How come people are willing to download and install pirated software though? How can one be confident that it does not contain malicious addons? Are people just don’t know the risks? Or...

Anybody know how to play pirated Windows games on Linux? I recently installed Lubuntu (22.04.2 Jammy Jellyfish) on my ancient laptop and all the guides I can find and trying out Lutris only seem to apply to “legit” copies bought from the official sources....

I finally decided that I would get into One Piece. However, nearly all the torrent sites just have literal THOUSANDS of magnets for the latest episode, and a few here and there of various seasons. But I can’t seem to find anything before 2021 except for a rare one off episode....

With Netflix and other streaming platforms increasing price, I finally decided to get a seedbox for my family members’ needs with Plex/jellyfin....
