Want to put some economic incentive to pirating? Make it a shared / solidarity pool. Or get in touch with a state / nation that has more active interest on digital sovereignty and preservation so that it can be set up as some sort of UBI.

cracking the games

to put some DRM on them

to sell them

Fam, half the point of pirating is getting harmful middlemans out of the way. If I wanted a game and it was available on the Cracked Store for, say, $10 plus $15 for the DRM unlock, I'd just go to 1337x or somesuch to get the normal pirated version.

I feel so silly that I wouldn't even know how to describe it.

I know! I'll pirate hundreds of books from well-known authors so that I can easily find a useful metaphor.

If Meta can pirate stuff, then the Internet Archive can pirate stuff and I can also pirate stuff. Fair is fair.

Where do you find such downloads? Most torrent sites I've seen barely give you anythng under 720p that is not 480p (or 144p 3gp for the lulz value, I guess?) these days.

Huh, didn't know the 3DSXL could do 480p well, I always thought its limits were at about 360p (or 400p if such a profile existed). Can I ask how do you perform such encoding? Like, what encoder and options are you using. Oh and the battery usage. It's for a book.

Dealing out the harsh truths I see!

veniasilente , to cats in Hey guys, did you miss Šaškė?

I mean I too would also be very sociable if I could live rent-free on a patterned rug. :p

It's good to see her well. And thanks for the pronunciation guide!

So that means, since I'm paying it whether I pirate or not, I might as well pirate, right?

Public funding, public access!

A sad day, but nothing that can't be fixed by reuploading the files.

veniasilente , to cats in Hey guys, did you miss Šaškė?

omg! Precious! May I ask what is the correct way to pronounce her name?

Šaškė

I recall she is not a Darth Emo cat, but she is still lovable. o3o

Also, p good fit with her and that checkered pattern rug.

That's why I don't have monitor dashboards 😎

ATM I'm using Quad9 and OpenNIC but I'm not sure how much of everything do they cover. I'm also not well aware of any other good "flat DNS" alternative (aka: one you can put right into your /etc/resolv.conf / Windows LAN config, without need of extra internal service).

Never question the bravery of the French. They discovered snails are edible.

As for their intelligence on the other hand...

veniasilente , to Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ in Patrick Breyer and Pirate Party lose EU Parliament seats

We need to use other methods than voting.

Funnily enough the French are from Europe and they put forth some handy tools!
