Pinning this so hopefully more people see it:

It's mostly a call-to-action that if you can style your feed, you definitely should so that those unfamiliar with it can be assimilated.

With the recent news of ProtonMail, I would like to remind you that ProtonMail has been a honeypot for a while. Just look at their transparency report on their website. They also don't allow you to generate private GPG/PGP keys client-side (the only person who should have access to your private GPG key is you).

Anyway here are some alternatives I recommend (not sponsored by any of them):

* Fedora Mail (fedora.email/) (Registrations are currently disabled) - An email service run by @j who also runs bae.st. It's funded by donations, supports mail clients, and even the ability to encrypt clear-text emails in your inbox using your public GPG key.
* Disroot (disroot.org/en) - Run by @muppeth, along with other volunteers. Provides a bunch of services including email. Supports custom domains if you donate. Free to use for non-commercial purposes.
* Posteo (posteo.de/en) - Paid service (1 EUR/month). Hosted in Germany. Accepts payments in cash via mail. Offers the ability to encrypt your inbox, contacts, and spam folder using your password.
* Self-hosted - Do your own research. Only recommended for those with the technical knowledge.

Granted, you should never trust any provider because you never know what they are doing unless you have physical access to their servers, but these services seem to be a lot more trustworthy than ProtonMail, Tutanota, and other honeypots.

There are people there who do that and drink cow piss. It's an embarrassment, and not respected at all by people who have left. I think the number of people/villages who participate is exaggerated a bit. I never saw it (or the "shitting streets"), but I did see the poor shanty towns and open sewers and people bathing in the polluted Ganges outside of Red Fort (which is insanely beautiful piece of architecture from another era).

Hmm... I wonder...
I might be able to take advantage of the YT algo to get my game out there.
Thumbnail could be that painting of the main antagonist. It's mysterious, cloaked, dark, and he has a wicked almost cheshire-like grin.
Then the title could be something along the lines of "I spent 9 years making this game..." or "This game took nearly a decade to make..."
I'd set up a script to talk about the game and its development in a sort of dramatic but historical way, make the video at least 10 minutes. Basically like a little documentary about how the game came to be.
I see a lot of videos like this from random channels being recommended to me all the time. Their other videos will have a much lower view count comparatively.
Think it could be a viable strategy.

Climate alarmism is absolutely insane. The idea that human CO2 production can affect the cycles of heating and cooling that have been present on this planet for billions of years is the real hubris. Most people don't even realize the total percentage of CO2 in earth's atmosphere is 0.03%. The climate alarmist will claim it's gone up from 0.01% in pre-industrial times, a _fact_ that's completely unmeasurable unless you believe in the magic of "ice core samples" 🙄
