    No one buys legitimate windows or office licenses anywhere, lol (except for corporations, I guess)

      Depends if you count OEM licences that came with their device as purchases, which would be the vast majority of people.

        I gave my Linux laptop to my brother and that fucker bought a separate retail copy of windows (because it’d be stealing otherwise). I’m ashamed to be related to that fucker.

            It’s infuriating, but if it’s your brother, unless he’s jeopardising an important priority in your life in a way that affects your life opportunities and/or wellbeing/health, ya should probably tolerate it somewhat. Like explain why what he did is a bad thing and let it be. Family discount. At least it’s not your parent that’s acting up.

            Anyway, I am just talking out of my ass here, free advice, and all that. I don’t blame you at all, I’d be pissed too.

              Oh i see him at family events I play with his kids. I even loaned him some money to buy a house. I just stopped talking about tech or exchanging tech. I stopped his access to my plex and nextcloud. I’m the tech guy of the family but he is blacklisted in tech.
