There’s:
-
skribbl.io it’s a draw and guess game, kinda like charades.
-
Transformice was also pretty fun. They have a steam version of the game now, I don’t know if they still have a browser port though.

And microtransactions, it’s on steam now.
I think when social media became more broadly adopted or even necessary for use outside of the internet. I still remember being forced to make a Facebook account to access schoolwork and notices from my school.
A lot of people were also just not taught about safeguarding your information on the internet. So when the human need to connect got more convenient, people ended up sharing whatever they thought without thinking of the consequences.
Yup. I never used any of the apps (always opened reddit through my mobile browser) so I wasn’t affected that way. I am sympathetic to all the issues brought up, and I do really like the fediverse, but I don’t think the users are here yet.
I like going to reddit to read about opinions or someone more knowledgeable than me talk about things. I find there’s a lack of discussions in the fediverse at the moment for me, and maybe that’s due to me having to curate my experience more. I don’t know. But for now, yes, I still use it.
It’s alright. Story was okay. Combat was pretty entertaining; although I’d recommend playing on higher difficulty, the gear progression makes the game too easy. The crafting mechanic was also fun for a while.
I think the worst thing about it is map bloat, but if that’s a nonissue for you, you might enjoy it.
I think our surroundings would be much cleaner. We’d have less flyers, billboards, tarps, etc. We would live in a quieter world filled with less distraction.
As much as I hate it however, I agree that it’s a necessary evil, but maybe it could be executed more responsibly. I personally prefer “buy it for life” discussions, or product reviews by experts, or those gradings according to sustainability. So maybe in a non-capitalist society, adverts would be more informative than just, “look at this shiny thing, don’t you want it?”
I mean, AI can be used to design a lot of robust yet efficient structures. In engineering and architecture, with enough data, AI can generate designs for buildings, and parts that are not only sturdy but can be built with less resources along with other design considerations. There’s a really cool nasa video where competitors are trying to 3D print structures for habitation in space.
AI is also used in medicine to come up with new protein structures to create new medicine. It’s also used in environmental sciences, to help predict earthquakes or monitor land use, etc.
There’s a lot of practical uses for AI.
