So, I'm kinda embarrassed to say this but I only learned about custom OS's life tech ReviOS and Ghost. If you also don't know, they are customised versions of windows installations that offer better privacy and control over your PC.

For those of you that already know about these, can you offer any advice on which to choose, and why? I have a Radeon RX 5700 TX so I'm starting to get back into gaming so these OS's are quite intriguing since I'm rebuilding my PC with new motherboard and case tomorrow and I'm doing a fresh windows 11 install.

Any advice here is appreciated. Hopefully I don't get flamed/downvoted for asking this question.

I don’t think about it often, but it is the honor of my life to count myself as a member of this great family.

Culture is everything to me. All forms of art. And I wouldn’t be the person I am today if this community hadn’t helped me acquire this culture. I’m not making a lot of money and I’d be dirt poor if I had to pay for every piece of media I wanted to consume.

I’ve walked under the black flag for two decades now and I always try to do my part. I’ve come to respect so many piratelords, worship them even. They have my utmost respect for the quality of what they are allowing us to enjoy.

I don’t care about the bad side (porn and stuff). I just want to watch yet another obscure movie that only this community was able to provide - out of the goodness of their heart.

Thank you so much. I wanna keep sailing the high seas with you, guys. You are family, and I love you.

For two years now, 24 consecutive months, I have been stupid enough to give this garbage company my money. Today I went through all of my subscriptions and decided to finally cancel my Photo-plan with Adobe which costs me $12 a month. They recently just increased their pricing.

I was aware of the fact that you can't cancel your subscription early without being met with a cancellation fee (I was made aware of this after I first started subscribing, of course) though it's already been two years. But apparently, this 12 month subscription is renewed automatically, and unless you by some miracle decide to cancel within the 2 week period after said 12 month subscription is renewed, you'll be met with a fee. In my case, 66 goddamn dollars. Or that's what you would think, at least.

The insane part is, I started subscribing the 9th of August in 2022. I would ASSUME it would be renewed the 9th of August every year. I am billed on the 9th every month, after all. It's currently August 14th, and 2 weeks have not passed since the presumed renewal date. YET I'M STILL MET WITH A CANCELLATION FEE. Exactly WHEN can I cancel this garbage without being charged and exorbitant fee if not now?!

This is predatory, should be illegal, and I sure as hell hope they get sued to oblivion for this.

It is these sort of practices that lead people to piracy, and I will never in a million years ever give this garbage company another cent of my money. I hope hell has reserved an especially gruesome spot for the executive fucks who came up with the idea of having a cancellation fee for a monthly billed subscription model.

After a year of (unsuccessful) attempts, I have to remove this from my HDD :(

I usually download 5-10 classic movies per month, and seed them for at least 2 more days before I make room for the next batch. This movie (I motorizzati) took some time: I added the VXT release from the old RARBG catalog more than a year ago, but after sloooowly reaching 89,3 % in a month it's stuck. The 1080p Yify one seems to be quite popular, but it's the same story after 10 months. It seems this one is lost :(

(After more than 6 months I got the 720p release, and the movie is OK but nothing special, still this was a matter of principle for me)

ACCUMULATED RELEASE SIZE FOR July 2024

From the 55.266 scene releases, only 12.799 of them had file + size information.

They total to: 1.129,44 TB (1.184.305.751 MB) in 222 thousand files (222.200).

No idea about the size of the missing information, so the real value should be much higher.

Basically I read a post how this Manifest V3 would stop Chromium Browsers to use Ublock Origin. I'm personally addicted to Ublock Origin and I can't navigate without it. That's why I decided myself to finally switch. I wasn't sure I could personalize they way I wanted, but after 3 hours of tinkering both on desktop and mobile, I can say that I'm satisfied with my customization.

Just want to ask you folks if you think is the right choice . I ask this because one of the first thing I read in this subs wiki is to install both Firefox and Ublock. Is this still the superior choice?

On mobile I installed Firefox Nightly because I wanted to have Bypass Paywalls Clean. Apparently the base version doesn't allow to install from file on Android.

I guess this is more of a rant than anything else, but I didn't find any other posts about it on here so I figured I might bring it up. I bought a TI Nspire series calculator when I was in middle school and have been using it for well over 5 years. This calculator also comes with a perpetual license to the computer software, which allows you to transfer files, make files in the calculator's format (edit; I now learn that there are other softwares that do this, but that's not the point of this post), and has an emulator for the calculator. I also intentionally keep the calculator and computer software outdated in order to run Ndless jailbreak.

I bought a new laptop and wanted to transfer my license, only to find out that TI has now switched to a subscription account based system and that they are no longer going to honor my perpetual license, and instead just give me a credit for a four year license.

TI is also known for generally treating their customers well, but this is absurd. I shouldn't have to pirate software that I own!

Not sure who I should thank so I'll just make this general post.I'm very grateful for stumbling upon this sub. In my house we had to cancel our streaming subscription and my mother wanted to watch a new series that was the follow up of one she had finished,but the one she was looking for was on a different platform that we didnt have. Now,I could set it all up and she is super grateful cause all the other streaming websites on the internet I found on the listed links. I love you,mom.

Thank you so much again.
