Selling online games and then shutting down the service should forfeit the right to interfere with reverse engineering projects. Maybe even require opening up the service specs so reverse engineering wouldn't be needed.

Yes, please.

We can't stop LLM developers from scraping our conversations if they're determined to do so, but we can at least make our wishes clear. If they respect our wishes, then great. If they don't, then they'll be unable to plead ignorance, and our signpost in the road (along with those from other instances) might influence legislation as it's drafted in the coming years.

Edit2: Updated for two follow-up releases:

  • Hotfix: Apparently yesterdays build was missing the normal proton packaged Gecko and Mono (the file size was significantly smaller than usual). This build fixes that.
  • This is a minor hotfix release that just syncs proton-wine and dxvk with upstream versions from today. A user complained they were seeing some odd CPU+GPU usage in 8-7 but was fine in today's proton-experimental. After testing with this build based on today's experimental they confirmed it was working here too.

New in both GE-Proton and Wine-GE-Proton:

  • FSR IS BACK!!! Huge shoutout/thank you to Ph42oN for completely rebasing, updating and combining all of the old FSR patches to make them compatible with Proton 8.
  • Additionally a bug was fixed by Ph42oN with fullscreen not working properly when fsr is disabled which was present in proton 7
  • proton-wine updated to latest git

In GE-Proton only:

  • protonfix for Oceanhorn removed as it's no longer needed (thanks Iglu47)
  • protonfixes added for Neptunia Re;Birth 1 & 2 (thanks NishiyamaPedro)
  • dxvk updated to latest git
  • vkd3d-proton updated to latest git
  • dxvk-nvapi updated to latest git
  • upstream build changes pulled in

Yeah, it can be abused. I don't want to raise an alarm about it because I don't think it's worth scaring people who are just dipping their toes in the fediverse waters, and because it can be fixed.

For now, I block remote images by default and allow them from a few specific instances.

Sorry for replying late; I just saw this question.

It's worth noting that images that people include in their posts are hosted on their instance, not your home instance. That means the admins of those other instances can see your IP address and (normally) page you were reading when your browser loads those images.

Browser extensions exist that will let you block off-site images if you want to.
