Since some Lemmy users have asked me via DM and also searched my other socials to ask me about my old bypass I thought I'd share my new one with Lemmy too.

I also uploaded the source in case anyone wants to look at it (or even extend it, who knows).

Sorry for the extraordinary wait.

Edit: Removed most of the post and added git link.

Ok @db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com Let's settle this debate, does the dbzer0 instance and/or the Piracy community here push the "Good Guy Valve" stance and thus consider this bad practice, or do we consider Valve to be like any other company which uses DRM in regards to this situation. That is to say it is permitted and encouraged like breaking any other DRM.
Would love to hear your thoughts on this matter.

If dn0 isn't available, another community mod or instance admin can feel free to answer this, I CCed you in the bottom of this comment. I apologize if the ping was annoying.

I guess, do whatever fits your budget and/or conscience? I don't think we push a particular philosophy. Folks pirate for different reasons.

[–] Draconic_NEO@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 3 months ago

That makes sense. Everyone has different motives and reasons for pirating, would make sense that we wouldn't push one thing or the other like that person is suggesting. Thanks for your feedback.

Personally, I pirate just about everything but do buy what I like from indie devs. Bonus if it is on GOG.

That is also my approach
