Stumbling over SimpleX again I found now that they do provide a desktop client. It’s just not very obvious on their website/room join with QR code page.

simplex chat only works with/on a mobile phone?

A while ago when I last used it one of the two services worked while the other didn’t. Have you tried both?

Or are you using a webbrowser with no WebAssembly support or WebAssembly disabled?

Does that work? I suspect the DRM content would not show.

Some streaming is not possible even when you can view it on the monitor.

I suspect that happens on the video driver or Windows rendering subsystem - where OBS would capture. I had issues like that trying to stream to my TV IIRC.

A quick search on OBS gives me - supporting my suspicion - https://obsproject.com/forum/threads/unable-to-record-hulu-and-other-drm-digital-rights-media-protected-content.130979/

I like that they were using ALL CAPS and you’re using all lowercase.

I’m not sure what you’re asking, but it seems you’re not aware of the huge AI model field where various AI models are already being publicly shared and adjusted? It doesn’t need piracy to see or have alternatives.

The key to hosted services like ChatGPT is that they offer an API, a service, they never distribute the AI software/model.

Other kinds of AI gets distributed and will be pirated like any software.

Considering piracy “around” them, there’s an intransparent issue of models being trained on pirated content. But I assume that’s not what you were asking.

Unclear whether they were hacked. A followup says:

We [Crunchyroll] have […] investigated the situation, and determined that there is no evidence that Crunchyroll’s systems have been compromised

They may have been fished.

Other than file-sharing or xdcc, where you can search for FLAC,

squid.wtf allows you to download FLACs from select providers.

Items detected as Generic.Malware.AI.DDS can be various types of malware and will be examined and classified at a later stage.

It does not detect is as definite malware, but their trained AI engine seems to conclude or hallucinate a high likelihood. Which may or may not be true.

Or is this actually a virus?

We, you, and they can’t tell from this alone. For a definite answer, a deeper analysis will have to be made.

If you buy the book but listen to it as an audiobook, wouldn’t buying the audiobook in the first place be an option then?

The article you linked answers most of your questions.

1. Relative global upstream traffic went down, but not due to other file-sharing protocols but entirely different applications
2. I2P is not mentioned anywhere in the article, nor any other sharing alternative
3. VPN is mentioned as a potential reason for not being able to identify torrent traffic; VPN has become much more prevalent and promoted in the scene
4. The article says, in piracy, streaming websites are much more popular now

It has not been surpassed by another protocol. The relative numbers don’t say much about absolute numbers or usage.

And 10 % of global internet upload is certainly no irrelevancy.

OP could have included a summary, description, or quote of what they’re referring to and criticizing. They did not.

If you don’t own a Roku device, there’s no reason to read all that. I certainly don’t want to read the full privacy policy either and then guess what OP opened a discussion about or other commenters talk about.

Also, this community is called piracy, not privacy.

I’m confused. The alternative plans are both worse but cost 10 and 15 USD per month while the better one costs 2 USD per month then 4 USD per month? How does that make any sense.

If you do it right, you can have that AI replace all the complicated pirating and downloading process.

How so? I don’t see how that would work.

What are you trying to say about an AI fabricating a whole paper? It must have the same issues all trained statistical text prediction “AI” has: Hallucinations. Even if it’s extended with sources, without validating them the paper text claims are useless when you can’t be sure the source even exists or says what it claims.

There are use cases for AI, but if you are looking for papers for reasoned and documented information, AI is the worst you can use. Because it may look correct, but be confidently incorrect, and you are being misled.

This post is about scientific papers. Not predicted generated text.

Stop stealing my content by reading it! /s

They were pointing out the discrepancy between OP claiming to evade big VPNs while using a big VPN.

They list different languages as “seasons”

Let’s call them seasoning then.

Whenever I follow a link to a subdomain, I like to open the main website.

This one is a highlight https://tsps-express.xyz/
