Lol our standup+parking lot is scheduled for an hour. Kill me.

I made my AOL mail account in 2006 and still use it. I don’t use it as my primary email anymore, but I have hundreds of accounts tied to it

I’ve switched to indie games or older releases in my backlog

Good on you for having such a detailed and well-meaning post, and good on the devs for being so receptive to ideas. I run Immich but am definitely a novice when it comes to self hosting things, so I had no idea this was going on. I don’t have any suggestions for the feature request but the proposed changes to the documentation would be good for people to know its thete and can be changed.

I have the basic $3 one, I just call it my shitposting tax. Longer messages, using emotes in any server and larger files. I use it a lot since my friends haven’t warmed up to Matrix yet, might as well support them while its not total trash

If you’re happy being there and they’re happy having you, then stay, you’re pocketing so much more. Since you’re employed, just make sure your family is taken care of, chip in for groceries or a new TV if they seem to need it.

I used to be a lot less lenient in the past, but as I’ve gotten older and DRM and streaming services have gotten worse I’ve been sailing the high seas more. Now I’ll do it if there’s no reasonably easy/convenient way to buy it in my country, if the work is old/big enough that nobody creatively involved is going to notice, or if I already bought the same or similar version in the past (such as wanting a movie for my Plex server that I know my parents have on DVD somewhere). Sometimes I’ll “acquire” something and end up financially supporting it down the line if I like it.

I do agree with some of the other comments though, that for things like software where there’s an alternate FOSS or independent version, I’ll go for that. I’ve begun getting in the habit of donating or paying one-time purchases (such as ad removal) on software I use a lot.
