why aren't r/piratedgames here? I thought they migrated to lemmy too (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Not to start a war, but I think the place here is better for free discussion of games piracy. the lemmy community they site on their subreddit is literally dead, has just one or two posts. It would have been good if a rival community to r/piratedgames appears here on dbzer0 too, I mean r/piracy is still there, but this place is better, right ?

there really is no way to know if you’ve got a virus. it doesn’t take a lot of time to develop a malware that is undetectable, especially if you target something very specific and make it be patient about it. e.g. wait a month, snatch all the browser cookies and send them to a server hosted on azure.

or every so often snatch the clipboard

there are a lot of ways to be very silent

I highly suggest you don’t use the pc you run the pirated games on for anything critical
