"Anti-piracy technologies is to the benefit of the game publishers, [but also] is of benefit to the players in that it protects the [publisher's] investment and it means the publishers can then invest in the next game"

The only entity benefiting in this scenario is Denuvo, while the client clutches their pearls to protect a misguided concept of the elusive lost sale. Denuvo rakes in cash in the name of copy protection, but the truth is most acts of piracy are driven by a lack of means to obtain the product or a desire to demo the product.

Sure it's their right to protect it but I don't think there's any accurate way to actually measure the impact of games with and without such aggressive copy protection.

Google is testing this with some owners of the Pixel 6 and newer devices in the US. Tensor is clearly required and this suggests on-device AI is being leveraged. The goal is to “enhance our Call Screen capabilities and reduce robocalls, giving you time back and peace of mind.”

What devices can receive the beta?

Devices that may receive this beta will be the Pixel 6 and above, within the United States.

How can I check my Call Screen Settings to enable/disable the feature?

You can check out this helpful article for steps on checking your Call Screen settings.

When will this become available for everyone?

We’re looking forward to sharing more when the feature launches.

Only reason I installed it is for it's ability to use GitHub releases as a source and notify me if there are updates. As far as I'm aware you have to use f-droid repositories with f-droid -- but it's been a long time since I had f-droid installed.

This really only affects legitimate users.

Legitimate users are usually the ones who suffer most for DRM

Unregistered torrents (from upgrades to season packs or nuked releases) and the occasional upgrade paths that don't always work.

My own upgrade paths tend to pull in some versions which get made redundant so every so often, just ensuring there's no multiple copies as a result of said upgrades

Yeah, take a look at my profile from the perspective of lemmy.world:

https://lemmy.world/u/liara

Then compare with the comment count compared to other instances:

https://lemmy.ca/u/[email protected]

https://lemm.ee/u/[email protected]

9 of my comments haven't federated and are visible only to lemmy.world

https://lemmy.ml/u/[email protected]

22 comments made it to .ml but that's still missing 6 comments

You could sponsor him on patreon instead, it might even come with a few non-reddit perks: https://www.patreon.com/syncforreddit

Not sure about seeing queue stats directly but the logs should be pretty noisy if there aren't enough federation workers to process the queue efficiently.

There was info from the devs here: https://lemmy.ml/post/1216911

E: I see you already commented there, so you already know. It seems the value was raised to 160k by the lemmy.ml instance though

This makes sense. A comment I made 2 hours ago on another instance still hasn't propagated. Outgoing user activity is probably reaching insane levels right now

Same. I just deleted all my content, but not the account itself since they appear to be rolling back comment deletions. I'll delete my content as many times as I need to before I delete my account fully.
