It’s fine to be paid for labour eg programming.

I am not super knowledgeable about crypto but I thought Monero was untraceable? All the privacy-focused services I’ve seen allow you to pay by Monero. A few accept cash by envelope too.

kyun.host is mullvad-like insofar as your account is identified by a random account ID and they dont necessarily have an email etc on you (you can provide one so they can contact you if you want but that’s optional). Have not used their services myself but I’m aware of them.

Thanks!

Where are you getting this message from? Do they have a Telegram channel where you can get news?

https://libgen.is/ is still working for me

Wow. At least it’s easy to sideload apps in Android.

Agree about the difficulty uploading. I tried to share torrents on a few sites for a video game (which was no longer possible to buy or download legitimately anyway) and some books I’d scanned but got rejected 🤷‍♀️ I understand they have to maintain a quality of uploads and uploaders but it would be nice if they could stay away malware while still making the barrier to entry for sharing your own benign torrents low.

I stopped using those hacked spotify apps as I had to hunt down a fresh new apk every time there was an update and I just couldn’t be bothered. I just dont use Spotify anymore at all. Do you have a good solution to this or are you doing the same?

What I do personally is get any music I want from soulseek and then sync my music directory across devices with syncthing. Although I’m planning on renting a vps to put my music on at some point as it’s taking up quite a lot of my phone storage now.

On desktop I like to use mpd with ncmpcpp. On Android(/GrapheneOS) I’m using Metro as my music player.

I’ve seen people accusing her of being a trans woman before, which obviously she has always responded to with transphobia and denial. I see no reason to believe her to be trans unless you have evidence

Given how expensive phones are in terms of environmental cost you really shouldn’t be buying new phones unless your current one’s broken to the point of unusable.

I think they typoed “fully”

I think PS is a lot more intuitive than GIMP, as someone who also has used Linux and GIMP from a young age (though dual booting windows for most of my childhood, for pirated PS as one of the main reasons). I would love it if GIMP could get to PS’s level but tbh I don’t think they ever will just due to lacking the resources Adobe has. I don’t use PS anymore as I avoid proprietary software whenever at all possible (and I no longer have any windows machines and pirated PS is iffy on wine last time I tried) so I’m going to continue with GIMP, but yeah I still don’t think it holds a candle to the power and ease of use of PS unfortunately.

I do use their paid service, though I’m considering cancelling to switch to using a markdown editor with syncthing for notes. I wouldn’t have any complaints about the paid service specifically. I’d say it’s a fair enough deal if you can get it on a sale. My reasons for wanting to switch are because I don’t like using cloud services when unnecessary, and to a lesser extent I’d prefer a native app over an electron app

Notesnook. There’s quite a lot of private, secure, foss note taking apps, take your pick. Just check what features they have, eg some of them have no encryption at rest

I usually just pirate ebooks, rarely videos or games, so my piracy doesnt take up much space. For videos I just keep em around since I have the space, and if i need to clear space I can just delete something I’ve already watched. And tbh I don’t remember the last time I pirated a game, I don’t play games a lot and the ones I do play I own legally lol

Oh I do pirate music too. It’s currently not taking up much disk space so I’m not bothered. I would probably just buy another drive if i ran out if music space.

Does the torrent listing have any comments? Ofc positive comments doesn’t guarantee it’s not malware but I wouldn’t chance it if there’s no comments

That was the url my personal Z-library url redirects to, unless my personal url was compromised? Like, remember when they first went back online and you had to register to get your own url to access zlib? I’ve just been using that
