Got to be realistic though and realize not everyone can cut everything cold turkey, and those who attempt to do it and fail are more likely to slip back and directly go back to monetarily funding it again.

Piracy in that case is the lesser or two evil and more realistic for most people with not everyone in it for ideological belief of moving towards all things anti American but financially denying direct contribution as they used to do.

Calibre is fantastic software for loading books not from Amazon on to the kindle completely bypassing Amazon, and you can permanently leave your Kindle in airplane mode to not let Amazon collect data on you.

Also, side bar on [email protected] has a nice megathread that provides info on getting ebooks that might not be available to purchase outside of Amazon. Which you can then send you your Kindle with calibre.

Piracy is moral now! Not that I cared when it was considered immoral haha. Check out the side bar for the megathread to get started.

Even if they don't stick around they probably know that the days of reddit allowing stuff like piracy and rom resources is coming to a close, so even them just seeing lemmy as a fallback plan to keep in mind is a positive move in the long run.

When I looked into real debrid years ago I noped out of it real quick after seeing the payment methods and info demanded that made it difficult to try to make the process as anonymous as possible.

Yep it's been perfect. I'm very happy with this instance and communities.

I did a bunch of downloading of stuff I plan to read before the extensions stop working. Should give me time to wait to see what develops until then.

I use it mainly for manhwa too, since it's really easy to find higher quality manga downloads compared to manhwa with it being webtoon based.

Emulation is king when it doesn't have bugs for sure. I've been running more games through emulation over the switch as it's gotten better for that beautiful fps and resolution jump.

Jail breaking is an option too for the Switch and I've been happy with the experience. Even paying more for a physically modded oled version ends up paying for itself quick considering the price of games.

Yeah, cost of an extra $120 a year to try and get more media out of a legit and already expensive monthly subscription is the point where I'd just scrap it all for a cheaper VPN for pirating. Point of paying for Netflix or Hulu for me would be to not have to do that stuff.

Also, complaining about not having time but wasting their time talking to strangers online. I could understand the perspective from someone who doesn't pirate, but to a pirate it is pretty hilarious seeing them making it out as this incredibly difficult time consuming thing like infomercials do.

 

Finding that torrent sometimes don't download at all despite seeders being present, so having to look around.

I had seen ivpn recommended before, but they don't allow port forwarding anymore.

Also, anyone know what is up lemmy.fmhy.net being down? Found about this checking discuit.net of all places.

This was posted like 12 hours ago on reddit. 1 hour ago on discuit. So quite some time has passed for this to show up here. Never used filecr so had to look it up and it was recommended to people in the past on reddit, so seems potentially concerning.

FileCR Malware So far, malware has been found in the following cracks, but it is likely it is undiscovered in many more downloads because of how large their catalog is.

Found Malware in: KMS Matrix, Windows Activator by GoDaddy and Stardock Star11.

 

I've been using mpc with madvr for years, and the upscaling setting for stuff that isn't 4k.

 

Would installing an OS on an external ssd and booting into that to run pirated software while blocking access to other drives in your system or physically unplugging them be one way?

Or are there better ways to isolate the software you run and use as much as possible?

 

I want to stream mkv files to Android, iOS, Mac, and Windows. Transcoding isn't that important. Just want something convenient.
