  • Yup, when I was talking with a few different Microsoft representatives, they just straightforwardly stated that they don’t focus at all on punishing or pushing consequences for “obtained/purchased windows instances via any existing alternative/not supported ways” when it comes to private/home users.

    They surely and happily will put the idea of buying a key or official upgrade from their certified resellers locally or online on the table.

    It is quite a different story with larger organizations and companies.

    Of course all this info is based on just a few talks during the last decade and with incoming subscription (ugh) model a lot will change, I guess.

    Obviously, I know absolutely nothing about you, and if your standards are some over the top expectations or demands then you should stop calling them standards… BUT if your standards are healthy boundaries and some basic safety precautions then by any means try not to mess with them even when the situation is rough — this can burn for a looong time…



  • You might be missing quite a few points in general but I think, I can see where you are coming from…

    Yet, there is, at least for me, a big difference in:

    Apollo: oh we have some fun icons, people love them, maybe they would pay a little to unlock more and have fun with them, or even better, enjoy the premium subscription and have even more useful stuff

    Reddit: well, other apps were selling shit like this and people loved it and payed money for it, we want that money, let’s block what we already have and see what will happen…

    — yup, this sounds about right in my imagination

    Well, most of the websites now are mostly bloatsites with so much useless effects and/or scripts… 8 gigs of ram is not a problem here, current standards or maybe let’s call them fancy e-fashions are.

    Few days ago I stumbled upon a single page website that was loading like 12 fonts and I don’t remember how many effects libraries just to use some fading and one font in two weights.
