Like I’ve said elsewhere, I’ve had good results finding pirated media using the Brave search engine. The main downside is that it’s run by Brave, and they are a bunch of cryptobros

I’ve had an easy time finding pirated stuff using the Brave search engine. Main downside is that its run by Brave. Not the best of people imho.

There’s so many works I’ve seen that I wish were created by someone other than their author/studio.

Mild example: Yesterday, a clip from an anime popped up in my Shorts feed, and it looked cool so I went to the comments to see if I could find the name. Right at the top, I see a comment I left saying “Don’t watch this, everything after episode 1 was incredibly mid. The plot sounds awesome when you describe it but in execution it was so fucking bland”. I don’t even remember leaving that comment.

(The anime in question was Daily Life of Immortal King. Protag is born with Ultra Instinct and only gets more powerful over time, so his family puts a magic seal on him to keep his power at the mere ultra-instinct he was born at. The anime follows him as he tries to keep a low profile at Xianxia hero school.)

Yes. But is it moral? Also yes. Will you get sued? Almost certainly not.

I think the core of the problem is that back in the bad old days, things needed to be tuned up a bit before they would work right and there was a marked lack of standardization. Now, not only do our devices work right out of the box, bit they also have little quality of life stuff as well. I haven’t bought a battery-powered device in years that wasn’t partially charged when I got it, and most devices come preinstalled with all the basic utility apps.

Never underestimate the ability of a small change to completely break a system

Where else would you post this?

Gonna save this for later

I think they don’t federate by default

I think this would probably be the real reason

Actually if you live in a college town, it’s not terribly hard to make friends with a lawyer in training. Also, Consultation is a thing. I can’t imagine that asking for advice could be expensive.

This just popped up in my feed again. I had almost forgotten that reddit still exists. Fuck you.
