Good point about the indie studios. I mostly play indie games, there's rarely any AAA game that is worth the price.

Seems like the way to go, support services that stream independent media and stop supporting the enshittified ones.

I knew a guy from the US that was also interviewed by some 3 letter agency because his girlfriend was Russian. This was like 20 years ago.

Exactly. Phones have dedicated hardware that stores the trigger word and wakes up the OS when it detects it.

Remembrance of Earth's Past (aka The three-body problem) series by Liu Cixin is great and I think it fits the bill perfectly.

Exactly

Also, the key word in these type of studies is "linked", which means that's only a correlation, with no proof of causality.

The way it's written, it makes you think that the screen time causes anxiety and depression, but there are other studies that suggest the causality goes in the other direction, kids that suffer from depression tend to spend more time in social media.

Public transit in NY moves literally millions of people per day, so the chances are still pretty low.

Same here. Now my router/AP does it automatically.

Replicators! Yes!!

Some restaurants probably will still exist as a premium option. And chefs can create recipes and sell them online.

They'll probably add DRM to it. Crap! 😬

One of the best games ever! Doing a vanilla Royalty run now, and looking forward to try Biotech later.

I code in C/C++. Work laptop is windows, but the products run on various Linux and Unix flavors, as well as in Windows. So I use Clion on win, that syncs the code changes to a Linux VM for building and testing. The toolchain is in a docker image, so I can change the build and test environments without affecting each other. Since I need to test on different OSs, I have multiple VMs in a server at the office.
