. But that’s absolutely fine for my purposes and works the same for many, many people. This is how things should be - if I’m fine with using an outdated version, there is zero reason I need a subscription license.

Because it’s only fraud if a normal person makes money from it, duh 🤪

Oh, don’t worry, that’s only in urban schools.

(hint: urban is a dogwhistle for Black)

Wow, the PO Box analogy is the best, most simple way I’ve ever seen anyone explain 2FA. Thanks, I’m stealing that for when I need to explain it to my tech-illiterate family members for the umpteen millionth time :')

The point of financing a $5-6k car is that many people simply cannot scrounge up that amount of money to pay cash. Further, especially these days, it’s hard as fuck to find a car that actually half functions for 5k.

Ouch. Poe’s law strikes again.

Moises is an app that isn’t directly intended for making karaoke versions of songs, but you could use it for that purpose. It separates songs out into their parts (guitar, keys, vocals, drum, etc) using assistive AI. You get a few free songs but you have to pay a subscription for more than that.

There’s also StarMaker but you’re limited to the catalog they have and it’s definitely got some dark pattern design. Can be a bit fun but I deleted it pretty quickly.

As a demifluid bisexual, can confirm. It’s a lot of fun.

You know, when I’m not being relentlessly harassed just for existing 🤷🏻‍♀️

Thanks a bunch for the swipe-to-go-back toggle on posts. So much easier to read the comments now!

Yeah if I’m gonna get digital-carded to play a video game like I get regular-carded for booze at 34, I will absolutely just start pirating everything.
