Yes it’s not even really considered piracy. It creates a fully activated legitimate copy of Windows. It’s just basically a key-gen. It is a trojan in that it works like a trojan would, except it’s verified as safe.

But really you gotta know coming to Lemmy for this you’re just gonna get told to run Linux. So I’ll do it for you. Run Linux. The real trojan MAS creates is a fully activated copy of Microsoft Windows.

What are you even talking about?

Actually please don’t answer.

I use it regularly because it is so far the best free privacy respecting search. But holy shit the lack of features (can’t even do boolean search) is insane

Thats a lot of mental gymnastics to justify a massive overhaul of a system which would open up a whole slate of security issues. I get it, I used to believe strongly in blockchain but so far it seems to be a solution looking desperately for a problem to solve. You cannot “tech” your way out of societal issue.

You don’t fight fascism by accepting that it’s already here and opening the door further.

Refund policy is if you used it at all they don’t refund. So if you watched one stream that counts

Fuck I just bought 6 months zzzz

If you read a modern bible translation from the perspective of christian mythology just as we treat Greek mythology a lot of the stories are actually fantastic reads

Algorithms To Live By, applying computer science and mathematic principles to real life. Helping make better decisions that are provably more efficient. Really interesting and anyone who has any interest in computing can get a lot from the book.

It’s compelling enough that the youtube comments are full of people being actively compelled 85 years later

DBZero is a great option if you like something slightly edgy

It’s the digital equivalent of those sovereign citizens who think the people in charge give a fuck what they think. It makes them feel better.

E-Book growth makes sense as Americans are all going back to school from summer break and students are a very likely group to pirate.

I’m autistic and speak in a monotone. I very rarely speak for the characters at all, most of the time narrating from the 3rd person. I focus primarily on worldbuilding and building engaging encounters

Send them back a clip of you wanking to their email.

For TV and Movies I use Trakt it works great and there are plenty of integrations with my media center.

PodcastGuru works well for me

People get weird about VPNs. I think it’s the way that they’re marketed as security solution which is not really true these days.

I use 5 and I noticed it was hit or miss so I just said fuck it and enabled all of the available lists lol haven’t seen an ad since

Proton and Mullvad have the best privacy record, but I want to suggest a different tool. VPNs are really only useful for tunneling and adding an extra layer of anonymity, there’s no total assurance they won’t rat on you or get breached.

Real-Debrid is a way to torrent without risking ISP shutting down. Other debrid services exist, I just prefer real-debrid. The debrid service does the illegal part and you download over high speed. It’s also more available since you can think of it like a very large scale seedbox. There’s also implementation for most media center apps.

XGH is my way of life.
