LOL I cloned the repo on day 1 incase something like this happened. This is the first time in my life that my precautions were useful

All proprietary code only exists to cover up true piracy and incompetence. Subscriptions for this garbage in general is a blank check scam like highway robbery. Paying any subscription for software or media is funding piracy and criminal extortion.

What the hell are you talking about. Also was an “open source” program by the way.

This not subscription software and as much as I hate every company trying to make their shit a service to sub to this is a ridiculous statement to make.
