piracy

can, 10 miesięcy temu w A way to disable laugh tracks?

No doubt AI will be able to remove it soon if not already.

Now the practicality of that is another matter.

bullbrand, 10 miesięcy temu w What is your go to music grabbing solution?

Nicotine+ to grab what I want, EasyTAG to edit metadata, move the files to my self hosted instance of Ampache which I can then access either with SublimeMusic on desktop or SubStreamer on my phone if I’m traveling.

callyral, 10 miesięcy temu w If all adblocks get deleted, would you still pirate?

Not much of a pirate, but I do like blocking ads. In that situation, here are some browsers I believe would still have ad blocking capabilities.

Firefox-based browsers:

• Librewolf (privacy-focused; comes with uBlock Origin)
• Tor (don't know much about it, but it probably would have ad blocking still)

Chromium-based:

• Vivaldi (it appears they have built-in ad blocking; closed source though)
• Bromite (mobile; not sure if still continued)

the only case i could see it stopping someone is if they just pirate for funsies and have the disposable income to buy anything they want lmao. if you need something and cant afford it then inconveniences and annoyances don’t matter

Never head of I2P, sounds pretty cool. I’ve just stuck to encryption for torrents and haven’t had any complaints from my ISP.

Glad to see that working still! Torrenting over I2P is sort of a fail-safe option for people in somewhat oppressive places where VPNs may be illegal. Also, with the recent port-forwarding removal in Mullvad, this makes it harder moving forward to try and seed content without being able to make a direct connection with open ports.

Seconding the DNS suggestion. Specifically I set my DNS to dns.adguard-dns.com and that does the trick for mobile games and such.

Duolingo stull shows an ad for the premium if no external ad is available iirc

radix, 10 miesięcy temu

Ohh, got it. Yeah, I don’t know of a way to get rid of that. I’d guess Revanced, but I haven’t used it myself.

Skoobie, 10 miesięcy temu w If all adblocks get deleted, would you still pirate?

Ads have never stopped me. Reasonable pricing to access content stopped for me for several years tho. Fuck you, Zaslav.

juliebean, 10 miesięcy temu w If all adblocks get deleted, would you still pirate?

i have no idea what connection you think there is between piracy and adblockers. if anything, wouldn’t killing all adblockers encourage more piracy, not less?

Jerbil, 10 miesięcy temu w If all adblocks get deleted, would you still pirate?

I don’t see how these two things correlate. Private trackers don’t have ads on them and many public ones that require an account don’t either. Are you still downloading things through a browser with jdownloader?

Apollo2323, 10 miesięcy temu w If all adblocks get deleted, would you still pirate?

Blocking ads its not piracy.

theKalash, 10 miesięcy temu (edited 10 miesięcy temu)

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.

Kissaki, 10 miesięcy temu w [Request] Remove ads from Duolingo?

Using a DNS that blocks ad domains works for blocking third party apps. The duolingo video ad still shows up though.

DNS is a OS setting.

Closing an reopening the app works too as a workaround. Progress is saved on completion, before the ad.

zbecker, 10 miesięcy temu (edited 10 miesięcy temu) w If all adblocks get deleted, would you still pirate?

@XeryBlox most people who pirate a lot have automated setups that auto download every. The software stack that's commonly used is *Arr.

Sonarr for TV, Radarr for movies and lidarr for music.

There are also no ads when you go to the trackers directly via the API. Same for usenet indexers

Vaggumon, 10 miesięcy temu w If all adblocks get deleted, would you still pirate?

I pirate cause the companies that produce what I want are greedy shit bags not because of ads.

iHUNTcriminals, 10 miesięcy temu (edited 10 miesięcy temu) 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, 10 miesięcy temu

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

iHUNTcriminals, 10 miesięcy temu (edited 10 miesięcy temu)

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, 10 miesięcy temu

But why would this happen because of ads?

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