this extension seemingly only lists third party DRM.

That could be the case! Unfortunately I can’t see any documentation about it on their website or github repo.

I’m playing with mouse and keyboard, so not sure that’s possible with the Android version.

I saw a Linux Genshin launcher on github a while ago, but iirc it carries some ban risk that I don’t want to expose my account to.

I don’t know of a bulk tool, but the Augmented Steam browser extension shows a DRM warning above the purchase button when you go on a game’s Steam store page.

And many games haven’t been assessed either. I plugged my Steam account into ProtonDB, and apparently 51% of my games can be made to run perfectly on Linux, 10% are various levels of broken, but the remaining 39% has no information. I guess it’s because I have many indie games in my library.

The only thing I want to say is that the “10%” that don’t work are usually pretty popular.

Yeah, like I’m glad Linux support is increasing among games, but my main daily driver game (Genshin) still doesn’t support it 🤷 And I don’t think Hoyoverse will be spending work on Linux support when they are raking in so much cash from their millions of players. From what I can see Linux usage hovers around 0.3% in China, and that’s Hoyo’s main market.

Agreed, despite its faults, Wikipedia/Wikimedia is one of the most ethical organisations I know of, to a large degree because of how much average users can take part in its various decision-making processes. Most of its bureaucratic processes happen in the open - I sometimes enjoy reading through 15-years-old discussions about why/if a certain page should be deleted or a certain user banned.

That’s a good point, scary to think that there are people growing up now for whom LLMs are the default way of accessing knowledge.

They have no desire or intention to use AI in a way that directly effects the information on the site, how it’s presented to visitors or to use it in a way that would manipulate how articles are edited.

To be fair in June they tried to introduce AI-generated “simple summaries” to articles, but the editor community was so vehemently against it, that in the end they shelved the idea.

“With fewer visits to Wikipedia, fewer volunteers may grow and enrich the content, and fewer individual donors may support this work.”

I understand the donors aspect, but I don’t think anyone who is satisfied with AI slop would bother to improve wiki articles anyway.

Paying for Newsblur’s hosted version - I need its keyword filtering feature and I like to support small companies :)

I follow some of theguardian.com’s topical feeds - each tag and author has their own feed. It’s a UK-based site, but it has international editions and mostly does good quality centre-left journalism.

After more than a decade of Feedly, I’ve been using Newsblur for the last couple years. I love its filtering feature where I can set some tags or title keywords and just hide all matching posts from that feed - it’s the only thing that made some feeds usable.

Obsidian is sadly not FOSS, but aside of that, it’s amazing (and entirely user-supported, not relying on VC profit-seeking).

only want to spend like £200 on a business laptop they have to work on, because, well it is only work innit

Sorry I’m confused, what UK workplace requires people to use a laptop but expects them to buy it with their own cash? O.o

Thank you, I was already familiar with massgrave.dev, but didn’t realise they offered this patch! Very handy!

Aero was the prettiest UI, I held onto Win7 because of it until EOL 😢

Idk my Win98 crashed almost every day. It only stopped when I switched to WinXP.

I don’t think that’s the case, anyone can still make art. Though it’s true, it’s even harder to make a living from art now than it already was.

Fucking finally. Maybe the hype wave has crested 🤞

I hope it works out for them!
