zahel, do piracy w Why almost every tracker have malware ads?

They don’t. Only shitty trackers. Every tracker I use has zero ads. A thing called private trackers exist. Every good torrent site has zero ads.

If you can’t get in a private tracker and don’t want ads, usenet is better than public trackers anyways.

Private trackers >/= usenet > public trackers

And if you do want to use public trackers, you don’t need to browse their site. Instead you can use their API ad-free with software like Jackett or Prowlarr.

The_Mixer_Dude,

You don’t need to speak in absolutes dude. There are definitely good public trackers out there that use ads. No reason to get all angry about it.

whodoctor11, do piracy w What apps/programs should I get

Google docs is the only (good) free doc editor app

My god, are you crazy? As a editor, LibreOffice Writer is much better and featurefull. The only counterside is the lack of native cloud sync, but there’s workaround in that

wildbus8979, do piracy w What apps/programs should I get

For instance, Google docs is the only (good) free doc editor app, but now that I can, I am trying out several normally paid apps.

Libre Office, which is free and open source, is wonderful and more than adequate in 99% of cases.

editilly,

On mobile I mean, I don’t really use desktop computers all that much. I fully agree that libre is better than ms office on pc

There’s a couple angles you can take on this. My favourite is from the dotCommunist Manifesto:

Society confronts the simple fact that when everyone can possess every intellectual work of beauty and utility—reaping all the human value of every increase of knowledge—at the same cost that any one person can possess them, it is no longer moral to exclude.

Essentially, this argues that the unethical position is the one that creates the false scarcity.

Another less extreme position would be that many countries allow for exemptions for format shifting: if you buy a CD with some music, you’re legally permitted to rip it so long as you don’t distribute copies. One could argue that someone in your position is operating within the spirit of these laws… provided that you haven’t torrented the videos since that necessarily includes some partial distribution.

Finally, the least generous interpretation would point out that you didn’t buy the videos in the first place, but rather a licence to let Vudu stream them to you. Given that you don’t own anything, you’re not morally entitled to own it in a different format. This is why many people have rejected the streaming model.

As someone in camp #1, I think you’re a-ok ethically, but I thought you might want a broader perspective.

After years of hearing so much about the games, I loaded up pokemon on my retro handheld.

Started with Ruby for no reason in particular.

I’m splitting my time between that and D4.

I also have the following games on the back burner at various stages of completion:

Deep rock Galactic LoZ: LTTP Last of Us Part1 on PC Tiny Tina’s wonderlands

There’s more, I’m just too tired to go look at my “recent” queue in steam…

Any suggestions for games that I should play on my retro handheld, it supports everything from neogeo up to ps1… More or less.

FrederikNJS, do piracy w Are there any decent apps i can sideload on to my Android TV for streaming?

Streamio + Torrentio

three, do piracy w Where do i find sea charts for sailing? (Baltic sea)

this is one of those things i wouldn’t pirate. maps and weather are extremely important when sailing and having legitimate sources of these things is something you should be doing. you wouldn’t pirate a first aid kit would you?

PoisonedPrisonPanda,

you should be doing the anti piracy commercials.

knapsackinjury,

I would download a car

000999,

Does paying for something make it better?

Or is that a capitalist illusion?

pedro,

A movie? No

Cultist Simulator. However, finding out how stuff works is half the game…

(The devs also posted a manual meanwhile, that explains the most obsucre mechanics.)

I’m trying to beat Final Fantasy Tactics - I never got past Act 1 as a kid. I’m currently up through Golgarion Execution Grounds. Turns out the secret is to not bomb in all-offense and get nuked into the ground. Who knew?

Cannizzaro, do piracy w What's the best piracy for music?

Hahaha, my computer would catch on fire if I tried running Bauldur’s Gate 3.

Hell, Rollercoaster Tycoon 3 Platinum Edition lags a little whenever I ride a coaster and the camera starts facing all the guests in the best park I have ever designed.

Happened last night and is probably gonna happen again when I eventually boot it up again to work some more on the park. Thankfully it doesn’t whenever I build my absolute monstrosities in the coaster designer mode.
