Bearskin bug? Happy pride month!

To be fair, they are entitled to moderate their instance however they see fit, as are we. On the whole, it’s good to have a diversity of instances in the Fediverse, because then you get to pick and choose which ones you want in your feed, according to your interests.

Having said that, I understand your frustration and share some of your concerns. There’s a relevant post on .world right now on that very topic… https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/21652340

@Andromxda@lemmy.dbzer0.com looks like the backlog has started to subside now. We will monitor until it normalises.

Unfortunately, I’m not getting any response from the .ml admins here or on Matrix, so if anyone wants to reach out to them and ask them to restart their sender that would be great, as the issue is ongoing.

Edit: still crickets from .ml admins ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Can confirm, it’s only the piracy communities that are blocked, and we are still otherwise federated with lw. It’s not really a big problem as far as we are concerned, they can pick and choose whatever communities suit their instance. We will have lost some clicks and visibility from them, but at the end of the day, it’s not going to affect our share price lol.

So long as you are getting m0nkrus’ software from the links here then you should be ok. There is no 100% guarantee of safety though with any pirated software. All I can say is that many people here have been using m0nkrus’ releases literally for years without ever experiencing any viruses or malware.

Bear in mind that it is fairly common practice for software vendors to post claims of viruses in cracked versions of their software, to scare people off from downloading them.

There is a detailed thread about it here. Looking at the “detections” in virustotal, it looks like a false positive to me though.

Also note that m0nkrus is still listed as trusted in the megathread, so there hasn’t been any compelling evidence so far to make them untrustworthy. GenP exists as an alternative and they have a wiki about their method here but note that they also still recommend m0nkrus as an alternative method with the following disclaimer, which suggests always installing the individual app versions instead of the so called “Master Collection”:

There has been some hacking related complaints towards the Collection version specifically (accounts like google, instagram or facebook), but it’s never clear since usually people download from other random sources, got it from youtube, use bunch of other crap, and so on.

At the same time, there are those who use / used individual version or even the collection, and have never had any of those related issues at all.

The amount of data leaks have been increasing, so certain accounts could’ve already been leaked a while back but just nothing happened until then.

There’s a mix of opinions, those who trust and those who don’t, since there’s never a clear conclusive proof or replication of the same problem it’s a gray area.

❗ The links in the reddit and suggestions are to the source, and not other random file hosts.

⚠️ If going with Monkrus, please USE ONLY THE INDIVIDUAL VERSIONS (these should be alright) and NEVER the Collection version (has been dropped due to several correlations with malware, and malfunctions). - This has been said several times, but the majority skips on the reading, so it’s your problem going forward.

Edit: I realise OP was asking about AutoDesk and not Adobe apps but the same general advice applies.

@dessalines@lemmy.ml could you restart your sender?

Thanks for reporting the issue. I’m sure db0 will take a look when he gets the chance.

Awesome!

Lol. And yes, Windows 10 IoT LTSC version has support until 2032.

You can still pirate Windows 11 matey. And don’t forget Win 10 LTSC edition still has support until 2027.

Nice false dichotomy.

That last 6% (which seems very arbitrary tbh) includes such concepts as “anti-authoritarianism” though, which is a core concept of anarchism. M-Ls on Lemmy generally endorse a centrally planned economy and state ownership of capital and resources, which inevitably leads to state authoritarianism (or so history tells us). Most M-L leftists here are happy to defend that kind of authoritarianism, so long as it’s in opposition to the Western liberal democracy. I think that’s why anarchists argue so much with M-Ls, because it’s a core and arguably irreconcilable difference in ideology.

I agree with you that in an ideal world, anarchists and M-Ls would have little to argue about, but given the sheer number of tankies arguing that China and Russia are basically faultless (even while admiting they are no longer truly communist or socialist) and throwing their support behind the most despicable theocratic and/or authoritarian regimes, like Iran, Yemen, North Korea and Russia, just because they see it as a way to diminish Western liberal democracies, there seems to be a lot to argue about nowadays. Replacing a one authoritarian state with just another authoritarian state does not seem like progress.

That’s cool, sounds lke you are a based leftist, not a tankie.

The litmus test for me is whether you support/apologise for the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

They won’t say it’s socialist, but they still defend anything Russia does because it’s anti-western, which is more important for the current generation of tankies.

Fashjacketing anyone who criticises China’s government says more about you than me.

The fact you accept that 98% statistic with total credulity is telling. The Ceaușescu government in Romania also claimed similar levels of support. So does Putin. What’s the one thing they have in common?
