The first use-case that came to mind for me is research. A distraction-free dedicated application for wikipedia could be a great way to keep organized, especially if new features are added and expanded upon over time that go beyond the typical browser experience.

It’s not a workflow for everyone and if wikipedia is something that’s usually just accessed through other search engines then this probably won’t be all that useful to you.

No clue, but you only gotta run it once so if you’re concerned you could run it get the .auz and then go back to a previous restore point, could also throw it in virustotal and check the behavior tab to check that ur copy isn’t dropping weird files in places it shouldnt or anything like that before running on your system

Think most the time people replace the patch exe or the installer with malicious version since that’s low hanging fruit, wouldn’t be too worried over the keygen tbh

Pretty much just gotta have a friend with a good ratio that has spare invites

Theres plenty groups of similar size and good rep in the audio scene too, r2r is the group thats supplying keygens and patches for newer ableton versions, thing is public trackers sometimes have modified version, once it leaves the scene who knows what gets bundled with it

Should add, rutracker is public but you need an account, that’s your best bet if you want it quick and don’t wanna have to ask around for an invite

Rutracker should have clean copies, audionews definitely does. Thing to look for is a signed installer a patched exe and a r2r keygen, if theres anything else in there or the ableton installer comes up as unsigned then its probably unsafe. Most of the time the keygen will come up as a PUP just like any other crack.

Could also try bobdules crack which is a direct download on his site and checks all those boxes (its just a keygen, patcher and link to the official ableton download page), haven’t tested it myself but it seems like his releases are pretty trusted.

Really don’t think it was made to be useful or practical in any way, just seems like some dude making shit that looks cool for funsies and trying to fund it, plus i mean its culturally relevant and stuff like that is in tons of media

every dollar prevented from going to cengage or pearson is a win for college students

but their online homework and grading subscriptions that they tie in with textbooks is definitely making it harder, especially the way they pay off schools to push their texts and curriculum on professors in stem fields, it’s awful and puts students in a position where they’re forced to pay for a textbook regardless

the only case i could see it stopping someone is if they just pirate for funsies and have the disposable income to buy anything they want lmao. if you need something and cant afford it then inconveniences and annoyances don’t matter

Not at all, from my experience they teach you how to use the websites and programs needed to complete assignments and nothing more, same went for teachers and faculty who would have no idea how to do things like change inputs on displays, turn on projectors, tell the difference between online and local versions of software, etc

I’d take one, sounds sweet

i literally just listen to jungle and watch the occasional vid on sociology i’m just as confused as u are

oh for sure, it’s just on other platforms that usually only happens for content that I engage with or have engaged with in the past, which isn’t the case for what I’ve been seeing on youtube. there’s no reason for the algorithm to push content that I engage with less than all other types of content

not sure of any trackers that offer collections like that, but I have seen a few blogs and forums that post collections of electronic subgenres as torrents.

on soulseek a lot of people organize their music by genre and sometimes you’ll find dj’s with giant unsorted folders of specific styles, so if you don’t mind spending some time cleaning up tags then that might be the way to go

Been getting right wing content in my recommended in the past week too, haven’t seen any of that since maybe 2017 when “sjw owned” videos were getting boosted like crazy by the algorithm, today I got recommended a video that looked like straight up fascist apologia. It’s really weird because I’ve pretty much only used youtube to watch explicitly left wing content or view content that has a largely left wing audience (music, visual art etc.) for the past 4 or so years, and whenever I do see right wing content I always click don’t recommend. I really hope it’s just my feed being fucky and that we won’t see another alt right pipeline sort of situation
