Draconic_NEO, w Can they even track pirated installs ?
@Draconic_NEO@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Not really, they just go by if the game isn’t selling well, or rather isn’t selling well enough for them, obviously they have to be careful not to do it too aggressively otherwise otherwise they’ll come off as being greedy or whiny about poor sales, which isn’t a good look on any dev (especially if it’s not actually related to piracy, then it hurts their argument).

They’ve just been careful enough to only whip out the crybaby arguments when it’ll work in their favor and seem enough like piracy, as opposed to doing it too much or at the wrong time and seeming salty about low sales (to be fair that’s exactly what’s happening, but people think they know more about who buys vs who pirates, rather than who buys vs who doesn’t).

No longer taking new papers for a couple of years? now. Crying shame and a pox on scientific advancement.

Don’t forget, this is a publicly traded company.

All info from them should only be considered PR until verified through strict testing, which is difficult because it is a black box.

HughJanus, w Can Pirate's Bay be considered "safe" if it is used only for non-executable multimedia content?

You can check justwatch.com to see if it’s available anywhere for streaming or purchase. I dunno how they do it but they’re amazing at tracking this sort of thing.

ChojinDSL, w Is there a way to seed things I have downloaded but already deleted the torrent for?
@ChojinDSL@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

Depending on your client, there may be different directories for complete and incomplete torrents, so you may have to put the downloaded files in the incomplete folder. If your client only checks the incomplete folder when starting a torrent.

bjoern_tantau, w Which cracks and repacs works best on linux?
@bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de avatar

Honestly, nowadays I just pick the first thing I find. It’s been a long while since any of them gave me any trouble. Wine has come a long way.

navi, w I am looking into setting up a home mediaserver. Any good guides?
@navi@lemmy.tespia.org avatar

Don’t forget Prowlarr for managing trackers and downloaders across all of your Arr suite!

blashork, w Which cracks and repacs works best on linux?
@blashork@hexbear.net avatar

there’s a group called johncena141 who do linux specific repacks. They put the windows game in a dwarfs read only compressed archive, and then have an editable layer on top of it where saves and changes get written. The windows games are put into a wine wrapper and then you can run them while they’re still compressed. It’s pretty cool, but can be a bit finicky. Getting dwarfs installed can be a pain depending on your system. I find their stuff can be very hit or miss, but I like that they exist.

Besides that, ymmv with all the other repacks. Sometimes fitgirl works fine for me, sometimes it fucks up completely. Same goes for dodi. though I’ve found dodi to be a bit more reliable on wine than fitgirl.

That’s my two cents on stuff.

theshatterstone54, w If all adblocks get deleted, would you still pirate?

You can disable JS or use LibreJS to disable proprietary JS code.

TheGreatFox, w What are the best alternatives to The Pirate Bay in 2023?

See that sidebar on the right? Click the “Megathread” link there.

Fhek, w What are the best alternatives to The Pirate Bay in 2023?

Whatever is in the megathread.

I was of the impression that the ia doesn’t delete, but instead puts files in quarantine until copyright runs out. Else they’d have to digitize it again later.

Apollo2323, w If all adblocks get deleted, would you still pirate?

Blocking ads its not piracy.

theKalash, (edited )

I think it’s a qoute from some sitcome, I don’t remember where I heard it. But it’s “Not watching the ads is like stealing TV!”. And it’s about just changing the channel during an ad break. It’s clearly a joke, too. But maybe some people actually believe that.

It's quoting Linus Tech Tips. And he's being mostly genuine about it.

Blxter, w Is torrentgalaxy blocking users with adblock?
!deleted4407 avatar

They have really put me off recently often even with adblocker ads show up on the page.

FeelzGoodMan420,
