Seems we had a similar idea –

Currently seeding all these.

In my country it is decriminalised unless you’re doing it at a very large scale and charging money, so I’m home free.

My ISP does block most torrent trackers – But changing DNS providers is enough to get around that.

Depends what country you’re in

Can’t speak for any country but my own (Brazil)

The reason WhatsApp is such a thing here is an interesting little historical path.

See, texting never really took off here in Brazil. Because phone service providers would charge per individual message. And while the charge was like 5 cents per message, that shit builds up. So unless you’re rich… You won’t be texting.

So when smartphones, and with them, data plans (that offered very little data, around 4 gigs is the average nowadays, it was a few megs back then) came around, internet-based messaging services became our texting. Because if you have, idk, 512 megs of data in your plan, that’s not a lot but it is more than enough for messaging over an app.

WhatsApp was the one that got popular, no idea why.

It was popular with the youths™ first in the early 10s, then families hopped on, dragged in by their young-adult kids no doubt, and then… Everything! Because once the Boomers had learned how to use this one app, every business under the sun realised it could serve their purposes as well. And eventually… So did the government.

You want to order pizza? WhatsApp. Want to contact a government agency? WhatsApp. Want to schedule a doctor’s appointment? WhatsApp.

Now, I got my friends and family on Telegram, largely because Telegram has nicer features (still closed source though grumble grumble) but I still need WhatsApp for work. It’s how I talk to everyone: The team, the boss, the contacts, etc.

I’ve made local copies of the code base and executables for both emus. Just in case.

Not that I think it’s needed per se. Projects were open source, and while the devs are barred from continuing application development… It’s a matter of time before the dust settles and some nerds pick up the code base and work on it

(for now any forks are just copy pastes made by randos, but that’s now)

Small exception for when two for profit companies are fighting each other. At that point it becomes a question of which is the lesser evil.

For some reason I won’t even pretend to comprehend, it remains the industry default in Brazil. Might be in a couple other countries too. Adobe Illustrator is the “other one”, if you follow.

Finally: ClosedSubtitles

EDIT: Also, MAN, a lot of straight up bootlicking in this thread. What the fuck kind of pirates are you? lmao

Imma be a weirdo here: I use Emby.
