Check the laws and regulations in your country (or ask others who know). In my country you pretty much don’t need these, especially if you use a private tracker. But I heard that in other places you are actually getting fined if they spot you.

I’m using last.fm to scrobble my music to. It brings me the most Spotify features minus the streaming part (even has a neat playback thing which appears at the end of the year instead of at the begining of december)

Did they release the actual music yet?

Damn

@far_university1990 yes but the legal precedent has been set, lol

(/s maybe)

Hmmm, that got me thinking: if you selfhost, you make sure you also instal ollama or some LLM you can also self-host. You don’t need to use the LLM yourself at all. Then if something goes south, and you’re accused of piracy, you can just defend yourself that you used all these materials to train your own LLM. That should get you out of trouble, right?

Why did I initially read this as Premium Pentium? lol

Then don’t worry about it

@Panda1606 worst they can do is remove the license from you. Use it as you please and while you can.

Edit: did you also have to input your card details? If yes, check if you haven’t been billed already.

@SmokeyDope thank you!

You can find good stardicts of just about every dictionary on the internet if you look hard enough

I’m just amazed by this. Can you point me to some of the more common places where one could start? I could really use some new dictionaries 😁

@zaknenou be sure to ;) 👉👉

@zaknenou damn… I’m sorry!

@zaknenou try cobalt.tools

@incognito08 AI could be a direction in piracy too imo

War on drugs
War on terror
War on chat encryption

@14th_cylon they’re using duckduckgo though.

@Pyflixia This one might be a very obscure thing, but back when I was in high school, I used to download music from a website called mp3ostrov.rucom (edit: it was .com, apparently). Of course, the website was in Russian and I couldn’t understand a damn thing, so I had to resort to the Chrome translation for it (Or I guided myself with the icons). But it had so much music on it, and it was really easy to get. And whatever I could not source from there, I downloaded from YouTube, but the downloader I used had too many ads.

@Joseph_Boom I just go to the biggest file, and it is usually the movie

@onlinepersona I think I might start using Signal as well today.
