    I used to use proton mail for a small personal domain.

    I ended up switching because it seemed like they were more focused on creating new apps (calendar, drive, etc) than improving what they already had. A lot of the stuff seemed unpolished and buggy, including parts of the email client.

    I think they ended up bundling in those other services and raising prices, even though I only wanted email.

    When I tried to leave I couldn’t export the emails for my custom domain. They had a stand-alone tool that claimed it could export, but I tried multiple times and it always eroded out part way through.

    Any emails that failed to export are now gone. They can’t be viewed from protons free tier. It’s been a few years so I’m not even sure if they are still there.

    I switched to Tutanota and then Fastmail. I have been happy with Fastmail for the last few years.

    Dakkadakka looks good! I’ve seen the Auspex Tactics channel but I feel a little overwhelmed watching, at least for where I’m at with the game.

    Thanks, but I’ve been finding it pretty hard to use Reddit since main the 3rd part apps shut down. I’ll check out the discord though!

    I’m slowly getting into warhammer 40k but feel pretty disconnected from the broader 40K universe.

    Are there any active communities where people discuss 40K? Discussion about new models, balancing, rule changes, painting show cases, etc.

    Right now I’m just painting alone listening to PoorHammer on YouTube 😅.

    I didn't even realize there was a tutorial! I just dove right in and took a few hours to figure things out =,)

    Do you have to purchase anything in addition to table top simulator? Is the 40k stuff just a free community made addition? I might be interested in trying it out before my first set of minis arrives 😁

    After trying out a few different games for a few days, I think Cell to Singularity has been my favorite.

    I'll be brand new to 40k when my Leviathan box ships. Any tips on learning how to play, other than reading the rule book?

    there could be multiple ways to save it beyond "make some account and hope you never lose access to that account"

    A blockchain, in the context of NFTs and ownership, is essentially just a shared notepad that anyone can add a note to, but everyone has a unique colored permanent marker.

    Someone like OpenSea, tracks ownership of NFTs by writing “NFT1 is owned by Bob” in blue. For that to be meaningful, people have to agree that OpenSea should be the source of truth for ownership of NFT1.

    Joe can open a competing marketplace add a note saying “NFT1 is owned by Joe” or “Bob gave NFT1 to Joe” in red. Who decides which is right? Who decided who had the right to claim original ownership of an NFT?

    There has to be some central authority deciding what the “truth” is, even on blockchains. Blockchains just store data. It’s up to people to decide what that data means, which usually boils back down to making an account with some service (ie opensea) who decide what the “correct” way to interpret the data is.

    Wouldn’t putting the entirety of the code on a blockchain make the code public, allowing anyone to get the game for free?

    Seems like a complicated way of making the game open source and then asking that people pay before downloading it.

    How would NFTs allow for direct digital ownership or a layer of security? Don't NFTs have to be tied to a particular "authority" to decide what the official state of ownership is?

    How would NFTs allow for direct digital ownership or a layer of security?

    Some sort of direct ownership of digital games that isn't linked to a single company would definitely add a layer of security and reassurance for buying digital games.

    I noticed that the the latest game + all DLC is ~$200. That is quite a bit, lol.
