I did the same, and also normally never preorder digital goods. Preordered the ultimate edition in December 2022, and really did not care whether they could deliver at all.

Now, as a fan of the old games, I am pretty stoked that it looks like I really will be getting an awesome game.

"This year, Russia also took control of Chornobyl,..."

This year again? I thought they dug their trenches in radioactive soil in the first year of the invasion.

I never supported the discrimination against Pluto and all the mobbing calling it names like "dwarf" and saying that he is too small. It's just disgusting how mean people can be sometimes. Want a ninth planet? I'm in team Pluto!

Exactly, as you already explained in detail this is primarily for security.

GrapheneOS has a feature to set a time after which the phone reboots in case there was no unlock. So in case a bad actor gets your phone they only have that time with a running system after the first unlock. However, if you use it normally, and unlock it in regular intervals it does not auto-reboot. This is especially neat if your threat level is not "investigative journalist" or "political activist on the run", because then you can set the time to a longer interval and the phone does not reboot every night when you are asleep which also leads to the SIM card being locked and nobody being able to call you...

Democracy already died. In broad daylight.
