"What's a pirate's favorite letter?"

"r/"

"Aye, he liked the r/, but it's the c/ that he really loves."

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago

What did the pirate say when he turned 80??

"Aye matey"

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

"Commons, copyleft, chaos... hehehe, i really like this letter."

There's links to the restricted Piracy subreddit now which need to be replaced i think ? Like this one in the FAQ : https://www.reddit.com/r/Piracy/comments/n62da6/how_do_you_guys_know_if_a_virus_warning_is_a/gx4whhz/

Not sure where to ask this, so I'll ask here. Linking to pirate sites (not content) is okay here as I understand it. However my account is with Lemmy.world, which in its "rules" specifically states "Protect our community from harassment, malicious or illegal content". Would I technically be at the whim of Lemmy.world by linking to pirate sites, or do I have some leeway here?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

This kind of Piracy (not to be confused with the whole ship plundering one) is not a crime in most of the World, rather it's a Civil Law affair, so roughly in the same basket as breach-of-contract.

I suspect the whole "illegal content" stuff is about things like child porn or bomb making instructions, not breach of copyright.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I think when they say 'illegal content' they mean, like, drugs and terrorism. Piracy probably ranks pretty low on the list.

Now yes the definition of piracy technically fits in the definition of 'illegal content', but just because two definitions intersect doesn't mean you will get the logical consequences. The word of the rules is one thing, the rules in practice is another, so i think you can get away with a lot regardless of instance.

Besides, do the rules apply to the instance where you have your account, or to the instance where you're posting/commenting? I genuinely don't know

I'm so glad to be able to find this community again. 😭

Is there a tracker that gets most switch games? I used to use nsw2u, but lately most games area direct DL and not torrent. IPThads some of the games, but many of the ones I'm looking for are missing.

@[email protected] rentry.co seems to be down. Please edit to rentry.org. Endpoint can stay the same

Has there been a replacement for The Trove? Last time I looked all the links following the take down no longer worked.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

We need WWE/AEW and UFC streams to watch if we missed it live. Also, what are the live stream sites for these shows? The mega thread doesn’t have reliable or currently active options. Soap2day was the best at this.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

thank you !! glad to have the community back :D

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

I’m a bit confused. I only see the headings of the wiki and their symbols/emoji. I don’t see content. I somewhat lurked this community but now I’m surprised. It seems my monocle cannot go past the fog!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Anyone know of any active TTRPG book sharing community? Mine have all gone dark over the years.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Apologies if you're asking for something different but I recently discovered https://annas-archive.org/ which is great for books.

Fellow Pirates, passing Tor via VPN, takes all sense on being on the Tor network. Otherthing is that if you re using mullvad VPN client you are assigned the mullvad DNS.

Jus a few dits

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Megathread link not working for anyone else.

Currently, the .co domain is experiencing a DNS resolver issue (comes and goes). I tested it on Cloudflare, Quad9, and NextDNS, all with Firefox.

Edit: .co domains are all working again, but you can use .org as well.
