Can’t wait for Americans becoming refugees on other countries en masse and getting a taste of the bitter medicine that was the way they treated foreign migrants for decades.

Seems we had a similar idea –

Currently seeding all these.

In my country it is decriminalised unless you’re doing it at a very large scale and charging money, so I’m home free.

My ISP does block most torrent trackers – But changing DNS providers is enough to get around that.

Depends what country you’re in

I’ve made local copies of the code base and executables for both emus. Just in case.

Not that I think it’s needed per se. Projects were open source, and while the devs are barred from continuing application development… It’s a matter of time before the dust settles and some nerds pick up the code base and work on it

(for now any forks are just copy pastes made by randos, but that’s now)

Small exception for when two for profit companies are fighting each other. At that point it becomes a question of which is the lesser evil.

For some reason I won’t even pretend to comprehend, it remains the industry default in Brazil. Might be in a couple other countries too. Adobe Illustrator is the “other one”, if you follow.

Finally: ClosedSubtitles

EDIT: Also, MAN, a lot of straight up bootlicking in this thread. What the fuck kind of pirates are you? lmao

Imma be a weirdo here: I use Emby.

Afaik you are not correct. Copyrights for a corporation also have an expiration date.

Except – The expiration date can be extended by just continuing to use the IP – Ever wondered why movies get remakes/reimaginings every 30 years or so? We meme about them being “Out of ideas”, but really it’s so they can hold down their copyright.

My tipping point was actually how trigger-happy Windows Defender is about crack software and how you literally cannot meaningfully disable it without first breaking apart the entire OS. – Only do a temporary turn-off that only lasts until the next time the computer is turned on. Or another less temporary turn-off that lasts until the next system update. Which. Fuck off. I can tell a feature that is working against me from how hard it is for me to get rid of it.

I won’t be one of those liars who tells you “Linux is eaaaaaaaaasy, you’ll get it in no time”

It’s a skillset. You’ll have to learn stuff. You’ll have to browse wikis and ask for help on Discord servers and fucc around a lot. Plus it has this thing that when something works it works really well, and when something doesn’t work, boy are you in for a capital-F-fun afternoon.

But it keeps me happy with how much I can customize my experience to my own personality, and how fast and smooth it is, even on my old, beat-up laptops.

Still keep a windows install around for those days when I need some application that doesn’t exist on Linux, doesn’t have a viable alternative, and won’t play ball with Wine/Proton. But those are becoming rarer and rarer. Maybe one day I’ll be rich enough to have a computer with several GPUs and I’ll virtualize Windows instead of dual-booting it.

Depicted: Why I’ve been trying to violently cut away Windows’ presence in my life.

“Security” features that add no security whatsoever and only exist for DRM reasons
