Pirated and OS software are different things, obviously. But would you prefer one over the other? I’m thinking of switching to both OS software AND pirated software. Just want opinions and tips from this community.

    people will hate about this, but as long as you didn’t installed malware, and you blocked pirated software with firewalls (simplewall:https://github.com/henrypp/simplewall), you can have “privacy” because it never connects to internet and you don’t give anyone information. so shoot for it if you want.

      Far be it from me to criticize people pirating this software but after some period of adjustment I’m very happy with the open source alternatives to most of these.

        Nowadays I’ve transitioned from all adobe software, but I’d be lying if I say I don’t miss them. Photoshop in particular is so good to use.

      To clarify, I use FMHY as my piracy wiki. Also, does disabling my internet also prevent connection of pirated software or no?
