To me, the meme acknowledges that GOG installers are shared in groups, which is piracy since the other people didn’t pay for it. (That doesn’t mean it’s bad btw.)

Yes, as a result of SciHub’s ongoing litigation in India, they voluntarily decided to stop updating their database. This is old news. You can look it up.



Awesome! Thank you for telling me about Scribd downloader and finding the first book.

As for the Academia.edu link, it doesn’t seem like premium will provide the PDF, that’s just premium membership. The actual PDFs are governed by individual authors. Seems that author uploaded a preview of the book perhaps to indicate that they contributed to it so it counts as a citation.



I did ask them to check if they could access it through interlibrary loan. We’ll see. Buying the book seems prohibitive though. It’s highway robbery prices.


Both are on Oxford Politics Trove. Would you happen to have institutional access?

Yes, I’m aware Issues has pirated versions of earlier editions available, I have those already. I’m hoping for the latest version.


That works quite well in my country, where book piracy isn’t as policed, but that’s not an option for me because I can’t access or buy a physical copy.



I’ve already mentioned in the body that it ain’t on libgen. Otherwise there wouldn’t be a point of asking. I’ll check the other wiki though, thanks.


My library doesn’t have it unfortunately. I’ve asked for help anyway, perhaps through an inter-library loan. We’ll see.





Where to turn to if I need books that are paywalled behind overly expensive academic portals?
I need some books paywalled behind Oxford Politics Trove and they aren’t on Anna’s lib, Zlib, Libgen, Memory of the World, Aaarg, or the Internet Archive. Not sure to whom else to turn to. I hate that knowledge like this is paywalled, and I highly doubt the authors will be paid if I pay the highway robbery of a price.

Use Lutris instead. Add the EXE, install it, change the launch EXE to the correct file.




I used both this and yt-dlp for downloading albums. This seems smoother since it has a UI.


New youtube music desktop app released! [Release v2.0.2 · th-ch/youtube-music]
This app has an easy downloader of music and music albums from Youtube Music, so it's definitely an awesome piracy tool.

Does anybody have an updated repository for Knock, the de-DRM remover for ACSM files?
The original repository [on Github](https://web.archive.org/web/20221116202055/https://github.com/BentonEdmondson/knock) has been taken down. I looked at the forks and none of them seem to have a compiled Linux executable. Would anyone know if this project is still being update somewhere?

I literally didn’t know why it was bad. Thanks for explaining I guess, even despite the hostility.




Is there still a popcorn time?
Is Popcorn time still a thing? Is there a safe one to install for android phones? Follow up: Is this a legit site? [shows.cf](https://shows.cf)

I got

 Connection failed (self-signed certificate.? (18))

What can I do next

EDIT: Not using SSL worked. Not safe but eh.



I keep getting

 Looking up IRCHighWay
 Unknown host. Maybe you misspelled it?

Honestly, IRC is still a mystery for me. For server, I’m trying to join IRCHighWay/6697.





The LinuxRulez repacks sometimes include Windows games that work almost natively on Linux with some WINE magic.
