When the people are being beaten with a stick, they are not much happier if it is called “the People’s Stick.”

I was having déjà vu for a minute there… saved me from having to check :)
Yeah, FreeTube has been really solid for me. I’m dreading the day YouTube go the server-side ad injection route. It’s surely inevitable, unless the costs to implement it outweigh the lost ad revenue maybe?
In this video I discuss how Korean Telecom (aka KT Corp) deployed malware to the PC’s of 600k of their customers who were using bittorrent applications to share files with one another. [Mental Outlaw]
If this checks out, and it seems to, this is the craziest shit I’ve ever heard of an ISP doing.

Aye exactly mate, down with the mega corps!
1337x.to is generally fine to use, just be sure to check the notes on the Megathread and use your common sense.
Context
- When signing up on the 1337x platform, it’s crucial to bear in mind that it’s accessible to all users.
- The act of downloading movies and TV shows is often regarded as safe. This is primarily because these files do not come in .exe format, thus reducing the likelihood of virus infection.
Risk
- It’s highly advisable to be careful when downloading games and software from the site unless you have total confidence in the uploader’s trustworthiness. Avoid uploaders like IGGGames due to their notorious track record of distributing malware.
- Opt for reputable uploaders like DODI Repacks, FitGirl Repacks, and KaOsKrew to ensure reliable content and mitigate any potential risks associated with unverified sources.
That’s great, thanks for making this, and for going to the trouble of making an account here just to update the wiki. Awesome stuff :)
Plus, add it to the wiki or I can do it for you 👍
Lol yes, they actuallyproudly call themselves that! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Pirate_Party
One option worth checking out is Jackett. You can configure it to search multiple sources at once, and sort by the number of seeders to check for torrent health. You can integrate Jackett search into QBittorrent and/or the *ARR stack for a more seamless experience.
Omg poor publishers not able to make a 2000% markup on their textbooks as per usual - think about the CEOs’ bonuses guys!

In publishers’ ongoing fight to shutdown pirate sites, Cengage, Elsevier, Macmillan Learning, and McGraw Hill filed a lawsuit on June 5 accusing Google of promoting pirated copies of their textbooks. In the suit, the publishers are seeking unspecified monetary damages as well as a court order to prevent Google from engaging in further copyright infringement.
Can confirm, it’s only the piracy communities that are blocked, and we are still otherwise federated with lw. It’s not really a big problem as far as we are concerned, they can pick and choose whatever communities suit their instance. We will have lost some clicks and visibility from them, but at the end of the day, it’s not going to affect our share price lol.
So long as you are getting m0nkrus’ software from the links here then you should be ok. There is no 100% guarantee of safety though with any pirated software. All I can say is that many people here have been using m0nkrus’ releases literally for years without ever experiencing any viruses or malware.
Bear in mind that it is fairly common practice for software vendors to post claims of viruses in cracked versions of their software, to scare people off from downloading them.
There is a detailed thread about it here. Looking at the “detections” in virustotal, it looks like a false positive to me though.
Also note that m0nkrus is still listed as trusted in the megathread, so there hasn’t been any compelling evidence so far to make them untrustworthy. GenP exists as an alternative and they have a wiki about their method here but note that they also still recommend m0nkrus as an alternative method with the following disclaimer, which suggests always installing the individual app versions instead of the so called “Master Collection”:
There has been some hacking related complaints towards the Collection version specifically (accounts like google, instagram or facebook), but it’s never clear since usually people download from other random sources, got it from youtube, use bunch of other crap, and so on.
At the same time, there are those who use / used individual version or even the collection, and have never had any of those related issues at all.
The amount of data leaks have been increasing, so certain accounts could’ve already been leaked a while back but just nothing happened until then.
There’s a mix of opinions, those who trust and those who don’t, since there’s never a clear conclusive proof or replication of the same problem it’s a gray area.
❗ The links in the reddit and suggestions are to the source, and not other random file hosts.
⚠️ If going with Monkrus, please USE ONLY THE INDIVIDUAL VERSIONS (these should be alright) and NEVER the Collection version (has been dropped due to several correlations with malware, and malfunctions). - This has been said several times, but the majority skips on the reading, so it’s your problem going forward.
Edit: I realise OP was asking about AutoDesk and not Adobe apps but the same general advice applies.
Lol. And yes, Windows 10 IoT LTSC version has support until 2032.
You can still pirate Windows 11 matey. And don’t forget Win 10 LTSC edition still has support until 2027.
So true. Record labels seem to just want the ability to sell overpriced, shitty DRM locked licenses without any competition from piracy, because it shows just how exploitative their practices really are.
He’s got a temp ban and I’ve banned a suspected alt account upvoting him from our instance. It’ll be a permanent ban if he comes back for more.
Your best/cheapest bet is a DNS Proxy because unfortunately UK tv channels are very quick to block VPN IP addresses, so they all tend to stop working quite quickly and then it’s a game of whack-a-mole. I use smartdnsproxy, but there are others around that do a similar thing.
