Alterware Is the updated build of iW4x you can still download.
Works for either Steam or old iW4x builds if you still got the files laying around.
Just letting people know the files for the mod got leaked and some people are working on reviving it already.
There was a discord giving out the leaked build but it got shut down but over 1000 people are currently playing it.
I loved it back when Firefox was adding features like cross site cookie protection and copying urls without trackers.
If they got back on that path instead of Ai and “privacy friendly” tracking, Then they’ll start to regain my trust.
LibreWolf is just Firefox without Mozilla’s shadiness, So it’s kinda a hard sell to get me to go back.
Pretty sure LibreWolf will ship without the Ai. They normally remove invasive stuff before compiling rather than disabling it in a config later.
This goes for any content not just piracy sites. Just the other day I seen someone I watch delete half of their videos but luckily I had downloaded everything.
There’s a bunch of stuff from Youtube alone I can’t see again because I didn’t download it when I had the chance…
Funnily Metallica was the first thing 11yo me pirated after some older student told me about uTorrent/PirateBay.
Same guy also sent me some Slayer and Entombed over bluetooth. Hope he’s doing good these days.
To my fellow Brits, a VPN is NOT optional at this point you’re just putting yourself at unnecessary risk.
Mullvad is £50 for a whole year, and you can pay by mailing cash to their office or buying a gift card so it’s not directly tied to your bank account.
And where in the world you live.
I got a friend in Australia with a pretty similar storage setup to me, but he’s paid about 1.5x as much as I did in the UK.
Rules for thee but not for me
I ain’t gonna say it’s as easy as Windows but I personally haven’t had too much trouble running cracked games using the Lutris launcher.
Lutris also lets you show logs by right click on the game, So if you get an error while playing or loading it gives you something to look up.
Also you can ask for help over at /c/linuxcracksupport@lemmy.world
Welcome to the club!
Not only that but the original mixes of albums often don’t get put on streaming platforms because of licensing bullshit or whatever.
And especially for rock and metal the newer remasters of popular albums tend to be pretty bad and overly compressed or have weird post EQ added.
‘It’s not fair that we keep getting scammed and others don’t’
So just don’t give them money next time?
‘LALALALA I can’t hear you, it’s your fault not mine LALALALA’
I use uBlock but every now and then Twitch ads start slipping through, They normally go back to being blocked with the next uBlock update.
It’s a real cat and mouse game.
Truly Spain without the S
My buddy in Spain says the block it pretty easier to get around at least.
I’m sadly aware…which is another reason why I try go straight to the band/artist first.
It’s not that I won’t but I do try to go out of my way to support smaller artists I enjoy, especially nowadays.
Lucky it’s gotten a lot easier with sites like Bandcamp, but it’s better if I can buy directly from the bands own store.
I’ve seen stuff like that in subtitles during the opening or ending credits a few times. Never when the movie was still playing tho…
As a newer Linux user Nix both fascinates and terrifies me.
I’ve been running EndeavourOS for a few months and haven’t had much trouble getting cracked games running through Lutris. Most of my cracked games are older 2000s/early 2010s titles, and at most they need a community patch similar to running the game on Windows 10 and changing a setting in Winetricks.
I have pirated stuff I know I own because the pirated copy was better quality than what I actually paid for.
I’ve own GTA 4 on Steam for years but recently sort out a cracked copy because I keep having issues with Rockstars shitty DRM and them removing songs from the radio in updates.
