A popular DRM-free game store GOG with a new informative website: FCK DRM.

Raising the awareness of this defective by design technology. Its aim is supposed to fight piracy, on which it doesn't work at all.

Did you know that there's a killswitch in your games, books, music, movies, apps?

It's called DRM, and it can block your access to things you bought. You can still take control by choosing DRM-free sources.

What's the difference between UDP and TCP?

TCP will never give you up, let you down, run around, desert you.

Please use a CW for your political stuff and heavy things over here. Means I'm able to read it on my own terms and Mastodon doesn't become a hellscape for me like Twitter does.

Thanks!

Mastodon isn't Twitter. It doesn't behave like Twitter. You will be disappointed if you have actually entirely lost the ability to communicate without being triggered by the outrage algorithm. Don't bring that culture here, it's why we left earlier.

The timeline is linear. Follow people you ordinarily wouldn't. Utilise the followers only message feature when you want to avoid a potential pile on. Report UX issues in a polite way and they'll probably be fixed, because this isn't Twitter.
