Because Darktable is that kind of open-source app that’s designed in an incomprehensible way and is almost unusable. And, because anytime I can pirate from Adobe, I’m gonna do it 👍

No worries there. I don’t even need the new one as long as it supports my camera.

Hush now, sweet summer child. I don’t mind that you’re putting musicians out onto the street.

Spotify is terrible, but you seem to be saying that since none of these have every single album, you’ve chosen to pirate it all? Not sure if that was the reason.

I shouldn’t have said “all the music that exists,” more like “an overwhelming majority of existing music.”

I’m always curious why people do this. Music is the one item where it’s easier to just sub to something like Apple Music… literally $110/yr for all the music that exists. They gave us the solution we asked for and it’s super-cheap.

I pirate the shit out of movies and tv since those guys are gouging me, but musicians barely get by in the streaming era.

Hopefully this triggers nobody. I’m making no judgements.

I thought I wasn’t gonna give a shit about this, but it was quite enjoyable. Too bad, so sad! Looks like that guy’s discord is now well known for the wrong reasons…

Yup. I get that they need to monetize the site so they can keep it open, but it seems like when you’re writing for an audience of pirates, those guys are all gonna have ad blockers anyway.

I’m not about to drop them since nobody else does what they do, but that shit is painful.

Yeah, it’s SEO-style writing. A pox on humanity.

Goddamn, I’ve been reading Torrentfreak for years and even have them in my RSS. They’re irreplaceable.

I just wish I could send their writer/writers back to school. So. Painful. To read. Twice as long as needed, every article.
