I think the level of fear that this has generated is not proportional to the actual threat. It just seems everyone is grossly overreacting. I shudder to think of the mass hysteria that would occur if a virus that was actually a real global, high-lethality viral threat were to come along.

Cue the inevitable "Prez wants old people to die!" comments.

Great work Frans, good update. A couple items maybe for the future.

Thanks.

"Yes, but hide tier" does not seem to work under Site Settings. EDIT:
It works but.. show tier will display as silver, hide tier changes it to bronze.

Hide tier use the generic Patreon color (with a red hue, #E85B46), bronze has a brown hue (#A46628). Silver is #C0C0C0 and gold #D4AF37. Now you should feel enlightened.

Would it be possible to add the "support the site" banner to "keep ads" no display setting? (i.e. hide it)

The Keep Ads setting is related to the future ad-free layout and has not yet been implemented. Once that's done, the entire third column with ads (in desktop layout) will be removed for Supporters, unless Keep Ads is set to yes. Does that answer your question?

Is it also possible to add the thread view setting to one's account? (The threaded, flat newest first, flat oldest first option)

Yes, technically that's possible.
Oh? What...? You want me to... implement it? That's... shocking.

Interesting move by Firefox. It's a bit of a "privacy with asterisk" however since you're replacing ISP collection with Cloudflare collections. OpenNIC would ultimately be a more secure DNS source I think, if you have access to a reliable and quick resolver.

The issue is that OpenNIC doesn't support DoH. Only CloudFlare and Google do at this time.

But isn't Cloudflare a US corp? As a US corp, it's under five eyes and the anti-constitutional laws inherent to that status. If they get asked info, they're forced by those "illegal laws" to hand over the info.

I'd trust them more if they weren't forced to do so. If they were based outside that system. It's still not optimal.

So is Google...so are many of OpenNIC's "volunteer" servers. Best bet is to combine it with a no-log VPN if you're worried someone is going to subpoena your DNS queries.

Go Larian, go, you can do it the justice it deserves !!

Couldn't think of a better studio for this, apart from CD Projekt RED.

Not the first time, and certainly not the last. AMD just can't get it right with their video cards.

AMD does just fine. ASUS, on the other hand, tends to have issues. I 've had motherboards and video cards of theirs both go belly up inside six months. No OC, no extreme temps, no extreme use, just plain died. They are one of the hardest manufacturers to deal with in these cases, in my experience, and one of the slowest to turn a warranty replacement around.

Ah yes, Microsoft and QA, forever apart it seems.
