    Emulation is king when it doesn't have bugs for sure. I've been running more games through emulation over the switch as it's gotten better for that beautiful fps and resolution jump.

    Jail breaking is an option too for the Switch and I've been happy with the experience. Even paying more for a physically modded oled version ends up paying for itself quick considering the price of games.

    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.

    Biggest evidence of that is Epic will give away games for free, but there will be people who prefer to pay for the Steam version over the free version.

    That's the biggest evidence that piracy is a problem of distribution and goes against the idea that those who pirates are against paying for a product.

    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.

    Yeah, had my first account there and enjoyed it, but afterwards the closure and the down times after return leading to not knowing when the instance was up led to it dying. But, I'm glad the spirit lives for fmhy on db0.

    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.

    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.

Found about this checking discuit.net of all places. This was posted like 12 hours ago on reddit. 1 hour ago on discuit. So quite some time has passed for this to show up here. Never used filecr so had to look it up and it was recommended to people in the past on reddit, so seems potentially concerning. >FileCR Malware >So far, malware has been found in the following cracks, but it is likely it is undiscovered in many more downloads because of how large their catalog is. > >Found Malware in: KMS Matrix, Windows Activator by GoDaddy and Stardock Star11.

    I've been using mpc with madvr for years, and the upscaling setting for stuff that isn't 4k.

    Would installing an OS on an external ssd and booting into that to run pirated software while blocking access to other drives in your system or physically unplugging them be one way? Or are there better ways to isolate the software you run and use as much as possible?

    I want to stream mkv files to Android, iOS, Mac, and Windows. Transcoding isn't that important. Just want something convenient.
