Ask HN: Anyone tired of everything being a subscription now?
Not newspapers or media services (though those can be annoying too), but products in general? It feels like it's getting harder and harder to just buy something in the tech world, especially when it comes to running programs on my home computer. Want a password manager? It's a SaaS now. Note taking app? SaaS. Image editor or office suite? SaaS (thanks Adobe...)<p>This is especially annoying given I generally refuse to rent anything in life, and will go out of my way to buy something upfront simply so there's no risk of losing it if finances get worse in future (or the wrong billionaire buys the company). Yet it seems like it's getting harder to do so, especially when open source products don't exist for that domain.<p>So yeah, why is that? And is anyone else tired of the constant barrage of subscriptions for things that should be one off purchases?

Ask HN: I have diagnosed ADHD and cannot work with Slack anymore – advice?
10 months ago, I started to work at a company that uses Slack heavily. They have 1000+ channels and my team is tagged in a lot of stuff so I get a lot of notifications.<p>I can't concentrate at all. It's not like it's annoying, I simply cannot work.<p>I have been spending 10x more energy since I started to just keep above the water but now, after 10 months, I'm simply drowning and my tickets are all piling up.<p>I don't want to be that person that's not reachable but more and more, I'm thinking about closing Slack and opening it 2-3x a day.<p>Any advice?
