look at that idiot, typical redditor behavior talking shit from their ass as if they are experts on what they are talking about


I dont think its possible -or easy- to install custom roms on samsungs since they dont allow unlocking the bootloader


Get a model near its end of market life, buy new the oldest you can find

This is a very good advice for someone who is buying a new phone to install a custom ROM on it, since they are indepandant effort they need some time to hack things and find workarounds


thanks it seems that YouTube is playing with its polymer script again, many apps also stopped working



i don’t think that’s possible mate for 2 reasons :

  • software companys pay antivirus software makers to flag and remove game cracks
  • cracks use obfuscation and workaround techniques that are similar to whats used in viruses so most flag them as mallisious

They seized some of the domains here is the official statment.

Dear Z-Librarians, Since one of our main domains was seized, we are experiencing some technical issues. Our team is already working to restore functionality.

I meant the document (with a lot of pictures, tables, graphs, using a lot of different fonts, etc.) Not the file format.


Idk i have never worked with a complicated odt document Although, I would expect some problems because of fonts

Come to think of it. I tried that a couple months ago and The results weren’t so great.( I told word to specifically save my docx document in ODT format)


i don’t want to start a war but sorry, office is the defacto when it comes to office work and libreoffice still have many problems with formatting and editing existing .docx files (things seem better when it comes to .xlsx and .pptx) not to mention that your documents might not look similar on both due to missing proprietary fonts.

its a good software in itself its just that its compatibility with office is a little dodgy



Antivirus softwere. i cant even began to describe how horribly wrong can that go

I mean who the fuck pirate that, you went out of your way to pirate a software from a shady website just to protect yourself from other files u download from other shady websites


I like it here on Lemme. I feel pretty comfy. And most of you here are tech savvy. And if not, at least you have some level of basic true understanding of how technology works., Unlike those impostor syndrome redditors. And I suppose it’s a plus that corporations don’t hunt us down for discussing piracy.


If you are using chrome, ditch it and use something like braver or firefox.

We are already in 2024, which means that Chrome probably does not support manifest-V2 anymore. (What an unexpected turn of events)


The full GTA V source code has been leaked The leak contains GTA V source code and stuff from Bully 2 and GTA VI Leaked in a discord server by a random British guy in the 360 modding community known to get sued by Rockstar multiple times "Now i am expecting a open source version of gta to arrive soon on linux natively . Tired of playing supertuxcart."

dynamic ips can be sometimes a good thing like when downloading from file hoster that have a timer limit

reboot router, refresh page, profit.


Italy: the best of 2 worlds (except Im stuck with early 2000s adsl in 2023)

haha me too


downloading is the USA.

sorry looks like i have made a mistake


point taken however Brazil in not most 3rd world countries there is also most of Africa ( with south Africa being an exception )


also even if there is high speed internet plans they are often expensive and not everyone can afford those ,and don’t count on the websites info since most of the time the speeds are just an average taking into account business and companies internet speeds not just the average costumer and mobile data plans which are **mostly certainly inevitably caped **


if you are sure that no one got in trouble for it before you probably don’t need it



most of us pirates get our media by using torrents, in Europe and north America piracy is illegal ( downloading copyrighted material without permission is a better term ) and it is punished by law some countries gives huge fines and other can even jail you for it ( like USA ) but it is not the government who is in the lookout for these people but “copyright trolls” an independent companies pied by the copyright owner to extract settlement money from people ( essentially they go to people saying :"you have infringed our copyright so if you don’t want us to sue you, you can give us i don’t know …50K $ to forgive you )

how they catch these people in the first place is by going to torrent trackers and logging IP address then figure out whose those IP address belong to,in some case they would go to the IP owners directly but mostly they go to the ISP and send them a letter saying “this IP address did a no no downloading our song that we want to go triple diamond💎💎💎” witch the ISP to avoid trouble forward it to you, and depending on the ISP they may do nothing afterward or ban your account after multiple infringements which if they are the only ISP in town sucks.

what VPNs do is that they mask your real IP address so they can’t know who you are to sue you and if the VPN have a no logs policy they wouldn’t know your real address even if they try to sue the VPN for it.

note that this does not apply to DLL (direct downloads from websites) as it does not count as evidence that you visited the website even if it hosts copyrighted material in most countries

i tried to explain this as simple as i could , also note that i omitted some details for the sake of simplicity


Edit : i was ignorant when i posted this however i think it is still safe to say that internet in **most** 3rd countries is bad or expensive in comparison to their income

–>since everyone is confused about this i’m gonna try to explain as best as i could and also clearing some misconceptions:

1# why this is such a big deal ?

if this gets implemented AND it gets widely adopted websites now can refuse to give you content if you are running a non complied browser, remember those website that say “oh you are using an ad blocker so disable it to access our site” they can detect this by various methods but ultimately all of them rely on running a JavaScript into your browser. which you guessed it, its easy to modify and tamper with manually or using extensions

now what WEI-API does is that it can verify the integrity of the web page ( JavaScript/HTML/CSS has not been modified ) and even tell the website what extensions - ad blocker detected no content for you - you are using and what browser you are using - firefox or brave detected no content for you - and do not be fooled into thinking that this can be spoofed. and website owners who think that they are running a business not a charity will implement this.

2#will using firefox save me?

if this gets widely adopted and you inevitably encounter a website that require this ( for your job ,school or your bank ) you have no choice but to use chrome just like when your banking apps refuse to work because your phone is rooted which means that SAFETY-NET is broken

3#why this is a threat to begin with?

this is only viable if the web adopt it so why bother?, well guess what google is famous for making its services very easy to integrate and well documented just look on how easy it is to integrate google analytics and google adsense* into websites and how many of them use it in the internet.

4#what can we do to prevent this?

this is my personal opinion but i think we simply can’t, this not like the reddit incident were very large portion of the user base was upset most people don’t know/care/give-a-fuck about web technologies and how they work.

#and Finally “but google said they don’t plan to use this to fingerprint you (Device ID) or track your browser history or interfere with the work of extensions”

do you really believe that a company like google whose bread and butter is advertising would not make it easier for themselves, a company who has been exposed time and time again for lying and having ulterior motives ( you don’t need to look far just look into what manifest-v3 did )




i would happily explained why that is not the case here but i’m very tired so maybe tomorrow so i suggest reading that article if you are interested


not quite , this is way more serious than refusing to give extensions access to websites content. ( for those who don’t know that’s what manifest-v3 essentially do )



chromium is just striped down chrome ,yeah its open source but google is the main contributor meaning the final decisions are up to them to accept or refuse ( or even force)


looks like rendering adblockers extensions obsolete with manifest-v3 was not enough so now they try to implement **DRM** into the browser giving the ability to any website to refuse traffic to you if you don't run a complaint browser ( cough...**firefox** ) here is an article in [hacker news](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36817305) since i'm sure they can explain this to you better than i. and also some [github](https://github.com/RupertBenWiser/Web-Environment-Integrity/blob/main/explainer.md) docs

i totally agree that YouTube is mind cancer for kids. it is like cigarettes it’s damaging to the brain and kids should not consume it until they are older and even then one shall not consume it at all from the start for his own good


i just want to point out that the claims in this article are from Netflix ,so take them with a grain of salt



wow just wow while i can't say i didn't see this one coming but it always amazes me where greed could lead someone

as the title says someone claims that he got malware from "downloadpirate" which is in the megathread should we be worried? PS:he downloaded " W a c a t a c "
