Agreed. I know it must be inconvenient to come across this thing. But people have to realize, it is done for a reason.

You wouldn’t want anyone to pretend they’re you online and ruining your credibility and reputation.

NO! I’ve got something better!

We make the ads guilt you into using ad blockers! Then we pepper your active streaming with ADs every 30 seconds! YOU WILL BUY! YOU WILL CONSOOME!

There are people who are hired specifically to pad reviews. They’re easy to spot though. Every 5 star review reads exactly the same even if it’s different wording.

“This app changed my life!”

“I was looking for so long to have an app like this so I’m happy this app exists!”

“This app is so easy to use and install, I don’t understand why people are complaining about it”

If you want true honesty, read some of the 3 star reviews and below.

I cleaned the cache like 2 or 3 days ago. Even then, because of my browsing habit that would’ve made it go to a gig again, ProtonMail still loaded fine.

And not 2 minutes longer after posting this - ProtonMail worked. I don’t know sometimes, I just don’t with these things.

The image says otherwise, fuckwad. Now shut up and eat the 5 days.

It’s 5 days dude, get over it.

It’s been like this for quite some time now.

And anytime you use a browser, you’ll always be nagged to continue viewing through browser or use their app. It comes up so obnoxiously and I swear it slows you down. They also make the viewing experience subpar unless you use the app.

One would think, that if these sites and anywhere that applies Captcha at all, that if there were puzzles to solve to tell the difference between Bot or Human. That a human would have a likely chance to mess it up, whereas a Bot or AI are designed to do things flawlessly.

I bet the creator of Captcha didn’t have the thought process to think about that.

Curious, I checked out Chris Dodd and wonder what he’s up to. He’s a close advisor now to Biden so I’d imagine he’s whispering in Biden’s ear and whoever will listen, about how much of piracy is ‘bad for ya’. In case anyone forgot, Chris Dodd was a major asshole during his 6 year stint (2011 - 2017) with MPAA and he ultimately failed in stopping piracy.

I don’t think this latest tactic will work. Congress couldn’t even understand Facebook and they couldn’t even hold Mark Zuckerberg of all people, accountable for his shit. Congress, MPAA and all the forces in the world couldn’t stop Kim Dotcom. MPAA, ACE and whatever, still cannot shut down The Pirate Bay.

They’ll just keep bashing their heads on the brick wall. The only victories they’ve gotten in all of the 20+ year decade war on piracy, is that most times, the sites go down because of lack of funding and support. They only take down big sites because they’ve found weak links or they’ve found those run-a-mouth pirates who’ve gotta go around talking shit about pirating to the point where they’re a liability then wonder why their favorite service/site is shut down.

Riiiiiight, Linux community is friendlier. I wouldn’t really call them that, though some aspects are. My problem still with the entirety of the Linux community that will always put me off about Linux and rather tolerate Windows more is the elitism. I have used Linux OSes before, I have my fair share of favorites and I see Linux as a go-to whenever I pick up computers too old to bother with Windows 10 and 11 and I just simply want a bare basics machine.

But I cannot in full faith, use Linux as my primary OS. I’ve tried. I can’t do it. There are simply things on Windows that I need and want to use that’ll simply just run and that’s what I want the most is for things to just run. It isn’t because I’m too dumb to use a Linux OS. It’s because I don’t have the patience or time to be weeding through forum posts, deciphering depositories and repositories, figuring out what obscure and vague message the terminal sends me and spending time on Google.

Besides this whole chart doesn’t make a load of sense. Like the whole “you’ll own what you buy”? What does that have to do with D&D and Pathfinder? I don’t get it.

Some of what you’ve listed isn’t exactly confusing - they’re just pirates who are gamifying piracy and in the honest pirating ways - that’s disrespectful.

Direct downloading can be easy but also not easy. File sharing sites do adhere to requests from copyright holders or anyone filing complaints will get the content taken down in time. The biggest blow of this is Uloz where you could practically find anything on it and download, at the cost of spending time if you don’t want to pay for speedy downloads.

But most of the time, direct downloading is a whack a mole game. Maybe people aren’t telling others because they could be sharing outdated information, almost nobody can be sure whether the content will still be there. Furthermore, it is frustrating because you have to weed through so much bullshit like ads, redirect links and more just to get to a single working DDL link. I’d know, I’ve done this many times.

The short answer is yes, but you’ll have to get used to the reality that Nintendo themselves will not be there for you if anything goes wrong down in those 20 years. There will be third-party fixers and a community of people who’ll probably have things made for replacements.

You are far better off using a Switch as opposed to a DS. You can emulate more on a Switch than a DS.

No because this was probably part of their plan to corrode the world.

I’ll just assume the article had nothing worthwhile to read. Thanks for sparing my time!

I’m starting to see some drinks and packages of food even have calories varied. For example, I’ll buy a monster java drink of the irish blend flavor. One can will be 190 and another can will be 180. They’ll both have the same nutrients.

We are seriously now beginning to slip in keeping this shit consistent and it worries me.

There was a resounding chorus of “DUUUUUUUUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH” that echoed across the land as Netflix discovers this reality.

Buddy, go bitch at the author who wrote the article that plastered all over what we’re responding about.

And my point still stands - they CAN’T prove that those IP addresses would be from frontier. It’s a huge whack a mole game they’re getting themselves into.

So, okay.

Let’s say these film studios DO get ‘permission’ or ‘access’ of these IPs. Haven’t we already proven in the court of law that IP Address does not equal a person? How come that is? Well, it’s because people can hide under VPNs, they could use proxies, they could use open wi-fi, they can change their address by ISP request .etc

They aren’t assigned permanent IPs and they aren’t tied to their IPs through identity.

This whole effort is just a waste of their time, proving once again, that they’re desperate for anything.

On the other hand, the r/piracy subreddit is full of entitled jackasses who pick you apart for stupid arbitrary reasons. I’ve posted news posts on there before as a means to inform the pirating community as to what to look for in case things could go wrong in the future, as a lead. And any time, people kept commenting like “WHUT DUS DIS HAVE TU DU WITH PIWACY?!” every fucking time.

I’d spell it out for them, I get downvoted, I get my post reported and it’s removed. Seriously, fuck all of those e-begging pieces of shit.

Especially with how much it holds your hand in understanding how it works. I’d know, because I’ve used the damn thing.

I think the people getting stung by the commentary here, are really people who I’ve personally called out in my comment alone. They also don’t like the truth of what’s being told in general as well.

I’ve pirated for over 16 years myself and I know my end goal was always to get free shit, but it became more than that where I’ve started to pay attention about the scope of pirating. I got better and understood better as I went along. In other words, I’m more of a wary pirate these days than stupidly bumbling myself around and relying on all of these services to stay up forever, for my leisure.

The worst I’ve ever gotten in my entire history of pirating was just an ISP letter. A single letter. I didn’t get fined, arrested, raided, dragged to court or anything. Done it all in America, the place where it was a hotbed where a lot of that was going on with other people caught downloading and uploading.

And I side with all of the pirates who’re fighting a good fight by keeping the practice alive and duping the entertainment industry at every turn. I side with other wary pirates who’d scoff and cold shoulder the idiots who refuse to learn, hell that’s why some places are fucking invite only, for christ sake! They don’t want stupid scrubs coming into their turf and fucking things up for the rest of them and asking a hundred dumb questions they’ve don’t got the time to answer. Especially when they’ve been answered as much as it’s been asked!
