Tidal atm and tbh I’m happy enough with it to stick with them for a while longer, providing there are no silly price rises.

Just got this email. It’s better news at least but I’m not totally convinced by it just yet.

That’s certainly a more hopeful response. Fingers crossed they keep to their word with V3 too.

I’ve sent them an email, not too hopeful I’ll get any information out of them about their pricing model going forward though.

Edit: They replied but they just gave a copy and pasted statement from the press release that Designer V2 users will own in perpetuity, nothing regarding future plans.

Just bought Designer a week ago. Wouldn’t have touched it had it been a subscription. I love it so far but it will be my last purchase of any Affinity software if they move to a subscription.

There has to be a happy medium between not isolating your kids while also protecting them from what is a highly corrupting environment. Maybe this is just hindsight, but I look back at my unfiltered internet access as a kid and am pretty pissed off that my parents didn’t get more involved.

That’s it, it’s just the userbase size. I still unfortunately have to type ‘Reddit’ after any question I throw at a search engine but that is on the useless search engines and not indicative of Reddit being a great platform.

They have to make it as accessible a headline as possible, especially when most don’t read past the headline anyway these days. The average person probably doesn’t have much of an idea as to what 125TB looks like in real world use.

Beans on toast is probably one of the first meals most of us learn here in the UK. Or a Pot Noodle, once you figure out how the kettle works.
