Buy... Software? You what?
The IntelliJ products are not exactly "buy once" - if you want updated versions you need to keep paying periodically.
Not that I think that's a bad thing necessarily - it doesn't make sense to expect devs to continue working on something year after year when you're not paying them for it.
if you want updated versions you need to keep paying periodically.
But you can continue using the older version, yes?

I'm happy to pay for software, but I want more than just permission, I want long term security that my investment in the tool will last.
If IntelliJ would open source their oldest versions, I would make my boss buy me a copy of the newest version every year.

They are "buy once" in that their licenses include perpetual fallback. Whenever you stop paying, you retain your licenses perpetually
Not whenever, you need to be paying for a year and then then the latest version from a year ago is what you get the perpetual license for

oh is this the proper way to link to other lemmy stuff without sending them to the other servers domain? to add the "!" in front? I've seen a lot of links before, which bring you to the other site. but never the "!"
Yes, this is the way.
