The art style reminds me of Scavengers Reign.

I wonder how this trend will affect fuel use. Seems like a win for the environment.

he’s gone off the rails in the last 6-12 months - complaining about needing more linux devs

It's also ironic in light of his history of loudly bashing linux and linux game development.

I can't think of anything good to say about Tim Sweeney.

I might give Backpack Battles a try. It doesn't look like my usual style, but I heard there's some good strategy under the surface, and I like that it's made with Godot.

Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution

Section 3: Disqualification from office for insurrection or rebellion

Section 3. No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may, by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.

Are there any 5.5 physical sourcebooks? Were they ever planned at all?

I haven't been following One D&D news, but I got the impression they were focusing on a subscription-only model, so I've been planning to stick with my 5e books or switch to an ORC-licensed system.

This is misleading. Matrix respects the e2ee setting that you choose when creating a room, and it's enabled by default.

Whether to use encryption is a per-room setting, not per-server. It's controlled by the person who creates the room, not the server admin. It's on by default, and cannot be switched off later.

Rooms can be created without it because that makes sense for large public rooms, like those migrating from IRC, where privacy would defeat the purpose.

Keybase was popular with some Hacker News users for a while, but now that it's owned by Zoom, anyone concerned about privacy ought to think twice before using it.

XMPP might be worth considering if you're hosting for yourself and all your contacts. I suggest avoiding it for public use, mainly because features are piecemeal and coordinating them across everyone's clients and servers is a bit complicated. (Also, I don't know if there's a good XEP for encrypted search.)

Back when encrypted search was being developed for the Electron app, I think someone had it working in a standalone browser as well. Perhaps that was with the help of a browser add-on; I don't remember for sure. I suspect github.com/t3chguy would know, as he seems to be active in discussions of that feature. It might be worth asking him about it.

Does it have feature parity with Element yet?

Not yet. It's in beta.

EDIT: Nheko is NOT a mobile client.

If you specifically meant mobile, you could have said so. Your statement was, "every other client has even more drawbacks when it comes to E2EE." Nheko disproves that statement. It also suggests that some alternative mobile clients might handle E2EE at least as well as it does. You might want to try them.

By the way, text search with end-to-end encryption happens to be tricky to implement, and Matrix projects aren't funded by corporations with deep pockets. Tempering your expectations regarding development speed is probably worthwhile here.
