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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
