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 plug 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 mostly mobile playerbase. From what I can see Linux userbase hovers around 0.3% in China, and that’s Hoyo’s main market.

this is such a cute idea 🥹 now I imagine them running little Wordpress blogs
- Comment on Wikipedia Says AI Is Causing a Dangerous Decline in Human Visitors 1 week ago:
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.
- Comment on Wikipedia Says AI Is Causing a Dangerous Decline in Human Visitors 1 week ago:
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.
- Comment on Wikipedia Says AI Is Causing a Dangerous Decline in Human Visitors 1 week ago:
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.
- Comment on Wikipedia Says AI Is Causing a Dangerous Decline in Human Visitors 1 week ago:
“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.

Reminds me of that Kurzgesagt video about Optimistic Nihilism:
“Close your eyes. Count to 1. That’s how long forever feels.”
- Comment on one bright second 1 week ago:
Nope, I think humanity will be long gone by then, so it doesn’t really matters what happens after that.

Got the same in the UK, had to disable uBlock for Cloudflare to let me through.
- Comment on wax on 2 weeks ago:
Yea, I’m vegan, so I’m mindful of milk and honey (and yes, they’re disgusting), just never really thought about what process wax exactly came from.
- Comment on wax on 2 weeks ago:
I never thought about it, but beeswax is kinda disgusting, basically ass-grease :P
- Comment on In Praise of RSS and Controlled Feeds of Information 3 weeks ago:
Paying for Newsblur’s hosted version - I need its keyword filtering feature and I like to support small companies :)
- Comment on In Praise of RSS and Controlled Feeds of Information 3 weeks ago:
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.
- Comment on In Praise of RSS and Controlled Feeds of Information 3 weeks ago:
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.
- Comment on Petition: Do not introduce Digital ID cards 4 weeks ago:
I had to as well, until my mid 30-s 😬 (Hasn’t happened in a few years though.)
Still remember when they asked for ID to buy one of those Y-shaped potato peelers 😂 How tf I could hurt someone with that, peel them??
- Comment on Who the fuck needs an x axis anyway 5 weeks ago:
The axis makes sense with the label, they just didn’t label every data point.
- Comment on Microsoft announces it will automatically install the Copilot AI app alongside desktop versions of 365 products like Word, Excel and PowerPoint this October 5 weeks ago:
Obsidian is sadly not FOSS, but aside of that, it’s amazing (and entirely user-supported, not relying on VC profit-seeking).
- Comment on Microsoft still can't convince folks to upgrade to Windows 11 1 month ago:
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
- Comment on Microsoft still can't convince folks to upgrade to Windows 11 1 month ago:
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 😢
- Comment on Microsoft still can't convince folks to upgrade to Windows 11 1 month ago:
Idk my Win98 crashed almost every day. It only stopped when I switched to WinXP.
- Comment on AI adoption rate is declining among large companies — US Census Bureau claims fewer businesses are using AI tools 1 month ago:
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.
- Comment on AI adoption rate is declining among large companies — US Census Bureau claims fewer businesses are using AI tools 1 month ago:
Fucking finally. Maybe the hype wave has crested 🤞

I hope it works out for them!
- Comment on Jimmy Wales Says Wikipedia Could Use AI. Editors Call It the 'Antithesis of Wikipedia' 2 months ago:
The editor community rejected the idea so overwhelmingly, that Wikipedia paused the planned experiment in June, hopefully for good.

Same in Hungarian, machine translation still often gives hilariously bad results. It’s especially prone to mixing up formal and informal ‘you’ within the same paragraph, something which humans never do. At least it’s easy to tell when a website is one of those ‘auto-translated to 30 languages’ content mill.
