>>17866 Ahoy me mateys, where is the best place a lad can plunder Visual Studio? Be there a way to break it to use Visual Studio without a microsoft account, me mateys?

>>17896 >VS If you need it for school or work they will get a license for you. If you want it for personal use ... you're better off learning an open source editor/IDE that will always be available instead of voluntarily chaining yourself to the botnet.

>>17900 I just want to develop C++ code for Windows, and develop Python code on Windows

I used to be into privacy, I had an XP VM with Autocad, Maya, CS 3. Burned all of it ultimately, and got into open source stuff, and it has vastly improved my life.

>>17924 I tried going all FOSS. I must say, I do prefer it. The only (main) reason I even see to use Windows is for games. Windows is insecure and it's spyware. Although, there is a lainthread on this board about how Linux can be even easier to hack than Windows. I digress. >What are the uses of an XP VM? Perhaps AutoCAD and Solidworks and all that other stuff is cool. For me, I am forced to use non-FOSS when I want to connect my computer to a car. The software for interaction with on-board vehicle systems requires XP if the vehicle is old like mine. It no longer works with modern versions of windows, either. AND the software has to be pirated. However, it saved me the need to buy a $5,000 scanner tool. All I need is a USB->OBD2 cable

>>17924 What FOSS software did you replace Autocad and Maya with? Show a screenshot of items you've designed to make sure you're not LARPing here.

>>17903 you don't even NEED visual studio for that. just use an open-source IDE as anon said.

>>17947 >>17965 Thank you. I regret making this thread though. This has little to do with piracy, and it feels like this thread really doesn't belong on this board. Piracy is certainly a useful tool for a security professional, but perhaps it's too broad to discuss here
