linux mint comes with a program coincidentally called Hexchat for connecting to IRC networks. Are these obsolete at this point, or are there still places to hang out with people so i dont have to use discord?

    I remember when I started college (mid-2000s) the university I attended did a thing where they blocked torrents by timing out the download of torrent files. I think this was pre magnet links. A friend of mine from high school had the same issue, so we both jumped on IRC as a way to get our pirate fix. It was really useful and I remember finding a ton of good music.

      IRC is still the best way to pirate ebooks IMO.
