-vim-31257y@Michelle idk I they messed up so bad their free trial system, I have a friend who has the free trial since like 3 years

dxdy1037y@illusion466 don't forget to clear the residue files/registry entries first.
But that means the relationship starts from scratch again. -
areimus3317y@Arro haha, i get where you're coming from. we're just looking at it differently.
"They're investing their time in it though, not paying their time."
- when i "pay" for something, i _expect_ something in return, nothing less. whereas with "investing", you accept the risk that you may not get that return. when you fully trust someone, IMHO a romantic relationship is closer to a buyer-seller relationship, as opposed to an investor.
"Using your reasoning, if you find a dollar on the sidewalk, it's not free, because you would have to spend time picking it up"
- this is exactly what i mean, and exactly the way i would see it, if it was actually a dollar on the sidewalk. -
endor56667y@-vim- I remember watching a video explaining how it's actually intentional. They make money from enterprise customers (enterprise version also has a few extra useful features), and just displaying the reminder for regular customers on free trial.
That way they can keep the program free for home users, and if you decide to pay you get rid of the annoying message. Win-win -
iamkrid6977y@-vim- dude I’ve been using it on my PC since 10 years approx. And it still runs Windows XP. Yes, haven’t upgraded. Vintage.
