Taking things somewhat at face value: Running a text-only findom service to fund your ability to crack video games for people to play for free is unironically genius. Should it ever flop, there’s still the option to pivot from pirate to ninja, as the DRM industry is still going to want to pay someone to help blackbox test their crap.
 
Apparently r/PiratedGames has/had an Empress simp janny:

In other news, Empress, in "her" infinite wisdom, has taken it upon "herself" to improve games' raytracing for the betterment of pirates everywhere:

It looks like she just increased the brightness and contrast.

Dunno how things are now, but back when I was looking for Fallout 3 mods it was like
Hyper realistic shaders mod! (increases brightness and contrast)
4k Realistic Mega Fidelity textures mod! (vanilla textures resized, with contrast and brightness cranked up)

or those cancerous "Ultra Hyper realistic Grand Theft Auto San Andreas" mods, where all they did was make everything wet and download some models from the models-resource.com.
 
Apologies if this is off-topic, but I didn't know where to ask this: does anyone know a good software solution to removing DRM from videos and content purchased through iTunes?

I keep browsing places online, and all the usual methods like DVDFab seemed to be outdated thanks to iTunes uber-gay software updates.
 
For videos, can you convert the file to .mp4 with ffmpeg?
According to this article, you can.
The command is is like in the example below
Code:
ffmpeg -i input.mp4 output.webm
I guess that if you take an input which is .m3u8 or some other format that is still recognized by ffmpeg, you can still convert it to and from .mp4

You could also go the extra step and completely import the video on a video editor such as shotcut, kdenlive or avidemux and then re-export it. It's longer than simply converting it but you're also clearing all sorts of metadata (and alternative data stream files).
There would be CapCut too, but i'd advise against it if you read their TOS

The video files are in iTunes DRM M4V format. I don't think you can convert them to mp4 via ffmpeg.
