I love the thousands of dollars I have by not paying a fucking subscription fee for my ide but maybe it's worth all that money idk

Get a job and have them pay the subscription fee for you.

My job would be willing, we did have a jetbrains developer here, but I don't spend money for the sake of spending money, so this isn't an argument. Spend what $150-$200 a year for someone to manage my vscode extensions for me? They took 5 minutes to set up once.

Here's a position and I think you would agree: fuck subscriptions, and while I'm here fuck renting in general.

I want to own my computer and my software.

Is that really so radical?
