DarkTides,

As much as I complain about denuvo I still do buy the games even if they do get cracked. I don’t pirate any PC games, since exes are just not something I want to risk. I’ve got a collection of legal games that surpasses the availability of gamepass. PC gamepass advertisement says ‘Play over 100 high-quality games on Windows PC.’ That’s a baby collection compared to what I got in my legal library of games. That’s not even bringing GOG into the mix.

DarkTides,

Why does purpose or ethics matter. It is called piracy and not robin hood.

Whatever the intent, it incentives archival even with selfish purposes across different decentralized sources, which is pretty valuable with that huge amount of data that would be expensive for a centralized entity to archive on their own. Not to mention a single point of failure. So even selfishness is leading to helping history not be lost.

And you think 100 years from now or longer if some random historian comes across some still working storage containing long lost media that a pirate had kept they are going to care about the legality of that at the time?

And don’t forget how much game versions change from launch, so new version is history too. Same for movies and shows and books with how editing has been done that’s led to loss of the original copy. And led to reliance of fans to restore content like Star Wars.

It is happening now with Netflix too where now the pirated versions of some Netflix show is the only way to see what was originally shown.

“We have George Lucas’d things also that people don’t know about,” the siblings told Variety, referring to the Star Wars director’s much-critiqued altered re-releases of the original franchise. “It’s not, like, story, but you’re essentially patching in shots.”

The MCU’s The Falcon and the Winter Soldier is barely a year old, but even the Marvel superhero miniseries isn’t immune from Disney’s re-editing efforts. In March 2022 some devoted Reddit fans discovered that a scene where Bucky throws a pipe through a woman’s shoulder had been altered so that woman falls back on the pipe instead.

14 years… Time doesn’t stand still for that long.

DarkTides,

!freemediaheckyeah

Has a wiki that has some streaming resources to use in the future.

DRM removal tool was taken down from github. If you can, please download it from gitlab before its taken down too

The DRM removal tool to remove DRM from ebooks was taken down from github and will most likely be taken down from gitlab soon as well. The more archives we have the better so im sharing the gitlab in hopes some Datahoarder types will archive it and keep it shared via torrents etc gitlab.com/bipinkrish/DeGourou...

DarkTides,

And if you don’t understand it and you do find yourself needing to do some terminal stuff chatgpt can be helpful breaking down what is going on.

How To Torrent Software Safely (For Dummies) (andscape.notion.site)

I wrote this post for a friend, I’m sharing it here for anybody it might help. I got asked multiple times how I download cracked music software so I figured it’d be easier to write it down once. It’s meant for people with very low technical skills who just want to start torrenting software without major risks, and it...

DarkTides,

I dedicated an old laptop running Linux to pirating material. Can get all the programs I need right from the included software app that is in a lot of distros to get Qbittorent and Jdownloader. Linux is awesome.

DarkTides,

Thanks to lemmy.dbzer0.com/u/ober found that ipleak.net can be used to check if you VPN is leaking your IP before proceeding with torrenting.

And also using Qbittorrent to tie the client to the VPN by going to Tools > Preferences > Advanced and changing network interface to your VPN.

DarkTides,

Interesting, but I’m confused how it can be applied to piracy.

DarkTides,

Nothing would surprise me these days after seeing a Skyrim mod with an AI companion you can talk to.

DarkTides,

Thank you for making quick moves to protect us!

DarkTides,

Mastodon place for announcement would probably be ideal than another lemmy instance in case a vulnerability that affects them all causes issues.

DarkTides,

I’m going to need look up the different contacts available to keep in the loop on instances I like in case something happens again. Don’t want to have to go back to reddit to try and find news on their status haha

DarkTides,

Yeah, my most treasured subs started their own instances here with fmhy and piracy, so I’ve been fine without reddit. Just need to secure those alternate communication channels and I’ll be able to not go back to Spez.

DarkTides,

Need back buttons. Can’t go back to controllers without them.

DarkTides,

Wow that is incredible. This will increase immersion a lot.

Celestial Event Calendar - July 2023

I’m going to kick off a monthly series highlighting some of the astronomical events that will be easily visible each month. Please feel free to make suggestions of anything that I missed, or if you have a particular celestial object that is visible now that you think is worth checking out, please let it below....

DarkTides,

Me too. I need to get far away from all this light pollution so I can see the stars in all its beautiful glory again with my own eyes.

DarkTides,

Got to be an RC Car with how its moving. Now I want to go get an RC car to play around with.

DarkTides,

Absolutely vital for anyone who uses an ebooks.

DarkTides,

Just go to be sure the download the clean adware free version from what I remember. Easy for Linux though since it is available in the repo. On windows I think you go to the page jdownloader.org/jdownloader2

Been a long time since I used it on Windows.

DarkTides,

Orange reminds me of Half Life. Why can’t there be a Half Life 3 😢

DarkTides,

This one reminds me of Berserk. That’s definitely Guts.

DarkTides,

Could ask the guy and he might do it. I love his tutorials, and would probably love the opportunity to make more content.

DarkTides,

Check the megathread on the side it has everything.

But, from what is recommended on there I have found torrentgalaxy coming close to rarbg.
