fitgirl games need admin rights every single time to run,yet its considered a safe source

isn’t the only thing that can ruin your digital life.

what else can?

i didnt no. but i did try to run on it arch linux before it ran fine.

fitgirl is in fmhy it should be trusted

i already do that but im asking to see if what im doing is right or not

im very sure. i used it for months before i got a new laptop

not possible a lot of apps and games require admin rights in windows

i have some fitgirl repacks that windows defender deletes so i just exclude them is that bad?

how to sandbox apps? if you mean run them in a vm that isnt practial. but if smth else tell me

cant you just bypass it with rufus? i ran windows 11 on 2gen intel with ssd before it was quiet fast even.

what if i do want windows? how to minimize malware

what abour best practies? like tell me to not infect windows when pirating bec i found linux piracy too hard

what about false positives? i make exceptions in defender for some fitgirl games or if i didnt the game doesnr start bec files are deleted

i mean fitgirl seems too good to be true,yet it is true. so what defines that in piracy?

how?

you can send messages to users on lemmy and reply back. but ig the instance owner can see them,thats why you use matrix and send your id to the user to chat with.

yes its enough,with an antivirus(windows defender is great) and common sense. sticking to fmhy(dot)net megathread,plus you dont even need a vpn if you dont live in first world.

also you need to bind your vpn to torrent client(qbittorent) . as for direct downloads they dont need vpn even in first world .

also you need adblock to not get malware,use firefox + ublock origin. or brave browser with shields on aggressive. and bec ads are just bad,note these adblockers work for everything not just piracy. they also work for youtube.

i know linux ,i used it before. but i never been able to run pirated games on it so im just checking if its hard or i didnt know how

it isnt really,its even open source you can read its code.
