The thing that sucks about capitalism is that for as awful as it is, the idea that it breeds innovation is also true.

 

Hello all,

I've heard many times that IRC can be incredibly useful for piracy, but I've never tried using it. Can someone recommend some IRC servers that I could join? I'm especially interested in joining servers that distribute TV shows.

Thank you!

Sounds very much like my experience: a wonderful project, but not without its flaws that are kind of annoying, but not a big deal for the price. :)

What issues do you have with ReVanced? It works great! The only thing that's kind of a pain in the ass is that if you're rooted using KernelSU, you have to repatch the app every time you reboot. Fortunately I usually only reboot once a month when the new OTA gets released for my phone.

 

Every now and then, when I'm connected to a torrent a peer will connect that has a reference to "Swarm Merging" in their name. What is swarm merging?

People can and have made sites that are better than TPB. Functionally, TPB's site is still usable (and also quite a nostalgia trip with its appearance), but in terms of the content, there are a ton of malware-laced torrents on there. I understand that you always have to be careful when torrenting regardless of where you get something from, but it's kind of a bad sign when you're looking for something, and most of the torrents you find are malicious.

lol imagine being so desperate for the protest to come to an end that you are even targeting a community that engages in legally questionable activity.

I'm sure the process of determining what mods to DM was automated, but even so, it's still pretty funny to me.

That's awesome! Honestly, the move away from Reddit is probably the best thing that could happen to our community. r/Piracy was always a few DMCAs away from not existing anymore. I'm not super familiar with how Lemmy works under the hood, but from what little I do understand, I think we're probably safer here.
