I agree. I have no idea why refuse isn’t dealt with nationally. Collections handled by local council but processing and policy dealt with nationally.

Then everything wouldn’t need to be labelled with probably recyclable.

PC Gaming Wiki have a page that’s auto generated that tracks games using, and formally using Denuvo.

CastSponsorSkip - SponsorBlock for Google Cast devices. Runs on your local network and skips sponsored sections using the SponsorBlock api.

Use the ships log computer to give you an objective. It should have some areas filled in now from your exploring. Find something to do from there.

Once you start blasting off with an objective it becomes so much more fun.

You haven’t been playing wrong, but the transition from aimlessly exploring to “going out on a mission” is something that loses people.

For gog games you can check the digital signature on the installer to make sure it’s legit. It should be signed by GOG.

What exactly would you gain privacy wise from a 3rd party client? All communication goes through their servers anyway. I believe even voice calls go through their server and aren’t p2p.

Not really as hiding dns alone doesn’t give you a big increase in privacy. Your isp can see what sites you visit immediately after anyway.

It could be argued that sending all your dns requests to a 3rd party by default is actually a decrease in privacy.

That’s basically it. They keep control. They can charge subscriptions. They own it. Not you.

There’s plenty listed on vndb.org with the vampire tag. There’s some child tags too if you are after something more specific.

Yep you are correct. The new terms require you to earn no income to use the api for free. It’s probably not some sort of deal then.

Wonder why the devs waited until the last minute to announce it. Makes sense for devs to try and ring some final value from their app.

That’s because it’s not public. We are just guessing.

Both devs haven’t said why they are immediately removing ads from their apps.

It’s just a guess that it’s a condition of reddit giving them free api access for a few months.

This is the answer. From the devs point of view it’s getting the most value out of the product they have spent years making.

For Reddit it’s a good PR move.

I don’t think they will be paying anything until they implement subscriptions. They are exempt for now in exchange for removing advertising from their apps.

Once they implement subscriptions then they get income to cover the cost of the api.

To me, Reddit’s policy seems to be driven as much by spite as anything else.

Yep I agree. No reason to force them to remove their own advertising.

My guess since both apps doing this model have immediately removed their own advertising is that they are exempt from the api pricing for a few months.

I can’t see either dev cutting off their revenue stream (app ads) and then eating the api cost on the same day. Especially if users swarm to them as they are the last standing 3rd party app on their platform. Individuals wouldn’t take on that kind of liability.

This seems quite clever by Reddit. It looks like there’s some deal that if they remove ads from their apps they get free api usage for a few months. Seems suspicous that both apps doing this have removed ads.

This will soften the blow a little for Reddit as now at least 1 decent sized 3rd party app on each platform (Android/IOS) will continue to work for a while.

A clever PR move that changes nothing.

Please don’t feed them data about fediverse instances by querying new domain names.

I don’t believe searching for domains will feed them data as such. You can crawl the lemmyverse starting from a few known servers. It’s how awesome-lemmy-instances works.

what is exactly the purpose of knowing who is blocked by whom?

Before joining an instance it seemed useful to get an idea of their moderation policy. It just gives transparency as to that instance’s policies, as well insight into how the rest of the fediverse views that instance.

I wasn’t aware it was created by known bad actors and it wasn’t my intention to promote them. It was just a useful tool.

Ahh I see. That site does list both blocked by and blocked, but not simultaneously.

I’ve been using https://fba.ryona.agency which does the same.
