I'm noticing a rise in software, media, and game piracy again. Why?
Because people are fed up.
SaaS fatigue. Subscription overload. Constant price hikes with minimal improvements. Products we never truly "own." DRM that breaks more than it protects.
It’s no longer just about "getting it free"—for many, it’s a protest. When Photoshop is $30/month and requires internet to launch, and movies are split across 6+ overpriced services, people will rebel.
We’ve modernized the tools, but repeated the mistake:
Make access too expensive or too frustrating, and piracy becomes a more ethical experience.
People don’t want to be free. They want fairness.

"I agree it's a genocide, but I somehow disagree with all of the natural conclusions you would have to draw about the world if it were a genocide" seems to be the new meta among liberal Zionists.
"It's a genocide, but leftists should form coalitions with the ideology causing it."
"It's a genocide directly co orchestrated by your government, but trying to stop it is worse than useless."
"It's a genocide but, y'know, there are other issues anyway. Better to just hope things turn around."
Looks like the "Verify your fedi account" scam is gaining pace, & evolving to look more real.
Your server admin will not ask you to click a link to verify your account. And no other admin from any other server will either, even if they do look like they could be part of the main Mastodon team. It's a scam.
Please report any post or DM that urges you to click any link to verify your account.
If you've any doubts about your account, now or on any other day, contact your server admin or mod team.
Israel is building a concentration camp in Rafah. They are openly saying they are building a tent camp for the remaining ~1.8 million residents of Gaza enclosed by the military out of which they will never be allowed to leave again. They will kill anyone who refuses to go and deport the rest from the camp until the population of Gaza is empty.
"Yes, but when you say that, I, an American Jew, choose to interpret this as a threat to me personally. So stop talking about it."
