Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ

One day many years ago I had too many drinks and being stupid and naive and I bought adobe cs5. I still use it on the same computer I installed it a decade ago. Activated and installed only once. Today they revoked the access to it. Clicking the link they say "revoked because purchased from an untrustworthy reseller"

Yeah... untrustworthy reseller, look at the invoice and see who sold&shipped that physical copy...

Contacted support, they said that they won't do anything about it because it's EOL.

Moral of the story: don't do like me. If buying isn’t owning, piracy isn’t stealing. Never give your money to Adobe.

I feel this is kind of a dumb question but I can't find a solution that's working for me:

every now and then I have the need to rip copy protected dvds. In the past I have used Handbrake with libdvdcss. But now there only seems to be flatpak versions of Handbrake for linux and these versions can't access the libdvdcss library.

VLC should be able to do the job but for a specific dvd I wnt to rip now, I produces out-of-sync video/audio tracks and I haven't been able to succeed.

I can't believe ripping dvd's can be that hard. Do I miss something obvious? Any tips are appreciated, aside from just download it - I can't find the respective media anywhere...

All the principled pirates have jumped ship to lemmy so it was bound to happen sooner than later.

Mine is 186GiB. I have about 100 movies and 3 TV series on a two hard disks (one for backup). I don't know if that is small or large.

How big is your collection?

Any idea how to fix this annoying message when having ''TTV LOL PRO'' extension installed on FireFox? The Twitch Adblocker seems to be detected and gives either this message or a infinite loading circle.

G'day.

I'm looking for pirated copies of art magazines or maybe a ripped rss feed for some of them.

Here are some of the magazines I'm talking about:

The Brooklyn Rail

Art Forum

moussemagazine.it

I mean, most of these sites already feature almost all of the content anyways, I was just wondering maybe there's some sort of PDF paradise for issues out there.

Thanks

This sounds made up.

I purchased a song on iTunes a long time ago, during the time that an Apple ID was required to unlock access to the file. I lost access to the associated email address and Apple ID password. I don’t want to steal a song that I morally own. How do I unlock the file without the Apple ID password?

I was an iOS supporter until iphone 5 then I discovered the beauty and freedom of Android.

To this day with Samsung s22+

But currently I am a bit tired, there is no android phone that I am passionate about, oneplus has given me nothing but problems, Samsung with exynos is a disaster (not to mention the new blockages at sideload and the green stripes on the display), I don't even want to go near all the other Chinese brands, and Nothing is not what it promised to be.

I want to go back to iOS but there are a few things holding me back:

• how can sideload be managed on iOS? Are there modified apps like youtube, reddit?

• I follow a lot of NSFW channels on telegram, discord and reddit itself, are there any problems on iOS? are there ways around this? (my girlfriend has iOS, and every time I want to forward an nsfw gif she doesn't see it)

• surf the sea, is it complex on ios? Especially in terms of gaming?

TBH only yt, nsfw and modded apk keep me on android. Thanks a lot in advance

I'm trying to find some dubs for media that I have... "acquired by alternative means"

My FreeTube stopped working today, so I figured others would also be affected.

The devs posted a temporary workaround on GitHub:

• Set Primary API to Invidious in the General Settings

• Select an Instance that is near to you, see https://api.invidious.io/. Make sure to pick one that has a checkmark in the API field. Also make sure you start typing the instance name with https:// and it should list instances as suggestions.

• Disable Fallback to Non-Preferred Backend on Failure in the General Settings

• Disbale Proxy Videos Through Invidious in the Player settings

This seems to be working for now, until the (awesome) devs release an update to fix the issue.

Hi everyone. As the title says, I'm looking for a method to download manga on smartphone and then read it with a proper offline reader (any suggestion is appreciated).

Example: I've been reading comics (downloading them on the smartphone and then reading them with "Perfect Viewer" app) for years and I would start to read manga also with a similar solution.

I prefer to download them on the smartphone (and don't read it online) because I don't have always a decent Internet connection, and when I can access to that I use that to download as many comics I can.

Thanks in advance for all your help

EDIT: Thanks for your help, I'll try Mihon and Kotatsu

Help with DL a file with ipfs pls, I tried yesterday and couldn't 😭 Cid is QmUwS36WN1A5FQ6uiatgyCWYapkm96KACCfxSyrHB2puzs

Can anyone be my saviour 🥺 pls?

Has anyone actually succeeded to remove DRM? I just want my books that I bought. I have Kindle books and comics, and nook books (yes, nook)

I've been through the online guides but so far no good. I don't have a kindle device if that matters.

Am I better off just downloading copies from someone else who did it already?
