A VPN should have you covered.
Beyond that you can check the fmhy guides or the piracy megathread (on !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com) for some tips and sources. There are options for direct download, which is generally safe from legal issues (for downloaders, not for the uploader) even without VPN.
You should probably check if it’s already up on APKmirror. It likely is.
Parallel Killers would make a sick band name.
Lol, you don’t. There’s a whole bunch of reasons they enjoy Facebook that you can’t replicate outside of it with privacy respecting social media. Mainly, all their friends and other pages they interact with already on Facebook.
This is a pretty frequent question in privacy spaces. The best you can do is manage your own, and maybe talk to them about the risks. Maybe. If they’re open to it.
Most DRMed ebook filetypes can be converted to non-DRM ones using Calibre and addons for it. That might cover comics, but I can’t confirm as I’ve never been into digital comics.
Apple’s iTunes used to let you pay like 30¢ more to get certain tracks in mp3. Others have mentioned bandcamp. About a decade ago Amazon used to be straight mp3 downloads for purchased tracks, but I’m not sure if that’s standard anymore.
As a relatively new father (my daughter is around 2.5 years old), you have plenty of time. They’ll be a loving little lump for a while.
What she has loved so far:
I’ll come back and edit this with my own shows later.
Plenty of sites break copyright law and don’t get struck, but if you ask how to do it safely, or how to do it legally, you’re going to get told how to play it safe.
You can upload content to Archive.org yourself rather than mega and get an extra layer of defense against legal trouble, as you wouldn’t be directly responsible for hosting the content. They would take the uploaded item down if they got a DMCA, but mega is more likely to take down the whole folder.
Would also keep the content more accessible long term. Tons of dead mega links all over the internet.
I’d look for old apks for it on places like apk mirror, then look into pulling the assets out of the apk file.
If you’re lucky, the music is just sitting in the apk in some standard format like mp3, wav, or ogg.
Likewise, someone else mentioned there are PC versions. You could check for those on various abandonware sites.
Think you may have hit the wrong comm for this.
Don’t know why anyone would want to fart into a bong
That’s fucking terrible.
Unfortunately in my roughly a decade in IT, I’ve only seen a vendor failing to deliver a core feature tank a contract once. It’s completely fucking absurd how many systems/softwares/products are in use because contracts were signed based off specific feature promises, that then were never completed.
Does this shit happen in other industries? I have a hard time imagining some company signing a contract for delivery trucks that for instance, ran on diesel, the truck manufacturer saying they didn’t have those yet but would by time of delivery, delivering gas trucks anyway, and the company that ordered them going “Well I guess we’ll just suck it up. No need to have legal get a chunk of our money back. No need to stop doing business with that truck manufacturer. We’ll just make the fleet mechanics retrofit them with no extra budget, time, or headcount. Let’s go do lines in the executive bathroom.”
But that’s what seems to happen with software products all the fucking time.
I want to be the first, but I am definitely closer to the second. I’m trying to find a reasonable middle ground.
Like, I want to have a nice home network with a proper NAS, Pihole DNS, Plex/Emby/Jellyfin media server, all my music properly tagged, little mediaplayer/emulation/game streaming endpoint boxes on each TV, etc. But I don’t have the time or money to do it right at the moment.
So I have my desktop set up to share out my media folders as SMB shares when it’s powered on, and I’ve used a few tools to get my video content organized right for Kodi. I’ve got Kodi installed as an app on the Xbox Series X plugged into the family room TV. The other TV has a Chromecast dongle with VLC sideloaded and set up to connect to the SMB shares, because I’m too lazy to get my Kodi setup on it. Every room in the house has an ethernet port, and most rooms have a dumb switch so as much hardware can have ethernet connection as possible. I’ve run my music collection through MusicBrainz Picard, and separated it into a properly tagged and organized folder, and one for stuff that isn’t.
I’m sure you could set up containers or VMs for them to run on if you tried.
Because lemmy is much smaller, you tend to rub into the same users more often. So if someone comes off as abrasive, blocking them can have a notable impact on your experience.
Dogpiling is worse, and it can pay to know what instance the community you’re posting in is, as the games community on hexbear is going to be different than on world.
It’s much more “left” than reddit. Notably, while this instance, lemmy.ml, is the flagship instance run by the lead dev, the “ml” stands for marxist-leninist.
I would want to hear ‘no’ by this point because that would give me the release to pursue others.
If they haven’t locked you down, you owe them nothing. Be direct.
If they were worth waiting for, they would give you a straight answer.
“I’m interested in you, but you’ve been lukewarm about this whole thing. Whenever you make up your mind, you know where to find me, but I can’t spend my life waiting for you to make a move.”
Maybe check fmhy’s (free media hell yeah) piracy megathread? I think that’s one of the most up to date "megathread"s.
Or some piracy communities on lemmy. !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com is the biggest one, and is the successor of the piracy subreddit (the head mod left reddit and started their own lemmy instance).
That’s bitch baby mode. Just use MASgrave to fake activation/license. No need for that silly workaround every time.
Hey, everyone knows you need to wait for the answer to open the door.
Lol, lmao even. Welcome to the grind. There aren’t many/any easy ways, it wildly varies based off your situation and skillset, and anyone who found any sort of “trick” isn’t about to share it.
The “easiest” way online, assuming no particular skills, is probably mechanical turk work. Amazon has a system for it. mturk.com
You get paid barely anything, I mean like literal pennies, to go and do stuff like fill out surveys, categorize photos for AI training datasets, etc. Most people who make any halfway reasonable amount from it are using all sorts of scripts and stuff to maximize how much they can do in the least amount of time.
If you already have money, giving it to an investment banker to handle for you can be enough to live off of, but you need an absurd amount of money to start with in order to just live off dividends.
