I wouldn’t necessarily call myself a “power tripping asshole”, just someone that has a different perspective on paid software.
I appreciate your views, as they lead to good discussion, but I won’t tolerate childish insults. I won’t ban you, but I will ask that you conduct yourself properly while sharing your opinions.
You pay, that shit’s proprietary, you didnt make it, you can’t see the insides. Why would any self respecting sociopath give you something without including a backdoor, data logging/tracking, and a string to pull it back?
You steal something, or download more anonymously, it isn’t immediately connected to you, it may not have the backdoors activated, and you probably cut that string when you acquired it. You might even have to fuck around in the guts and modify shit so it can’t be remotely bricked tracked etc.
Applies to housing too. The state wants me out, I’m out. Can happen for a lot of reasons, and no amount of obedience keeps you 100% safe. In a squat, ive already defended myself, proven their power, at least what they’re willing to exercise, cannot dislodge me. The place is truly mine.
You buy from the company store, you don’t own shit.
What kind of moron uses a paid service in 2025?
If it’s paid, you do not own it.
Edit: lol power tripping asshole sad I criticized the decision they know was shit looking for an excuse to ban me. But we both know why.
I use multiple paid services, including Plex, and I wouldn’t consider myself a moron.
I also don’t use derogatory language in a forum to make a point. Be civil or you’ll be removed.

Did you meant to say “free” here? Because that makes no fucking sense.
Nope. You’re just brainwashed by capitalism.

Alright buddy, make sure to keep on that tinfoil hat.

The only thing taken for me was the time and braincells from having to read your mental diarrhea.
With happiness and glee they will follow to their deaths.
I never thought of it that way but you are 100% right. The “market” they love so much IS the company store!
Thank you for broadening my horizons.
