I honestly don't believe I will have any legal trouble because I don't do anything like cp or worse, I just pirate media I like, not even porn. But across users of communities, or on public trackers, is IP exposure something to be concerned about?
Oh man, normally I don't respond to these kinds of posts because I'm always worried I'll just be helping someone that does CP. BUt, since you 100% definitely don't, which I think is really cool that you don't btw, I'm going to give you the advice that you shouldn't be concerned about IP exposure.
I just want the convenience store clerk to finally get arrested because he failed to review the customer's medical records before selling him the red bull that put him into cardiac arrest. It's time to have more thorough disclosure between merchant and customer everywhere. Time has shown over and over that anonminmity is only beneficial for criminals to abuse well intentioned systems.
They've gotten away with Sesta / fosta with flying colors, so why not, people are more complacent than ever now. If I were their lawyer I'd tell them to strike now with this too and mention something about thinking about the children for extra street cred. Since I'm not their lawyer though, I'll tell them to suck my ass.
Its good to see congress focusing on the real issues finally. When I pay taxes, this is what I'm looking for. Hopefully they will get around to legalizing kicking homeless people and children in the face soon as this is another one of my priorities.
You do you, but any way you slice it Gimp is inferior to PS except for cost. My shipmates and I use piracy to level that field.
I'm all for FOSS for privacy, security, diversity, competition, and niche applications that have minimal profit potential. I'm still going to use the best tools available to me though be they FOSS or otherwise.

Is a nvidia shield still the best? Are there others? I'd like to play various 4k HDR video files. Which one to buy? Any recommendations? Nvidia shield looks very much outdated but there's nothing new....
Really? I'm skeptical. Long time shield pro and shield owner and most of us love the thing but it's kind of a hackers toy and we usually have something to bitch about with it too.
Mine needs fairly frequent resets and has some funky ethernet connection behavior and both devices have had some weird behavior with projectivity launcher startup.
Getting to ops point though, I would wait a few months and see what the next apple TV release coming up looks like. Expectations are low but if it doesn't completely dissapoint, I am actually considering it in hopes of that butter smooth performance.
Yeah Hulu is buggy on a lot of things but notoriously terrible on Shield and has been for years. It almost feels like they're trying to break it on Shield. Years of hulu updates and you think one would maybe accidentally improve it's performance at least.
My pro is aging a little better than my shield tube but I'm still partial to the wacky rugged design of the tube.
I've got some DOOM WADs I have been meaning to play so I would probably grab Trench Foot, Total Chaos, and the sequel to Ashes 2063, Ashes: Afterglow with a portable install of GZDoom to play them....

I need to pirate this book thats over 1000 pages. I already have the pdf but I really want a physical copy and the book costs too much for me. Even if I have to buy a bunch of ink (the book has no pictures) and even if I wear out the printhead before the job is done, it's still going to be cheaper to do this. My printer has been...
Didn't know last fm was still around. I ditched them after they were breached. Musicbrainz is an apt alternative. I'm still bummed about how bad AI is at recommending similar songs /a artists. I'll grab random stuff and stuff from Musicbrainz recommendatiins. I definitely delete stuff I don't like, not for saving space but mainly just to keep my library tight. I also have nightmares about being in a coma and someone finding my music collection and thinking it's something I really like but really it's 80% garbage that I can't stand and they play it for me in a loop for weeks and I can't tell them to stop because of coma. I'm also pretty vocal in my life about not really liking country music, not because I want to be a judgemental jerk about it, but mainly because of the coma thing, and I want to make sure I'm not stuck listening to that in the coma.
It's good for similar artist recommendations, but I typically prefer looking for music by similar track. There's not a way to do this with brainz is there?
I'm pretty happy with Tidal's feature for this but always looking for others.
Bullshit. Make it reasonably priced, fast and easy to access, no bullshit, clean interface, no ads, great customer support, and I'll rip this parrot right off my mother lovin shoulder.

I wanted to get my mom YouTube Premium for her birthday but don't want to pay the ridiculous annual price for my country (especially since she mostly just watches YouTube shorts).

Always but I abandoned iphones years ago when the cat and mouse game got to be too much. To stay consistently jailbroken requires some serious dedication.
You all remember just a few weeks ago when Sony ripped away a bunch of movies and TV shows people “owned”? This ad is on Amazon. You can’t “own” it on Prime. You can just access it until they lose the license. How can they get away with lying like this?
Oh, whoops. I read it as them explicitly telling me to pirate it. Yeah of course they aren't going to let you actually own it. That doesn't come close to making sense.
In the end, the KIA car company made its cars into subscription models, I really hate this because in the end the car we buy with our own money doesn't feel like it belongs to us....
The crazy thing is that at the price you are paying for a friggin telluride they could easily raise the price by a few hundred (ie several years worth of subscription) and it would be unlikely to shift sales by much at all but would not piss off the buyers like this. You can't put this crap on your car loan either.
I really get the sense there is a conspiracy level concerted effort to try to indoctrinate generation Z into allowing every corporation they deal with to stick an IV into their bank accounts.
If you are clever, confident, and savvy about it I think you could get your next car for free. If there was a kickstarter type project where I could pledge an amount in support of a jailbreak for a car I owned or was thinking of getting, I'd pledge a decent amount, I think a lot of people would.
I use Radarr and Sonarr for my movies/shows, and Spotify for music, but I do know there's another *arr app for that. The question is, is it worth setting up and how easy is it to discover new/similar music as opposed to Spotify, given that Spotify isn't expensive at all. And how do you fellow crewmen go about it?
Try how that feels? Almost all sites have sample content. I think what you are asking is to spend a weekend with some Jergens and torrents are best for that but yeah this is a heavily monitized niche still, free content is a little limited.
I for one want to be in compliance. Here is my IP, I checked it in Microsoft windows so it is correct. 192.168.0.1
Text me at that IP if I need to pay a fine or if I need to go to my local jail. Thanks guys, I'm sorry I pirated and I will re upload all the movie films that I downloaded to try to make this right.
