    Honestly I don’t think I’m technically adept enough to check this myself. I was following firefox privacy guides, and the (much more competent) people writing them were puzzled about those two.
    Of course it’s not necessarily malicious, but it has became hard to be trusting.

    In the end I kind of just gave up on privacy, I take mitigation measures as a symbolic gesture, but still assume someone’s watching over my shoulder whatever I do online. Not a good feeling to be honest.













  • Trying to find some that haven’t been talked about yet:

    Echo. It’s a fantastic experimental infiltration game with an AI that adapts to your way of playing. The setup is very impressive.

    Pathologic: one of the three playable characters (the Changeling). It’s a bizarre russian game, with an unique world, and messy gameplay. Can’t recommend it enough.

    Va11 Hall-A: chill bartending game in a cyberpunk setup.

    The Blackwell series: comfy, kind of amateurish point and clicks by Wadjet Eye. I like them very much.

    Transistor: weirdest game by Supergiant. You play as a redhead with a talking sword. I don’t remember much about it except that it was good.

    The Fall: (pushing it a little bit, since the protagonist is an AI, but I’ve always seen here as female.) Criminally underrated puzzle games, disguised as metroidvanias.

    Eliza (by Zachtronics): the only visual novel I enjoyed. It’s hard to explain, it’s about AI, burnout, whether tech dehumanizes people, and solitaire.

    Hedon Duology: for something completely different, it’s a slightly kinky retroshooter, with amazon Orcs fighting demons.
    It may sound a bit dumb, but it’s excellent. Huge levels, interesting worldbuilding, and a gameplay based on exploration, puzzles as well as shooting.

    There’s probably a ton more, but that’s all I can think about at the moment.



  • I can think of a way to help with the problem, but I don’t know how hard it would be to implement.

    Create some sort of trust score, where instance owners rate other instances they federate with.
    Then the score gets shared in the network. Like some sort of federated whitelisting.
    You would have to be prudent a first, but not do the whole task yourself.

    You could even add an “adventurousness” slider, to widen or restrict the network based on this score.
