  • If a product can be offered without much issue on a pay once and own-as-is forever model, then I think there is an ethical imperative to pirate it.

    I would be willing to pay a few hundred bucks for a perpetual license to look 2023 version of Adobe Lightroom. Unfortunately the only place to find such a product is on the high seas. Adobe will only let you buy a subscription based equivalent. I like the actual software product, and I’ve gotten good at using it, but if I can’t just buy it, I’m not going to pay for it.

    I actually have a plug-in for Lightroom called topaz Labs AI enhancement suite. I pay for a single year’s worth of updates, but I can still use the software as of the final update forever. If Adobe actually offered something like that I would be all over it.




  • … what’s wrong with Joe Rogan? The traditional media has smeared him because they don’t like that CNN plus shat the bed and they’re sad about it.

    He’s just a ‘normal’ dude. The fact that you put him in with he likes of Andrew Tate, or Peppa Pig fame, says a lot about what you’ve been led to believe.

    I’m not a big fan of Rogan, but I don’t dislike either, I’m just not a podcast person very often. The guy just has conversations with all kinds of people.

    A PHEV uses 5x less critical material than a compatible BEV, and people with one of these can be in ev mode 80% of the time or at least run the gas engine but get way higher carbon efficiency than ICE alone.

    Unfortunately the new IRA bill nuked federal rebate for most of them and dealers are still charging an arm, leg, kidney, and firstborn in dealer markups
