Thanks!

Where are you getting this message from? Do they have a Telegram channel where you can get news?

https://libgen.is/ is still working for me

Ah yeah, I’ve heard that offices are rolling out a new role of office cumdump. Glad to hear from someone already in the role

Agree about the difficulty uploading. I tried to share torrents on a few sites for a video game (which was no longer possible to buy or download legitimately anyway) and some books I’d scanned but got rejected 🤷‍♀️ I understand they have to maintain a quality of uploads and uploaders but it would be nice if they could stay away malware while still making the barrier to entry for sharing your own benign torrents low.

No that’s the lingo the professionals use these days

I stopped using those hacked spotify apps as I had to hunt down a fresh new apk every time there was an update and I just couldn’t be bothered. I just dont use Spotify anymore at all. Do you have a good solution to this or are you doing the same?

What I do personally is get any music I want from soulseek and then sync my music directory across devices with syncthing. Although I’m planning on renting a vps to put my music on at some point as it’s taking up quite a lot of my phone storage now.

On desktop I like to use mpd with ncmpcpp. On Android(/GrapheneOS) I’m using Metro as my music player.

I’ve seen people accusing her of being a trans woman before, which obviously she has always responded to with transphobia and denial. I see no reason to believe her to be trans unless you have evidence

Given how expensive phones are in terms of environmental cost you really shouldn’t be buying new phones unless your current one’s broken to the point of unusable.

I think they typoed “fully”

I usually just pirate ebooks, rarely videos or games, so my piracy doesnt take up much space. For videos I just keep em around since I have the space, and if i need to clear space I can just delete something I’ve already watched. And tbh I don’t remember the last time I pirated a game, I don’t play games a lot and the ones I do play I own legally lol

Oh I do pirate music too. It’s currently not taking up much disk space so I’m not bothered. I would probably just buy another drive if i ran out if music space.

Use a compose key

Does the torrent listing have any comments? Ofc positive comments doesn’t guarantee it’s not malware but I wouldn’t chance it if there’s no comments

That was the url my personal Z-library url redirects to, unless my personal url was compromised? Like, remember when they first went back online and you had to register to get your own url to access zlib? I’ve just been using that

Try https://z-library.se/ ?

If not, libgen normally has what i’m looking for anyway

I have heard from friends that they got banned for using adblockers on free Spotify. I used a tool, forgot what it’s called, for the brief time I had Spotify Premium where you could give it access to your account via the API and it’d search music piracy websites to download all the songs and albums in your library. After I had downloaded my library I cancelled my subscription. So that was entirely within Spotify’s ToS. (Music piracy is still illegal, but the violation didn’t happen against Spotify.) I suppose if you wanted to do this then doing something like that, where you just look the song up on music piracy sites and don’t actually download from Spotify directly, would be less likely to get your account banned. You still need Premium to access the API, but you could just scrape the webpage if you want.

You are in a piracy community

I don’t “refuse” to pirate anything. If I buy something I see it basically as a donation, that I like what the creator does and want to support them. I tend to buy indie games for that reason; I wouldn’t buy a AAA game because obviously they don’t need the money. Oh, and I buy books if I know the author is actually a good writer, ie if I’ve read something by them before and I want to support their writing. Also seconding what people are saying about FOSS; I’ve donated a lot more to FOSS projects than I’ve paid for proprietary software.
