I got a life time subscription when it first launched, thinking if it was still around in 3 years the subscription would have paid for itself self. I am a fan of Wendover and a few of the other creators so it was a good investment for me. The ability to find new content is lacking though, the only reason why I still have a gmail account is because I use Unwatched on my iPhone and iPad to watch my YouTube algorithm.
Really, they are going to call someone who uses windows a hacker?
Brave is chromium don’t be thinking it ain’t calling home somehow. First thing I do when I install a distro is make sure nothing Googlely is on there.
I am not sure of all the terms, but I do not see an ad blocker. Sure VPNs can do some of the work but get yourself a good DNS level ad blocker.
Touché, it does make it harder for them and anything they sell on you you wont see in search results, and yes turn off google 100 times yes turn off google!
Also use a pihole, or some other non commercial DNS ad blocker.
Be an even bigger pirate self host searxng and do not let big tech see or sell you!
Yeah but I hear they recently decided to raise their pricing by like 30%.
Joke being 30% of 0 is still 0
I hate seeing people using outdated software. It is just inviting agents in to do damage.
Hows about you don’t even worry about pirating it and just move to opensource?
I use wireguard to VPN into my LAN and access the DNS. I have wireguard running on a pizero 2 so the DNS is all it can do. In the not to distant future I plan on using a pi 5 for Wireguard so I will be able to access the LAN away from my LAN. Maybe I will look into rethink as well?
I have been having a rough day, I think I meant AdGuard I use Ublock on device as well
I know there is an argument between ublock and pihole, I prefer pihole I have worked on my pihole set up to be better than ublock but ublock for ease of use I guess.
What you actually mean is you have to spin up sonarr, and the related apps and cancel Netflix.
I am curious how many times have you gone to court? You obviously have access to internet or else you would not be here, you are on one of the more private places on the internet (fediverse) sure so the likelihood of “them” finding you on here is slim. If you are concerned about your privacy on line as I am sure many of us on Lemmy are look into getting an internet connection to your home, accept that you will have to pay taxes and invest in a really solid Pihole or Adguard home setup.
I started with pihole years ago, and when I was still on reddit people started switching over to Adguard home because they thought it was better. I still see people saying they are switching to Adguard because it does one or two things better, I just find out how to do it with pihole sure there are things pihole doesn’t do that Adgaurd home does but I am of the understanding there are things pihole does that adguard home does not do.
Open source it do not go with Adobe, unless you absolutely have to.
I am a fan of the *arr apps like https://sonarr.tv/.
I am going to guess you are not using linux so I bet the windows and mac installers explain things a lot easier than what I have running on a raspberry pi.
I was a Mac girl back in the 90’s and there were not many of my friends who also used Macs, so pirating was not much of a thing until I discovered emulators. I really enjoy NES games particularly Super Mario Bro’s 1 and 3 so I had emulators to play those. My parents would not let us get a system until I was in like high school, but I also became disabled before grade 8 so I got a Windows laptop and let me tell you did I ever pirate stuff then, in the early 2000’s.
Then I grew a conscience thinking artists made money from sales of their music, and I started paying for stuff. I understand things so much differently now a days, so I have gone back to the high seas!
It was great
Don’t worry soon those will go away, with the death of physical media why would they bother advertising on youtube when they can just advertise on their store’s webpage. Sure Microslop backed down (a little) when they tried killing physical, but Nintendo has not and Sony is already retooling its centres that printed disks. You will pay for stuff but not own it and you will be happy about it!
Just remember: If buying is not owning piracy is not stealing!
