You are conflating the two meanings of free. Pirated software does not improve your freedom and open source is not necessarily free.
That being said I’ve seen a few indie game studios making pro-piracy statements or even putting the game on torrent networks themselves. But these are the one that deserve the most to be paid.
They do kill uBlock Origin. The Lite version is a different extension.
Yes but that’s not the same. Because of Chrome limitation it can’t update it’s blocklist directly. You have to update the whole extension to update the blocklist and that goes through Google validation in the Chrome store. It adds delay and Google could even refuse some updates. The blocklist is also shorter because not all filter rules are supported.
But it’s not run in a sandbox. I’m not sure where you get this from.
Same, I could not go back now.
It build in a sandbox, but it’s not run in a sandbox.
Yeah, I don’t think that’s the best selling point for desktop use. For me it’s having all my configs for all my devices in a single place, checked in git, with bits of config I can easily share between my different devices.
Well, first of all you really should not be using Windows 7 anymore. For the TPB, I don’t think they check the torrents, anyone can upload so it’s not a trusted source. It’s in the unsafe sites list on the megathread. And how would you know that you never had a malware on the TPB?
From what I gathered Amazon is the only one that includes an identifier. Look for a string starting with “atv:kin”.

Some have an interview process in place (notably redacted). Once you get in a first one (either through interview, open signup or any other way) you can start climbing the ranks, at some point you should have access to an invite section on the tracker forum where you can find invites to other trackers (not all trackers have an invite forum and they don’t have access to the same invites).
Well set and settings is everything with psychedelics. There is a huge difference between a trip with friends at a party, an environment that can feel very hostile while triping, and a trip by yourself in a safe, calm and comfortable place which will ends up much more instrospective. You rarely get profound, lasting, altering experiences with the former.
This is not trying to deny the usefulness of other ways to deal with it, that just one more possible tool.
That’s the thing, psychedelics may be short term acting drugs but the experiences they allow can have lasting, profound effects on our perception of the world. You can’t make generalization on all drugs, they’re all so different, that’s nonsensical. I highly recommends you read “How to Change Your Mind” by Michael Pollan, that’s a great introduction to the subject.
This, of course, can only tell you if an apk is malicious, it cannot tell you if it is not malicious.
I can’t, I forgot most of it. But a little search returned some results:
But it’s also true that sometimes it’s not done with a pro-piracy stance but they would just rather have it pirated than bought through key-resellers as these can hurt indy-game dev a lot.
