Though unfortunately Subscriptions in software today are the norm, they are a malicious functionality. Any software that you already have installed should work whenever you want it to work. Having a timer implemented in it, so it will refuse to work, unless you pay every once in a while, is malicious.







This comment thread is for people to document various implementations of this malicious feature.

I definitely hate subscriptions...but they are certainly a valid choice for some products, like mobile data, or streaming services. But for software like password managers, or microsoft office (although i think they do provide a lifetime purchase), doing subcriptions exclusively is a rip off, especially if they are products that you don't use off and on.

People tend to think of Democracy and Freedom as one and the same. And yes, in the modern world you can expect more freedom from countries practicing democracy. And less freedom in any other form of government. And it's because the two are very much linked together. But since people do not understand both: what are the differences between the two; and what Democracy is really trying to achieve, they get sometimes very confused.
