Cool. The government is incompetent and tech illiterate here so I’m safe anyway. It’s like running from a bear, I just have to outrun the others running from it.
There are people who pirate stuff from telegram using their mobile numbers, so I’m fine.
There are plenty of artists who use pirated software to create shit but haven’t got into trouble, the trick is to block the network requests and strip the Metadata.
And MS/Adobe would not go for a small patreon artist because they know that if they go too far, people will be pushed towards their competitors, which they don’t want since their business model hinges on being the most widely used software and thus not allowing any competition to grow.
>User posts a support query for paid software in a piracy sub.
>“Why not use FOSS instead?”
Every single time.
Not everyone has the time and resources to relearn a new piece of software when they already have their workflow sorted out. Nobody asked for FOSS alternatives, it’s a piracy sub.
Besides, shit like GIMP isn’t even half as good as photoshop.
Counterpoint: Movie “Critics” are supposed to be the ones who judge movie on how well made it is rather than their personal taste. Roger Ebert disliked a lot of films but didn’t deduct the scores because of it.
Funko critics on RT are not qualified to be critics.
There’s an infodump on cracking Denuvo by MKDEV on their discord channel. It’s something only they and EMPRESS have done so far.
I think cracking denuvo is a long and arduous task but you can try the newer Football Manager (they only cracked those games) as it won’t be much different and they already answer queries on their discord regarding cracking.
Specifically talking about India, people started buying PCs when they first used it in offices or cyber cafes back in early 00s. And windows was the obvious best choice. Apart from that, the GUI was always very convenient for home use cases too.
Not really. Offices were one of the major early adopters of computers and windows is perfect for them with plethora of features they offered right out of the package.
Windows GUI was groundbreaking, their text processing and excel was a game changer, and windows doesn’t allow you to delete your own boot partition with a sudo command so it was pretty idiot proof.
Once windows had the majority of marketshare, it was pretty obvious that whoever was buying PCs (back in the day it was more that a dad got a PC from his office or bought one which was similar), got it with windows.
