I’ve figured out how to pirate stuff for a while now, but it only recently came to mind that I could get premium versions or paid programs for stuff that I’ve been avoiding for years.
For instance, Google docs is the only (good) free doc editor app, but now that I can, I am trying out several normally paid apps.
Does anyone have any interesting suggestions for apps (or computer programs for linux and windows) that I could download now that I have realized the power I wield?

My god, are you crazy? As a editor, LibreOffice Writer is much better and featurefull. The only counterside is the lack of native cloud sync, but there’s workaround in that
Office is obviously handy. Download a legitimate release and activate using this. Other than that, I only use pirated software on an airgapped computer.
The cost and lock-in of most software is not actually the money they charge for it. It’s the time you take to learn it. So if you take time now to learn proprietary software, you’re in fact tying yourself to that software.
It’s like all the graphics design students pirating Photoshop, when they go out to work what skill set are they going to use most?

I’ve come to enjoy Onlyoffice. It’s free, has cool features, and it has slick, dark mode

Great way to put it
Libre Office, which is free and open source, is wonderful and more than adequate in 99% of cases.
On mobile I mean, I don’t really use desktop computers all that much. I fully agree that libre is better than ms office on pc

Must be out dated it encourages using reddit :)
Its the megathread for this instance. I guess FMHY don’t even have an instance anymore though
What are some software that you have a need for?
Calculators, Editors, Call Apps, Population simulators, map projection programs, paid newspapers, offline sea maps.
That’s the ones I can think of right now
