telepresence, do piracy w A good place to listen to audio books online?
@telepresence@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

these two tools apparently let you rip borrowed audiobooks from this service named libby. although i haven’t tested them. github.com/ping/odmpygithub.com/bookbonobo/libby-download-extension

also, have you checked the index? stuff like this is usually there.

They asked for audiobook sites online. They’d have to download for that so that wouldn’t work unfortunately. I saved your comment though because it’s still useful.

Looks like a slam dunk, it’s really good to see.

refurbishedrefurbisher, do piracy w Is there a desktop app with similar UX to Cloudstream?

With Stremio, there is no email verification. You can just put in a fake email in the signup and it will go through.

LazyCrow,

Wait, so what’s the account for?

refurbishedrefurbisher,

It tracks your watch history and play positions, syncs across different devices, and can have a watchlist of both movies and TV shows.

Like, you can start an episode of something on your PC, then continue on your phone.

Also syncs all of your addons, including Torrentio and all of its settings.

LazyCrow,

That sounds pretty convenient, although I’m a bit worried about the privacy side, it would seem that making a guest account is a good enough compromise at least

if you login as a Guest User, no personal data is collected whatsoever.

refurbishedrefurbisher,

I don’t worry too much about them collecting data. Not much data to collect, and I’m using fake info.

But yeah, you can totally use a guest account.

SpringStorm, do piracy w Can Skip Redirect be considered redundant if you have uBlock?

Can uBlock also skip redirects? The whole time I’m using it, it doesn’t skip them at all. I use FastForward to skip redirects and it’s been working really well.

I didn’t know FastForward but it looks great, in fact Skip Redirect didn’t work on many sites. And I do not know, it is a comment that I have read a lot but I have never been able to confirm, I only know that at least in my case sometimes the counters of some pages go down to 0 suddenly but I do not know if it is because of uBlock.

SpringStorm,

I didn’t know FastForward but it looks great, in fact Skip Redirect didn’t work on many sites.

I’ve been using FastForward for months and every single time it successfully skips redirects. Though the addon is not on Firefox for now due to some miscommunications. You’d have to install it manually here. But if you’re using Chrome or Edge, you can install it directly from the store.

I have been using it since I read your comment and it is absolutely great, not only because of piracy, but also because of the links attached to some Youtube channels.

pbjamm, do piracy w Proton VPN. How good is it?
@pbjamm@beehaw.org avatar

Their free VPN is good enough that I have not had to purchase their paid version, but I probably will anyway.

myersguy, do piracy w Proton VPN. How good is it?

If you are on Linux and require port forwarding, there is a bit of work that needs to be done.

Otherwise, it’s very solid.

Feathercrown, do games w Why do modern strategy games hate the grid?

Grids definitely make a different type of game. I think BG3 makes sense gridless, but I also enjoy Into the Breach which is very chess-like.

@Cheems@lemmy.world avatar

Oh I mean I never thought of it. I kinda like a grid. But I think that a grid would severely limit bg3

nickiam2, do piracy w What's the best way to rip music off Spotify so that I can store it on my HDD?

DoubleDouble let’s you download from all the major streaming platforms just by giving it a link to what you want downloaded

Valmond,

Cool, what kind of quality would it be?

nickiam2,

It defaults to the highest quality available. Tidal gives you a flac file

ratz30, do games w Why do modern strategy games hate the grid?

Even in tabletop rpgs, I advocate for the removal of the grid. I prefer to do combat in the style of tabletop wargames, free movement in any direction, treating each inch of movement as 5 feet (for D&D and Pathfinder).

I just find that a lot more dynamic.

Glide, do games w Why do modern strategy games hate the grid?

I’vealways seen grids as a way to simplify what is otherwise a challenging mechanic to track and utilize. They function as something of a “good enough” for when you are willing to sacrifice accuracy for simplicity. And there’s something to be said for the way that simplicity can be appealing to the player, as it get some of the more fiddily mechanics out of the way and frees you up to focus on more substantial or engaging mechanics like character builds and team comps.

So, do I miss then when they’re replaced with the more intricate measurement systems that they were designed to simplify? Not really. But I can certainly see why some would feel that way.

SKLauncher allows custom skins and capes

Apeeksiht, do piracy w What's the best way to rip music off Spotify so that I can store it on my HDD?

Actually you can’t ,most downloaders here people suggested download those tracks from youtube.

kamiheku,

See my comment below for tools that do download directly from Spotify.

nixnoodle, do gaming w Switch 2 - launch games?

Regarding Zelda, I would expected them to release an upgraded version of totk, since they often seem to release at least one Zelda game for two generations; TP was on GameCube and Wii, BotW was on Wii-U and Switch. Alternatively, a (super-expensive) 2-pack game with BotW+TotK including DLC?

chipt4,

Maybe a remake of age of oracles/seasons a la link’s awakening? Also the rumored re-release of WWHD & skyward sword.

RandomLegend, do piracy w What's the best way to get German content?
@RandomLegend@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

scenenzbs

houseofusenet

Rykzon,

scenenzbs is great, also has many files with English+German audio, marked as DL or dual language.

RandomLegend,
@RandomLegend@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

I literally wouldn’t pirate anything if it weren’t for scenenzbs (and houseofusenet because they sync their nzb over to scene for the API-Users).

They have everything i want in german and top quality. Never ever have i had such a complete german collection of movies and shows and audiobooks. My wife and i are into audiobooks and they have 99% of the stuff we want.

For everything else i download the .aax file from audibile with another 30 day test account and grab my activation bits to convert to .aac^^

Floete,

So I need a usenet provider (news hosting seems good?) to enter into the download-client (nzbget recommended?) and an indexer (scenenzbs) to enter into prowlarr and I’m good to go? I don’t need a VPN for usenet, right?

Rykzon,

Yes, sometimes it might help to have multiple providers on different backbones if you run into availability issues.

There are currently no legal cases in Germany against Usenet like with copyrighted material and torrenting, that’s mostly because you don’t distribute with Usenet.

000999,

You don’t need the prowlarr part. But yeah just choose a provider (paid), sign in to the the client and download from an indexer. Then unpack the files.

Chewy7324,

I found prowlarr great because it provides stats about how the different indexer perform. This makes it easier to decide which providers I don’t need.
