Speciaal om te zien dat Reddit op een week tijd een grotere dumpster fire is geworden dan twitter. 😢

Twitter’s encrypted DM feature is technically flawed, opt-in, limited to 1-to-1 text-based messages, restricted to a small user base, and generally inferior in just about every way to encrypted apps like Signal and WhatsApp.

And all for just $8 a month. https://www.wired.com/story/twitter-encrypted-dm-signal-whatsapp/

The new Splendor Duel has everything going for it as a quick 2 player game. The gameplay is better than the original, as the choices each turn are more meaningful. The components are gorgeous and finally: the box fits them snuggly. #boardgame
