Why do you assume the customer base is conservative? Most farmers I know are quite liberal.
The Minnesota Democrats are even named the Minnesota Democratic–Farmer–Labor (DFL)

Execs are not the single key point of success?
That sounds like blasphemy!

This afternoon I got to play with a friend. Shaman/Dire Lord seems like a pretty good duo set up. Got to level 6 before we had to break for the evening.

On the Sacred Six server 12 slot boxes sell pretty fast. 10 slot backpacks are not as fast. Current price: 5s each.
Already made by the money I sunk into learning the skills, I think. It's all gravy from here!

There is a lot of bad info out there. That's going to happen with 10 years of dev time behind the game.
One example, you can have 2 tradeskills. Some places say that one of them has to be a consumable skill (cooking/alchemy) but that is not the case currently. My summoner is a tailor and carpenter.

Isn't that what the computers at the library are for?

EFF shares a link to a story that requires PII submission to read. That makes sense.

No, I was in a small town in the midwest. But I did have the same pager that they had in the movie, and my email subject lines would forward to me...
Ahh, the joys of working at a dial up internet company while in school and not having real bills.

I used to record videos of my friends rollerblading on my first gen black and white Logitech Quickcam connected to a 486 laptop in a duffle bag.

It's easier to raise money as a scrappy resistance fighter than an established and entrenched ruler.

I would be okay with skipping some of them if they are honestly doing good for people. For example, MacKenzie Scott would deserve a pass in my opinion.

At my studio it's often never even added in the first place. By the time we get to polish we don't have time for proper perf passes because there are other game breaking things that are "more critical".
But that's live service games for you.

Look for patterns in your use and locations. And then try to break those patterns. Be random. Roll dice and flip coins to decide where to use it, your brain isn't good at true random.

Do you always put the normal phone in a faraday bag when you get the other one out? that's easy to correlate. Ideally you would have a partner that can walk/drive around with your phone somewhere else so you don't have the same location recorded.

Never use the same account log-ins on both devices
Be mindful of all your apps. Does your keyboard learn and predict words for you? Where is that stored?
Be mindful where your normal phone is while using the secure one.

What level of paranoia are we talking about here?
By a new device with cash, ideally with a covid mask on.
Install @grapheneos.org on that device
Never use the device on private wifi. Especially your home network.
Always store the device in a faraday bag when not in use

I think this is an astute point. I was thinking about it more after I posted and I honestly don't even know how many people work on my current game. Compared to smaller teams I have been on in the past things are a lot more chaotic now.

I would rather be able to block without having to go to the account profile.

They have to be on the jury first. The problem here is that they are showing their hand before being impaneled on the jury.
