What software did you feel good about purchasing?
Do you still use that software?
>$11.23 USD for Rainlendar Pro
Pirating $11 software that is developed and maintained by 1 guy just felt scummy. Calendar/planner literally saved my education.
>shilling
Windows 7 home edition for 49€ in 2009

does donations count? i donated to VLC player
Ubuntu
>>53574029
Why not org-mode?
Malwarebytes lifetime.
Yes.
>>53574029
Sublime Text, just because it's quality software
I give $5/month to the kde project.
It probably doesn't help much, but it feels good and I like the majority of what they make.
Why not unix remind with radiCAL.
>$4/month vpn
>Nova Prime
>Textra
That's about it.
Poweramp

Check your license again .
My lifetime changed to 1 year
Gtav
Witcher3 on pc
Funny because that game has no copy protection, literally just download iso and run install.exe
>>53574029
synergy. i dont even use it though.
>>53574325
Games don't count. They're art, not software.
Neutron Music Player, worth every cent.

>Purchasing software because you felt scummy
The only one who should feel scummy is the programmer.
Did you even read the GNU Manifesto?

Airdroid is a godsend.
Feels good to pay for Muh gaymen.
>>53574029
Wow. A fat girl I would definitely fuck.

THICK

Except charging money for software is completely legitimate for a Free Software project as long as the source code is freely available. Probably not the case of OP's software but still I wanted to make that clear.
RMS himself sold copies of Emacs and other GNU software in the early days. That prevented him from starving.
>>53574357
I paid 10$ for xpadder, just couldnt be bothered to pirate it, deal with all that malware bs and such
>>53574029
syncbackpro, literally the best backup tool ever, does CRC checks on each file and includes them in a report file at the end of each backup. well worth the fiddy bux.
>>53574029
Good lord their website is fugly
>>53574029
Do games count ?
Because I jewed my way into a lot of sales and 80% of them were definitely worth the buy.
Chivalry, MW and DW almost all TW games (except Attila), CSGO, Payday 2, Skyrim, L4D2, Portal 2, Withcer 1&2.
>>53574029
I've donated to Vim and OpenSSH. I've used those way more than any of muh $40 gaemz.

Does it run modern machines or is it DOS and Amiga only?
>>53574807
are you retarded? its windows NT and up only

>>53574029
I want to touch her boobs
Also not really purchased, but I donated to several small projects. Basically if something makes my life a little less complicated, I like to tip the devs.
>>53574029
>What software did you feel good about purchasing?
Stalker SoC and CoP because the devs live in ghetto conditions.
>>53574357
Oh fuck. Never bought any software ever, though never pirated anything from small dev teams either ... mostly because their software sucks cock.
>>53574029
>Atmosphere / Omnisphere
8 years later and I still use it in everything, somehow.
>Kontakt (and its billions of libraries)
My go-to template starter.
>Vienna Strings
Strings that don't suck.
>Sample Modeling
Actually playable and mixable virtual winds and brass, go fucking figure.
Buyer's remorse:
>EWQL Hollywood Platinum
I fell for the hype and demos. Bergersen and the rest of them spend upwards of 4 fucking weeks squeezing a measly 2 minutes of amazing sound out of those libraries, and I don't ever have that kind of time budget. The patches are barely even playable and the legatos are out of time / sometimes even out of tune, so how the fuck am I supposed write with it?
Fucking ripoff, and even Symphobia trumps its full patches for layering work.
>>53574833
you know rsync is free and has a windows build right?
>>53574029
The Debian Project, a few Android applications that I found useful/liked the project like Termux.
Not that much, but yeah it's alright to give money for a software you use often and don't participate into.
You Need A Budget (YNAB).
I use it almost every single day.
>>53574029
I use the GNU project and I bought a shirt. I am not a member of the FSF yet though.

low test
The last software I purchased was Windows 7 and Office 2010. At the time, I felt good about my purchase, but was unaware of how it could be ruined. Given Microsoft and Apple's version of free software, I would rather pay a one time monetary fee than deal with this shit. I no longer use their OS as my primary and will stick with Linux + VM until they change.

Spotted the non American. Enjoy your thin beautiful women asshole!
I can honestly say I've never paid for software. Actually no, that's a lie. I've never paid for WINDOWS software. I bought a few Android apps, but only because someone gave me Google Play gift cards, so I'm not even sure if that counts. There was really nothing else to use them on.
Unless we're counting games of course. But I don't think that's what OP was getting at.
Windows 10
>>53574148
DisplayFusion
VorpX
Go Play Along
Windows 7
Unreal Engine 4 when it was subscription based
Every game I have
MediaMonkey Pro
>>53574538
That was back when shareware was big and the internet was for universities and rich kids.
Nowadays, if the source code is freely available on the net, but the binary costs money, there's nothing stopping you from building the program yourself.
Dev will make no money.

Did you ever try the EWQL pianos? They seem to be a bit on the pricy side for someone who just wants to play a bit through a VST. Any suggestions for a sub-100$ budget?
i dunno OP
>>53574029
Renoise. Used the demo for like 8 years before buying it.
Probably my favorite piece of software.
>>53574077
Freetard detected.
Blue Iris - $60.
One man makes the software.
>>53574029
I didn't really read the topic of your post but I just felt compelled to let all of you reading this that I would definitely fug that, raw, and hard.
Then I would cuddle with it, and hope time stays still.
That is all. Continue discussing whatever stupid shit you guys were arguing about.
>>53574029
I'll buy software/games by smaller devs. They need the support.
I payed for rainlendar too OP, because the paid version syncs with google calendar on my phone.
I pay monthly for Lightroom because professional photography. It's hyper easy to pirate it but the updates are helpful for lens profiles, and on some level i'm paranoid that since I make a lot of money through it, legally I should probably own it.
>>53574029
WinRAR because it's easily my most used application ever.
DVBViewer because it works awesome with KODI PVR.

Back in 1997 I donated %250 to IrfanView development, exchanged a few emails with the guy suggesting features, reporting bugs.
Best. Investment. EVER.
>>53586244
>WinRAR because it's easily my most used application ever.
WTF this reminds me of that Greentext where the anon's parents got him a WinRAR key.
Why don't you use 7zip? It is faster, free as in freedom and even OS agnostic

Lightroom and Photoshop - I know, super easy to pirate etc. etc. I am making money of those, so i kinda felt i need to own them legally
1Password - this is the best purchase i've ever made
I'm probably gonna spend some money on Sublimetext and Displayfusion once I get a job
I've bought RedHat (lol 4.0) disks at Computer shows in the mid 90's, since I didn't drive and no credit. I did buy Xi graphics xserver because XFree86 didn't have accelerated graphics for my s3 card at the time.
I've been using pc's since 1995 and I don't think I've ever bought any software. The most I've ever done is send a postcard to an author thanking him for a hex editor
(not counting the windows licenses that came on stickers attached to used computers and laptops)
>adobe creative cloud
use photoshop, illustrator, and premiere every now and then
>>53589157
Wait, I lied a bit. The reply above mine made me remember that I did buy Redhat on cd once and also a bigger set of linux cd's that had like 5 or 6 distros on it
PhotoFucket, back in its prime
Cadsoft Eaglecad on Linux. I've licensed/upgraded it many times over the years. Use it to design hundreds of boards. Good software.
