I did a bunch of downloading of stuff I plan to read before the extensions stop working. Should give me time to wait to see what develops until then.

I use it mainly for manhwa too, since it’s really easy to find higher quality manga downloads compared to manhwa with it being webtoon based.

Yeah, cost of an extra $120 a year to try and get more media out of a legit and already expensive monthly subscription is the point where I’d just scrap it all for a cheaper VPN for pirating. Point of paying for Netflix or Hulu for me would be to not have to do that stuff.

Also, complaining about not having time but wasting their time talking to strangers online. I could understand the perspective from someone who doesn’t pirate, but to a pirate it is pretty hilarious seeing them making it out as this incredibly difficult time consuming thing like infomercials do.

What are you pirating that makes it so hard? I don’t bother with software or programs so it’s just pretty much looking at what’s newly released and torrenting it.

Why even pirate if it’s that much of a pain? Pretty much same logic to me a someone who complains about how confusing pc gaming is. I’d point to the consoles.

Really? I could understand that point from someone not in the piracy community, but doesn’t seem any more time consuming than posting on lemmy. Not really starved for time if someone is spending their time on social media.

Mind you I don’t pirate software or games, so maybe that’s why. Pretty much hardest has been waiting for download to finish.

The hunt is part of the fun. Like how people will opt to build a PC or a keyboard over a pre-built or pull out vinyl over digital. The steps taken to retrieve and enjoy the media is sometimes a relaxing process.

Has links to Nintendo games there and also shows archive.org source for them too.

Piracy is timeless.

I love qbittorent. I love that it’s in the Linux repo too.

Decentralization has always been the way for piracy, since many places inevitably go down throughout the years but it being spread out is what keeps everything from being taken down by a single closure. So while not convenient it makes it more resilient.

Start revolution and overthrow dictator and put myself in as dictator. Build up military and gather nukes under guise of protecting country, but it’s really to protect me from copyright trolls.

You forgot the most important part. They are pro DRM… Wtf

Only roms and syncthing to sync saves. I love syncthing.

One of my favorite past times is reading people freaking out about the rising costs, while I sit completely unaffected thanks to the high seas.

Turns out beehaw is more based than world.

It’s comedy how wishy washy they are on not federating with Meta despite bunch of their users saying they hate Facebook and Zuck but are convinced to defederate from us by a single post from such a suspicious account.

Don’t need lemmy world anyways. This is the most based instance on the entire fediverse. Their loss.

Never thought beehaw would end up being more based than lemmy world.

It’s their lemmy instance that’s been having issues since they made the new one after losing the ml domain.

They don’t make threads often on reddit so maybe a bot that crossposts here would be good to have, since if they do it’s probably something important.
