GW1 was my childhood. The MMO with no monthly fees appealed to my Mom and I met friends for years. The 8 skill build system was genius, as was the cut scenes featuring your player character. If there's ever a 3rd game I would love to see something allowing for more expression through build creation though I could see how that's hard to balance.

> nobody should believe for a second that WhatsApp or FB messages are truly E2EE.

Meta still tracks analytics which isn't good for privacy, but I'm not aware of any news of them or 3rd parties reading messages without consent of one of the 1st parties? Signal is probably much better though

This is really an example of "formal rights and material conditions."

You make a case that EU has better social safety nets and employee protection not that the US has weaker free speech laws. While you can't ignore the effect having wealth can insulate you from consequences, it still doesn't support your statement as written.

Is it true that someone who is retired on a pension in US can say more hateful things without government action vs a similar retiree in EU?

Is that not crypto?

Stoat isn't working well for me. It's taken over 24 hours to try to register a new account. First I couldn't register after doing several captchas. Then I had to wait for a verification email which took over 12 hours. I signed in to one client, but attempting to reset a password results in the same waiting game and error when selecting a new password.

I wish for the best, but they're probably putting out fires from the increased load
