Agreed. You gotta eat too. I just can’t comprehend how there can be a way to arrange bits in my hard drive so wrong it can land me in jail

Don’t even get me started on 🏴‍☠️

love download shit for free from torrents instead of pay subscriptions, don’t care what what landlubbers think about opinions and copyright 🏴‍☠️

Sure but you can also post your public key somewhere else for people to verify.

Or instances could store public keys of users from other instances, sorta like blockchain validation.

Lemmy needs GPG signatures!

Send them sex instead (self extracting executables).

Piracy 🏴‍☠️

Unless it was something really obscure I never had problems finding seeders.

I use the search engine function inside qBitTorrent and I sort the results descending by the number of seeders. To enable it go to View > Search Engine (iirc) and follow these simple instructions.

qBitTorrent also has a feature that lets you download a torrent in order of their pieces, and also download the first and last piece first, which is basically streaming. No need to wait for the download to finish first.

If needed, VLC has a built-in plugin called VLsub which lets you find and automatically load subtitles for almost anything. To enable it go to View > VLSub.

qBitTorrent + VLC is my Netflix. Never asked me a cent, but to me they are priceless and more convenient than any subscription service.

On Android I use LibreTorrent + VLC.

Paying for piracy is stupid
