Same, it’s been one of the only easily accessible tools to combat the 24hr news cycle for me. There’s so many ongoing major events that have gotten difficult to find up-to-date reporting on thru search engines (probably because of SEO)
The first use-case that came to mind for me is research. A distraction-free dedicated application for wikipedia could be a great way to keep organized, especially if new features are added and expanded upon over time that go beyond the typical browser experience.
It’s not a workflow for everyone and if wikipedia is something that’s usually just accessed through other search engines then this probably won’t be all that useful to you.
No clue, but you only gotta run it once so if you’re concerned you could run it get the .auz and then go back to a previous restore point, could also throw it in virustotal and check the behavior tab to check that ur copy isn’t dropping weird files in places it shouldnt or anything like that before running on your system
Think most the time people replace the patch exe or the installer with malicious version since that’s low hanging fruit, wouldn’t be too worried over the keygen tbh
Pretty much just gotta have a friend with a good ratio that has spare invites
Theres plenty groups of similar size and good rep in the audio scene too, r2r is the group thats supplying keygens and patches for newer ableton versions, thing is public trackers sometimes have modified version, once it leaves the scene who knows what gets bundled with it
Should add, rutracker is public but you need an account, that’s your best bet if you want it quick and don’t wanna have to ask around for an invite
Rutracker should have clean copies, audionews definitely does. Thing to look for is a signed installer a patched exe and a r2r keygen, if theres anything else in there or the ableton installer comes up as unsigned then its probably unsafe. Most of the time the keygen will come up as a PUP just like any other crack.
Could also try bobdules crack which is a direct download on his site and checks all those boxes (its just a keygen, patcher and link to the official ableton download page), haven’t tested it myself but it seems like his releases are pretty trusted.
Really don’t think it was made to be useful or practical in any way, just seems like some dude making shit that looks cool for funsies and trying to fund it, plus i mean its culturally relevant and stuff like that is in tons of media
