iHUNTcriminals, (edited ) do piracy w If all adblocks get deleted, would you still pirate?

It would just bring back street crime and physical boosting and robbery. Same thing for blocking porn… all the creepy 70/80/90s shit would come back…

theKalash,

I really hate ads, too. But I don’t think I would be turning to street crime because of them.

iHUNTcriminals, (edited )

Idk I guess I mean like boosted vendors. In 90s and early 00 I used to go to expos or even certain street vendors and they would have boosted or ripped movies and software.

And in terms of porn I mean sex spots scattered around cities and towns.

theKalash,

But why would this happen because of ads?

I don’t see this direct link between adblockers and being able to pirate stuff.

That does appear to be the case at this moment.

Sidenote, I have a feeling that’s straight up illegal under contract law. IANAL though.

Edit: Just so ppl have something specific: you bought access to the service. It’s probably gonna be limited in the User Agreement as “if this service has to be shut down, you agree to lose your access and you don’t sue to get your money back”. But this is a backend migration and I’m fairly sure this is not something they had in their original contracts. That’s why sniff a broken contract and when they don’t refund your money, I sniff broken laws.

If it’s not, it should be.

We can write laws and vote then into power, we can fuck up whatever company we want to.

MalReynolds, do piracy w Can Pirate's Bay be considered "safe" if it is used only for non-executable multimedia content?
@MalReynolds@slrpnk.net avatar

It has to be executed to have any danger, so you’d need a zero day exploit for your media player, even then it should be contained at user level rather than system. I’ve not really heard of it happening, but it’s theoretically possible I guess, would take a really bad coding mistake. Keep your players updated and you should be fine.

You can try a private DNS, easy to set up in Android and blocks ads in most apps and browsers

Libredns

Mullvaddns

can,

Are there downsides to using these?

hellequin67,

None that I can think.

They’re no slower from what I see on daily use and both are privacy focused.

panmeek, do piracy w Separate qBittorent admin container?
@panmeek@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

I’m not sure if that’s what you mean but if you’re using docker compose there’s a variable called WEBUI_PORT

matey,

That just changes the port of the bundled UI; it doesn’t allow you to connect a UI to a separate client.

oops sorry my bad

JebanuusPisusII,

Do you want to have a single UI for multiple clients?

matey,

Other way around - I want to have multiple UIs for a single client.

Sina, (edited ) do piracy w A way to disable laugh tracks?

I don’t recommend doing this. The dialog is far worse with the awkward gaps of silence.

I remember watching a few short vids on Youtube where people were making claims that Friends is unfunny garbage without without the laugh track, but the truth is the awkward silences kill all jokes.

Nerd02,

Are you good, mate? Is it just my instance or this comment got posted four times within the span of 30 seconds?

gibson,

Two generals problem handled poorly by lemmy. User probably saw an error of some sort when trying to post, but it was actually posting correctly.

Sina,

It’s exactly this! I was using the mlem app on iOS & it gave me a “posting error” message, so I tried a few times before giving up!

I mean, there are still private, adfree trackers and things and I’ve been pirating before even Napster was a thing and the Internet was rife with malicious ads and popups. If anything, I’d pirate harder out of spite.

Even if they do remove them from the official stores, you can always go straight to the source and sideload it.

das, do piracy w Ripping Audible Audiobooks
@das@lemellem.dasonic.xyz avatar

I used Libation. It’s free, it’s open source and it worked great for me

conciselyverbose, do piracy w Ripping Audible Audiobooks

I think there are probably some that were loaned via audible plus or whatever, but audible says I have 440 audiobooks. Backing up the couple hundred I actually bought would be nice.

spencer, do piracy w Ripping Audible Audiobooks

I’m personally a big fan of OpenAudible. It’s not free, but it’s not crazy expensive and it does all the work for you. You sign into your Audible account in the app, it will pull your library, download each book, decrypt it, and convert it to the format of your choice (I usually do M4B). I’ve been using it for years and it makes downloading your Audible library in an ongoing basis a breeze.

all-knight-party, do games w Controllers with paddles?
@all-knight-party@kbin.cafe avatar

Tons of third party controllers for any system clone existing buttons, which is nice when the official controllers don't have that. Something interesting about doing this on a switch is that because each joy con is its own independent controller you can only map each joy con to an input from the same joy con, for example, the left wouldn't be able to map to face buttons, and the right wouldn't be able to map to the d pad.

I use a Steam Controller on PC and really enjoy being able to map anything to it which helps being able to play games how I want. Cloning buttons is great for the whole "retain joystick movement while hitting a face button", but without being able to directly map different game controls to it it's just a copy of an existing function you already have.

I would love for grip buttons to be normalized and allow for more controls in games, it's pretty much the last part of my hands that aren't doing anything on a modern controller layout.

Métro 2033, the library level will make him shit his pants. And the game is probably not going to make him have nightmares from gorish horror too

Knusper, do games w PSA: If you still have a Mojang account for Minecraft: Java Edition, you have less than a week left to migrate to a Microsoft account to avoid profile deletion

For anyone left behind, Minetest is a community-developed alternative.

It’s more of a game engine/launcher + highly moddable, so the base game is rather minimalistic, but you can simply install more extensive games. For example, for a very Minecraft-like experience, MineClone2 is your best bet.
