It’s a good way to get your data stolen/malware. Don’t get me wrong from 10-18 I used pirated software exclusively. But it’s not secure or a good idea at all if you’re going to use, say, banking or crypto stuff. You can get a winblows key from a reseller for like $15-20USD. I personally wouldn’t mess around with any of it anymore. I got a bunch of cool art programs in a bundle for I think $25 ($400 usd value) that I use now, and before that I used Krita.

RockLobstore@lemmy.mlto DeGoogle Yourself@lemmy.ml•Your guide to moving away from Gmail and finding a new email service!2·4 days agoHow hard is that? And how secure would it actually be? Not criticizing just curious why more people don’t do it.
RockLobstore@lemmy.mlto Books@lemmy.ml•It’s been thirty years since I read this book, and (as I listen to the audiobook) I remember so much…4·5 days agoRed wall was awesome I’d hoped to pass my books along to the next generation to enjoy, but Print media is for old people now. I guess.
RockLobstore@lemmy.mlto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Superhero content fans, what kind of media do you want to see in the future?1·5 days agoDark animation like The Watchman series from 2024. No more marvel slop.
So…. Anyone want to sponsor me for a work visa outside the USA? This ship is sinking and I’m surrounded by racist assholes apparently, and I want out!! Seriously….
I personally don’t cheat, wouldn’t cheat, being Demi/ace. But unfortunately everyone around me either cheats or has an open relationship then gets jealous when their SO gets some action. A lot of them have STDs.
RockLobstore@lemmy.mltoUnited States | News & Politics@lemmy.ml•AOC's district sees 70% crime surge6·10 days agoPolice stopped responding to a lot of stuff in democratic/swing states and the public perception of dems got trashed imo.
RockLobstore@lemmy.mlto World News@lemmy.ml•No evidence of genocide in Gaza, UK lawyers say in arms export case2·10 days ago🤮 the news makes me so sick, but it’s kind of our duty to know what goes on around the world funded by our tax dollars.
RockLobstore@lemmy.mlto Privacy@lemmy.ml•Does installing Linux on a Mac keep Apple from getting your data?3·11 days agoWhy do you want to install it on a Mac when you can get a PC for way less? But definitely.
RockLobstore@lemmy.mlto Videos@lemmy.ml•BadEmpanada - Liberals SHOCKED to Find Israel is Genociding Gaza1·11 days agoUS politics is a complete joke Idiocracy was supposed to be a satire! But people just don’t care or pay attention unless it affects their lives directly. Even the “good” ones, with good intentions, and kindness in their day to day interactions. I just don’t understand how people can compartmentalize like that…
It’s a JOKE. What. You guys don’t understand how ridiculous that plot is?
RockLobstore@lemmy.mlto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What were you ahead on the curve of in hating?7·15 days agoX/Twitter/BlueSky I like long conversations with lots of information and while I use them now, it’s only because that’s where people post.
RockLobstore@lemmy.mlto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Whats the last thing you laughed at so hard that you lost control of yourself?2·17 days agoThat’s…. The last time? Man you might need a night out on the town.
RockLobstore@lemmy.mlto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Whats the last thing you laughed at so hard that you lost control of yourself?2·17 days agoThat’s some weird bastardized/hacked Pavlovian response. But hey, musics on, time for sex.
You have education, skills, and presumably a clean criminal record. Get out of the USA now!! Before you can’t anymore.
RockLobstore@lemmy.mlto Privacy@lemmy.ml•Why does Signal want a phone number to register if it's supposedly privacy first?43·17 days agoTried session? Anyone have comments on it? Nice to be able to skip the phone and easily use vpn, though I haven’t spent enough time on that.
RockLobstore@lemmy.mlto Privacy@lemmy.ml•Is a NAS the ultimate goal? Which yes - which one?101·19 days agoA nas is just a crippled home server. Just run a home server and it can act as your nas, too, and not be crippled. You don’t need a rack mount solution just build a pc in your price range (I built an i3 server this year for around $200 that will blow any NAS out of the fucking water) and install the appropriate OS/Software. All it does is run plex now, but I’m thinking of stealing some of your privacy focused ideas maybe I’ll setup next cloud, too :)
RockLobstore@lemmy.mlto World News@lemmy.ml•Woman wins £30,000 compensation for being compared to Darth Vader31·20 days agoIf people could get paid for every time a coworker made an unfavorable comparison about them, the USA would collapse. Many work environments I’ve been in have been very toxic, with reports actually yielding more abuse or consequences (cut hours, unreasonable expectations going forward, etc). While the UK libel laws go a little far, we could definitely use that kind of culture of responsibility in the USA.
Don’t connect it to the internet at all. Use a computer/appletv/roku whatever. A computer with your favorite Linux distribution to use just as a video player might be ok, I don’t know if you can get all the Dolby/HD stuff setup though unless you use a “commercial” solution. I use a w10 machine for the hd video sparkles.
