Hell yeah.

I appreciate that the anarchists are canonically the fire. Warms my little heart.

There’s flags set in the torrent tracker that might be getting in the way here in combination with the port issue.

There might be a seed, but he can’t forward ports.

The data getting updated from “last seen” is the tracker telling your client a check in happened from a seeder I believe.

Some trackers also won’t play nice and tell the seeder about you properly if your client has a history of leeching perhaps. Enforcement of ratio etc.

You could try another client perhaps, but if multiple behave the same then you are not going to get anywhere. Perhaps try getting a temporary vps to torrent into and then pull from there. Seed boxes can solve many issues, just be mindful of cost over time.

If you can get in, Torrentleech has some items:

Adobe Zii 2021 6.0.5.zip

Its also included in Photoshop etc there.

If you have access to any private torrent trackers, if they don’t have it, you might be able to get an invite from someone on those.

This guy torments.

Seriously though, if you are cautious and stick to actual communities instead of just public or private trackers run for glam, you will usually be fine. Communities clamp down really fast if there’s a report of virus etc.

The quality of releases typically is far better, since uploading crap like virus or video covered in ads is a dick move™️

Some yes, but some no. A few I’ve been on are downright absurd in how most of the things are free.

I agree about not having to pay etc too.

I suspect I’ve just gotten lucky but several of the trackers I’ve found are easy to just let the ARRs do their thing.

Unlike Dump I actually would want to see Bama’s wife naked.

Not really a strong conviction here, but she seems like she’s not all plastic yet. A mind up there, too… Always good in my list

Also, she at least looks like someone who’s actually had an orgasm in the past 40 years or so.

His word spreads like fire as it’s only the best, mostest truthiest truth.

Places that buy other companies to dismantle or lay off large chunks of staff and take over IP with minimal or absent quality to show from it. Just maximize that investor dollar.

Microsoft, Disney etc.

The harm performed far outweighs any investment from a “toward the artists” I see come back.

or even a group that funded it

I noted I’m ok with investors.

I’m against parasitic groups that feed on properties and prevent money getting to the actual dev folks.

Hey man, you can’t park that here

Ditto on Spotify. I have big love for piracy of FLAC for my personal music server, but I also have a decent rack filled with physical offerings from my favorite bands.

My Bandcamp collection is also getting up there, since a few of my favs say they are treated well there, and it’s FLAC friendly as well.

Physical media or merch directly from the band is absolutely the way to go every time if possible.

Cool argument, except a huge quantity of pirated works aren’t “owned” by the creator or even a group that funded it, but instead by parasitic companies that abuse capitalistic tools to actually steal value from those creators.

I have thousands of purchased games. 3 categories here:

1: obtained as part of a pack (humble gog etc)

2: purchased AFTER trying out via pirate copy to know if it is my kind of thing

3: picked up early access due to demo or general interest from being a known smaller dev/studio (hare brained for example)

With less and less access to shareware and viable demos, piracy is often the only conduit to prevent me getting ripped off of $80 for something that looks like a shiny sports car but end up being another “buy $800 in dlc for the full story!” Ford pinto.

Additionally, I now flat refuse to fund the likes of Denuvo, and wish that piracy actively hurt the bottom line of companies deploying that kind of anti-user shit.

Can he run for vice Pres if Musk actually creates this party?

Agreed. Several of his books have suffered the same fate unfortunately.

That said, the ideas do still ring very true… Albeit, many of them are the ideas I wish were more fantasy.

He doesn’t deserve you.

It’s tricky to get an abusive narcissist out of your head. They have a way of living there.

No joke! That’s been the worst!

I’m glad you still have her around, and the chance to share time without the negatives.

I am. My 21 year old daughter has been evidence that I’m doing something ok despite, and it’s amazing.

One of the most healing things so far has been the fact that I can look back and feel confident that I was right every time I thought “this feels like it is wrong and should be different”. My daughter still finds me regularly for spontaneous hugs and any time something needs fixing that she hadn’t figured out yet.

I hope you find a similar chance. It’s deserved.

Solidarity. I can say that from the other side of that coin, it’s not always better… Divorced when I was 12, I told my mother “about fucking time” and got slapped.

My single mother later destroyed my teenage years and 20s. She died and it took 10 years for the financial fraud to fall away. I’m still working to escape damage from her extorting and manipulating me by threatening to accuse me of molesting my daughter with several of her friends willing to lie to police.

I hope you at least came away with positives to build with.
