people will hate about this, but as long as you didn't installed malware, and you blocked pirated software with firewalls (simplewall:https://github.com/henrypp/simplewall), you can have "privacy" because it never connects to internet and you don't give anyone information. so shoot for it if you want.
Far be it from me to criticize people pirating this software but after some period of adjustment I'm very happy with the open source alternatives to most of these.
Nowadays I’ve transitioned from all adobe software, but I’d be lying if I say I don’t miss them. Photoshop in particular is so good to use.
That's fair, in all honesty it's a great tool. But in the end it's not worth it.
Yeah tbh I don't actually use adobe products at all. I only want windows and games so that's why I asked this question in the first place, piracy also included of course.
To clarify, I use FMHY as my piracy wiki. Also, does disabling my internet also prevent connection of pirated software or no?
