Do you utilize a dedicated AV like Bitdefender when sailing? Or do you still trust Windows Defender to take care of the higher risk while doing this? - eviltoast

What the title says, and that’s pretty much it. Do you or don’t you?

    I just see pirating software as supporting a company I hate instead of supporting an open source project I like

    Yes!

    Adobe owes a huge part of their success to piracy. It made it impossible for smaller companies to get a foothold back in the 90s because everyone just pirated Photoshop. It never would have become so entrenched (or grown so exploitative in licensing) if people had instead used cheaper/free alternatives.
