Software registration lock (lemmy.world)

Hi, some years ago (2019) I purchased landscaping program 'Punch! Deck & Landscape' from punchsoftware.com. I wanted to install it on new computer but on-line registration of license key failed.

Their support said that I need to buy new version and gave me 20% discount.

They seems to not care that purchased software had lifetime license:

"Unfortunately with changes in technologies the registration server that the older programs used were rendered obsolete and thus rendered the older programs (v20 and older) unsupportable. This is why we offer the discounts to customers who have those older programs."

...

"As newer product is released, they replace the older versions, thus the upgrade systems that are in place for customers who have the older products, so they do not have to purchase new product regularly at full retail pricing. "

Is there any way to fight those assholes? The company is located in US.

AMD Open-Source GPU Kernel Driver Above 5 Million Lines, Entire Linux Kernel At 34.8 Million in c/linux@discuss.tchncs.de

Acc to article Intel driver is 381k kines. Two orders of magnitude less. There might some minor inefficiencies in AMD code, but nobody will read 34 mln of lines of code so we will never know ;-)

Try out Aurora Store. Just started testing it. Looks and works similar to play store but without adds. You ~~can login with~~ should not use your main google account.

Thank you for constructive criticism. Next time I will get rid of those pesky spiderwebs and spray more water droplets around after grinding weeds to the ground ;-)

Slackware 7, year 2000. Never seen linux before. Thanks to help from IT geek next door managed to boot net-installer it from single 3.5". After many hours managed do finally get xfree86 working. As far as I remember it was running with KDE.

Opinion - What are your thoughts on password managers? Do you use one? Would you recommend it to others? in c/android@lemmy.world

+1 for bitwarden.
I use paid version for few years and I very happy how it works. Semi-safe TOTP MFA is working great. I'm still bit worried with cloudie thingy and considering selfhost bitwarden server for me and familly but this will open other can of worms.
