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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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'm still learning but share your concern.

I also think there's different dimensions to the growth too. A lemmy server such as programming.dev may have many communities which become popular and it's primary task is to be the home to those communities and federate that out to the wider community.

At the same time it has to pull in any random community that even a single user on that server wants to look at and store it.

The server that is home to programming discussion could buckle under the load of too many posts to /c/funny. It doesn't seem right. They are different responsiblities.
