Here's what I think about software applications switching to a subscription model, with the Ulysses app as an example.

Ololo! Starting with version 9.3.2, The Bat! now supports OAuth for Office 365!

The Bat! already worked fine with Office 365 via IMAP/SMTP, but then our retarded IT department forced 2FA with OAuth challenge without enabling app-specific passwords, so I had to stop using The Bat! for work e-mails, as it didn't support OAuth challenge for Office 365. But now it does! So fuck Outlook, I'm going back to the best e-mail client.

And now I will finally upgrade my license from 8.x.

RetroShare version 0.6.6 did not (still doesn't?) have a version for Mac OS at the time of release, so I've built it. Also finally tried it out myself.

1Password 8 will be an Electron-based application. That is by far the most reliable way to turn your application into shit.
Like the post says, it's hilarious how 2 people could make a native application, but 473 couldn't.

There also will be no option anymore to have a standalone one-time purchase license, so the subscription license will be forced for everyone. That is the second best way to make a pile of shit out of your application.

And apparently, it won't be possible to use iCloud/Dropbox/etc for syncing the vaults, and no way to have "offline" vaults too! The actual fuck.

If for some reasons I won't be able to keep 1Password 7 working on my Mac OS and iOS devices, I guess I'll have to switch to KeePass - I have already been using it on Windows, as 1Password 7 for Windows was a piece of crap from the beginning (and with 1Password 8 it will be just total shit).

That is one more case when I regret that I purchased a software license instead of pirating it.

Steam Deck - a happiness that can be bought with money. Windows-only games and applications magically running in a GNU/Linux environment. A handheld gaming device with fantastic controls and unprecedented freedom of doing whatever you'd like.
