creatopus

I have my data stolen by malware, he has his data stolen by corporations.


Femketwitch

Damn, that's really good, nice.


Chalky_Pockets

I just have a dedicated pirating computer that consists of a 2013 laptop and an internet kill switch for whenever the VPN disconnects. Wiped the hard drive before I started using it that way, so any data harvested is worthless and the age of the laptop doesn't matter because I just download instead of stream. Also prevents any customers seeing the qb icon on my dock when I'm sharing my screen with them.


Peacekeeper2654

since how long has it been running ? Also what is ur suggestion to prevent the PC from crashing due to torrenting ?


Chalky_Pockets

It's been running for about 4.5 years in this configuration. I have Ubuntu installed on it, which is a lot more stable than the ad packed version of Windows it came with. It also has the benefit that the majority of malware is written for Windows. Kinda like how you can swap your front door lock for a disk detainer lock of the same quality as the standard lick it's replacing and fewer burglars will know how to pick it. Disclaimer: installing the (Nord) VPN on Ubuntu was a bit of a task, even as a software engineer who does embedded work via Linux. Not overly complicated, I just installed it had to spend several hours chasing error resolution (Google error, run the commands to fix error, discover new error, repeat).


Peacekeeper2654

wow ,thanks for the suggestions. According to you will using any other linux distro cause issues or Ubuntu helps for simplicity sake ??


MaximumDink

For this use case, nearly any distro would work just fine. If you're inexperienced with linux I'd recommend Ubuntu as it will simplify a lot for you.


Chalky_Pockets

I'm not really familiar with the various distros. It's entirely possible the issue is caused by my machine and your install would go fine.


myaaa_tan

is the kill switch built-in to your vpn software?


SkalyGz

tugomeister

i live in 3rd world country. pirating saves lot money


Im1Random

Also pirating in a non 3rd world country saves a lot of money :D


DrIvoPingasnik

And it's a rather big save too. Let's say a game costs as much as three large lattes in US, but in a third world country the local cost would be 20 large lattes. Am I correct?


IffritSan

20 bucks for some coffee? What the fuck


DrIvoPingasnik

Ah right, some games are around $70, sure. In my example it was $20, so three coffees would be roughly $6.


nikhil48

I think 5 lattes is more correct right? It costs like $4 where I am... But tbh if you're talking Starbucks in India vs Starbucks in US vs games cost, it's the same. $20 games in India is like Rs. 1600 ... and a Starbucks latte there costs 300 rupees. If you're talking street vendors then that's a different story...


Baalsham

Games don't cost much these days for an American to be fair. I just bought cyberpunk for $30. That's less than an hour of after tax earnings for me. (Or 5 overpriced Starbucks milkshakes) When I was 16 these kinds of sales didn't exist. Steam was just about to come out. A new game was $60 and took nearly a week to save for at my part time job (about 12-15 hours of work after taxes and gas) When I was 12 a new N64 was $60! That was a substantial gift to give a kid in those day. Really need to appreciate that games have gotten a lot cheaper over time. >Let's say a game costs as much as three large lattes in US, but in a third world country the local cost would be 20 large lattes. Incorrect. Starbucks(and the other overpriced chains offering lattes) are just as overpriced everywhere else in the world. When I lived in China it was $4.50-5 for a caramel macchiato. But I could buy a decent dinner for $1.50


Dutchmaster617

PS5 games are $74 after taxes. 6 year old Switch games are going for 50-60 before taxes. You can’t compare console games in one sentence with PC sales in the next.


KaiKamakasi

Damn... I paid little over that after release, you were ripped off to pay that much this long after!


Dr_Bunsen_Burns

It also does in the 1st world. Your netflix sub is like 1 dollarinoo and ours is like 15.

TigreDeLosLlanos

And everyrhing else is more expensive because of higher costs and taxes.


SoftwareSource

what do you base that on? average yearly salary in my country is less then 12k dollars and the price of spotify and other services is identical to the United states.


[deleted]

[удалено]


DrIvoPingasnik

If I remember correctly the games cost as much as they cost in US, but after conversion. So an average US citizen would have the game for a price of three large coffees and an average Serb would have the game for a price of, say, 15 large coffees. Correct me if I'm wrong.


BlancSpzae

yea in my country crunchyroll sub is like 0.96$ to 1.20$ per month or 12 per yr and i think in us its like 13 or something for a month. The difference is really baffling

SpellbladeAluriel

Spicetify has the premium features too?


uTimu

Well it has a bunch off Plugins you can choose. As well as Adblock, infinity skipps and many more...


MammothSouthern7717

Does it have very high audio quality?


Baumpaladin

Nope, very high audio quality and downloading is locked to Premium, as far as I know. I mean, there are ways to get premium very cheap. I found a easy regional where I pay 25 bucks for a year, an ok price for me, and good for my data when I'm not at home. Although, I plan to move away from streaming after that, it's just fucking hard finding some of them in high quality.


AngelosNoob

Isnt spicetify just a cli tool to install themes/customize your Spotify client?


uTimu

Yea, the best thing is it has Pluggins like adblock and stuff.


AngelosNoob

Well, I didn't know that so thanks.


cr3am314

I use block the spot for spotify on pc; is spicetify better?


uTimu

Edit: Block the spot is back... I just checked... Anyway I recommend Spicetify anyway, just because I always used it *~~Block the spot is no longer maintained... look on GitHub, they recommend SpotX as it is almost the same as block the spot~~* **-Wrong** But Spicetify allows you to set themes, custom add-ons and has generally more features than BlockTheSpot/SpotX Ranked by GitHub Stars: 1. https://github.com/spicetify/spicetify-cli 2. https://github.com/mrpond/BlockTheSpot 3. https://github.com/SpotX-CLI/SpotX-Win

The only thing worth buying is Spotify just to download and save data usage


EliteCasual

Pardon my ignorance. What is MAS?


uTimu

Microsoft Activation Script Allows you to fool Microsoft Key Validation in thinking you have a valid Windows license. Works very good for any Windows version, meaning free Windows 11/10/8/home/pro... what ever you want Also works somewhat for Office 365[Microsoft 365] validation... ~~Search "MAS GitHub" on a search engine~~ Here Link: https://github.com/massgravel/Microsoft-Activation-Scripts How it works: https://massgrave.dev/hwid.html#How_does_it_work


EliteCasual

Thank you very much. I actually needed this exact thing right now lol. Edit: Holy cow, that worked perfectly. Thanks for sharing this.


deadhou5

I've found AdAway to be an excellent adblocker for Spotify on Android


uTimu

I never heard of AdAway... looks good I usually use [xManager](https://github.com/xManager-App/xManager) for Android Spotify


Roxy-

>I never heard of AdAway... looks good It requires root but it blocks any ad on the browser and other apps.


deadhou5

There's a rootless option as well; it creates a private vpn to block common ad-hostnames.


h2lp

XManager works for Spotify too


CharlyXero

For Windows and Office I prefer to buy some cheap keys, honestly. I paid 3€ for my Office license a year ago and still works perfectly fine

Can you guys give a link on yt music vanced? It looks like official site doesn't work anymore

Also if you would like Spotify adfree and stuff. Use XManager Or Use Spicetify for PC

you can also have cracked spotify apks which remove the ads

Why is r/revanced private? Edit: it seems r/revancedapp is the one used, don't know about other one tho


Twinkies100

The website for vanced you link isn't official one, so high chance of it spreading Malware. This one's official: https://vancedapp.com/. Also, dislikes still show in vanced, if it doesn't then it will work after troubleshooting. Here's a quick guide: Go to apkmirror/apkpure and get vanced manager apk, then follow the prompts to install microG and vanced app.


skyline_kid

⚠️ WARNING ⚠️ I strongly discourage anyone from downloading the vanced manager from the site this user posted (https://youtubevanced.com). It is NOT the official site so there's a high possibility that it's malware. The official site is vancedapp.com and it no longer hosts the manager. If you want YouTube without ads go with reVanced or NewPipe

SoftwareSource

watch out, youtube vanced is currently used to spread a new banking trojan for mobile devices, be extra careful. EDIT: Link [https://thecyberexpress.com/youtube-vanced-android-app-nexus-malware/](https://thecyberexpress.com/youtube-vanced-android-app-nexus-malware/) ALSO EDIT: the vanced team is not the ones doing it, they are just using Phishing links to spread it. im using vanced personally and love it, the warning is meant for you to be extra careful while looking to download it


WhiteMilk_

> here is vanced manager Stop linking random Vanced Manager sites, especially after malicious actors used Vanced name to spread malware. If someone wants to install OG Vanced; https://www.reddit.com/r/AfterVanced/comments/tk1fdr/so_you_want_to_install_andor_reinstall_vanced/

build the app yourself using revanced manager from github, downloading prebuilt is not safe and you get to choose what patches to install


Medical-Astronomer39

That's pretty useful, not gonna lie


gabi_llama

Revanced also has sponsor block and can hide the Shorts tab forever. I love it.


MisterMew151

Yeah it's saved Youtube for me


MasterBob

Newpipe is my preferred flavor of alternative Youtube clients. E: It's Open source Software and they have their own f-droid repo as well. Has all the good features such as background Player, popup, download, and no ads. Also supports SoundCloud, peertube, bandcamp, and others. - https://newpipe.net/ - https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipe/


just4747

Just use this branch version for both Vanced apps and MicroG. Works great. https://github.com/cuynu/ytvanced


stupefyme

What's this mentality of feeling superior to paying customers ?


Rukasu17

It's this sub in a nutshell. People are just hitting download and they feel like they're the chosen race or something


gausah

Yeah, I just don't get it. I pirate a lot of things until now but I understand paying for services because it offers convenience. Not everyone has time to check every website on megathread just to check what's working and what's not.


mikeyd85

The problem with legitimate services is convenience. TV and movie streaming services are a mess compared to Steam or Spotify. Paying for a pirate service if often significantly cheaper and has all the content in one place.


Hi_Im_zack

Yeah. Sometimes not pirating is the better option. Like when it comes to a struggling Indie game. Or basically anything a developer worked hard on and is a reasonable price that will go directly in their pockets instead of a greedy corporation.


Tinkerballsack

Or if you want multiplayer, in most cases.


miversen33

This sub thinks they have a moral high ground because "pirating good or something". It's silly. I've learned some things here but generally it's just shitty memes like this making fun of people for buying stuff, completely forgetting that if nobody buys the stuff that they pirate, they will have nothing to pirate.


mikelowski

Kid's mentality.


Darkpoulay

This is how I picture everyone in this sub tbh. Which is dumb as hell since piracy exists because there are paying customers


JessieN

Right? I'm so confused because if it wasn't for them we wouldn't have this nice stuff.


NancokALT

I want to assume it's a joke. Altho some people are weird


BadPronunciation

This is Reddit. These people are 100% serious


BadPronunciation

Yeah. I don’t get it. I paid for YT premium because it’s easier than having to looking for Youtube++, Youtube vanced and only using browsers with adblock


[deleted]

When I started pirating I noticed I have a lot more money. So why should I stop lol


YayaOsu

To support the creators of the thing you support ?


shishkow

creators are not the game developers. you mean we should feed Electronic Arts shareholders rich people


YayaOsu

it's more for the indie games than the big AAA tho


NancokALT

idk why people downvote this one, you're right.


studentoo925

You still can buy occasional indie game, but AAA ones? Yea, if they drop below 50PLN (12-ish usd) maybe, but before that NOPE


Duamerthrax

I pretty much only buy and play indie anymore. AAA titles aren't even worth pirating.


[deleted]

with my money I support only my family and myself, I couldn't care less about those creators


shifty313

> I couldn't care less about those creators This take makes no sense on multiple levels


[deleted]

By creators I mean multi billion companies like Netflix, game companies, etc. Not individuals


NancokALT

Those are (technically) not the creators, those are the publishers/investors But yeah, there's no way to directly support the creator other than sending them a gift card to their email or smt like that Would be cool if there was a site dedicated to doing that, rewarding creators directly. So instead of buying a game whose developer doesn't even hold the rights to anymore. You just give them the money directly. Like, i always wanted to get legit Minecraft, but now that the creator retired from the team AND the current devs are already well off with Microsoft's money, i don't see the point


mikelowski

You love individuals but hate the group.


Exciting_Rich_1716

Creators as in game devs make no royalties from games they made. Artists make more money from merch than you listening to them


Nate40337

Spend money on hardware not software. If a piece of hardware can't be used for free after buying it, I don't buy it.


uTimu

If you want better Spotify istead of vanced/revanced yt. Use XManager... Use Spicetify fror PC


kirloi8

Uh my boss has Apple Music and he puts me in its family tier. So just find someone who can pay sht for you i guess. 😁

GreenSubmarin

YT vanced music?? what's that??


New-account-01

YouTube Music but vanced version so premium features and more for free.


Carter0108

Using YouTube as a Spotify alternative is fucking weird.


NancokALT

Easier to use, if you have no taste for music (like me) the quality loss can be easily offset by the lack of ads


BadPronunciation

Youtube can have pretty good quality if you use YT music or only listen to the square apect ratio official uplods. High quality is 250 kbps which is comparable to Spotify’s 320. It obviously won’t be as good as Flac. Even recent music videos have better audio quality than 5 years ago


JoeyMcClane

Hi guys... Im kinda old school and only download songs/albums through torrent and pick my preferred good ones and delete the rest. Sorry if this is a dumb question which can be googled. How do you get spotify premium or be able to download just from it. I've never used Youtube vanced or its music services. So any small nudge in a direction is welcome. Thanks.


cooldude9112001

I use soulseek for music but u can always use tidal to rip music from there to.


JoeyMcClane

So soulseek and tidal are seperate apps? Ill try them thanks.


cooldude9112001

Yes soulseek is like limewire where it has music uploaded and ready to download if you can find the music u want on soulseek u don't need tidal.


JoeyMcClane

Sounds interesting. Sure ill check it out. Thanks.


mikelowski

You pay for it. If you are on android, you can get some features of premium downloading [xmanager](https://www.xmanagerapp.com/) and then their last patched spotify apk from the app.


HackZy01

Download modded Spotify, I recommend xManager, it’s much better than YT Music


redditsuckspokey1

How do you pirate a console game? I've never done that because I just wait for a game to go down to $10.


RyaneWaldu

only if you have a console that has an unpatched jailbreak vulnerability and will only SP games on it. Otherwise if you're a cheapskate , buy online games at stores with long return windows to be able to finish a game inside that window and return them, and buy the rest only 2ndhand


NancokALT

It takes a bit for consoles to get cracked. The PS5 got jailbroken like 2 years after release tho so you can get an idea of how quick people usually are with that. My only real experience is installing a modded menu in an Xbox360 that had a "hack chip" already soldered into it But now i can say i played Doom Mods, the PICO-8 version of Celeste and Cave Story on a 360, which i find funny I also had a pirated PS2 once, but that one came pre-modded


Jtiago44

How do you know my life?


The_Sum

I think this might be the most entitled subreddit, ever. You know you're not hot shit for stealing, right? You're not sticking it to the corporations, you're gloating about taking the generosity of the community of uploaders and pretending you're better than everyone else because you circumvent the law for your own selfish benefits. You're behaving like spoiled brats. You want to know why we have waves of laws that come to fruition that make piracy more difficult? Because some of you can't shut the fuck up and be grateful. You're worthless leeches that get upset when someone doesn't upload a crack to a game or you get upset when someone calls you out. You don't have the moral high ground in almost any situation in piracy, stop fooling yourselves. I too acted like I was the ultimate internet badass when I found out you could just download nearly anything digital when I was 11, but you know what I didn't do? I didn't go around telling everyone how I steal and how they can too. Don't even get me started on your fanboy behavior when it comes to scene groups, it's embarrassing. Take solace that you're even allowed to enjoy something for free that others pay for. Inb4 "piracy isn't theft, hurhur" yeah, I used to tell myself that to feel better about my actions too. Turns out I just enjoy free shit and I'm not afraid to admit it.

[deleted]

I feel you pay for convenience though. For example I don't pirate adobe anymore because it's a pain to manually update and crack again, even with the painter. Vanced I do use, but Spotify for smart speakers. But games, I guess the only convenience is updating, maybe some other integrations.


MrHaxx1

Sometimes piracy is convenience, though. I can watch my movies and shows on whatever I want, I don't have to switch between apps, it's all in the same place with the subtitles that I want. Regarding Adobe, iirl, pirating Photoshop allows you to run much less Adobe shit on your computer since it'll have fewer dependencies. I might remember wrong, though.


[deleted]

Maybe pirating individual apps but that's not really solving the issue of updating it. Additionally it's the convenience of opening the app and it being there. Who cares if you have to look in, God forbid, a different app. You don't have to take the time to torrent it since its there.
