I don't know shit about it and should probably keep my mouth shut but i am gonna say this maybe one of the few instances you should pay up ? And thats coming from someone who pirates everything . I could be wrong tho
EDIT : As i said i could be wrong i just don't want OP's bootleg software to have a breakdown in the middle of the road.
Adding additional financial hurdles on people with disabilities is, in the least aggressive phrasing, "not a vibe".
In turbocapitalist circles, we prefer to describe this as a "strong economic incentive to become unshackled from your disabilities", but I guess it's a question of optimism
And if I pay I still dont own it, that's the messed up part. I get what you're saying though and I appreciate your concern, however I've been using the bootleg software for years on my other phone without any problems so it should be possible.
Yeah if you are sure go for it . I just didn't wanna get you into shit or doing what internet strangers told you to do but if you are SURE go for it i say.
Replying again to say: that actually makes sense. You should have said that upfront! Suddenly being locked out of critical software is definitely a risk worth considering
Yea thats what i meant i thought it was obvious but obviously not
Yeah, without that edit, I was immediately in "burn the bootlicker" mode. You make a valid consideration.
I couldn't be far from it mate you should check my history i am all for pirating and foss
Checks which community I'm in. Yeah that checks out.
You're right, should have kept this thought to yourself
Why?
