I agree with OP, and it really became blatant when Starfield got out. Their design patterns and game engine have not evolved with the industry standards, and they don’t seem to have understood that. Fortunately, there are alternatives, like the Outer Worlds, Tainted Grail, etc. I guess the alternatives will become more and more interesting with time, as those game have showed that it was possible to do Bethesda-ish games without the shortcomings (and lies) of Bethesda.
Unfortunately I don’t know, as I’ve never used banking apps (I manage sensitive informations from my computer, which feels safer to me), but I hope somebody else will be able to answer that question!
Waking up from the Nightmare.
I’d say about every 7 years, or older. Using custom roms, it’s possible to keep a phone up-to-date for a while, or even to escape google services (on android, of course) using MicroG. Personally, I use /e/os, which has all that built in (including a tracker blocker). It is very neat.
Build the biggest soft power possible to make allies (video games, movies, medicine, etc), send spies everywhere to identify potential attacker/warmongers, assassinate them.
If nothing works, make the island a fiscal paradise. Predators don’t shit where they eat.
You’re already dealing with grief, and you’re doing it in your own way. Know that it will pass. Some people break down, some people are just more vulnerable for a time, some people don’t give a f, some others pretend they don’t give a f and break down in private, some others don’t care, etc.
All you have to do if you have an outburst is to stay conscious of your context and maybe explore the roots of your feeling. It boils down to asking yourself “why”. Being confronted to our mortality always has an impact, and may the conclusion of our experiences inspire us to enjoy life and what/who’s in it a little more. Be patient and kind to yourself and others. Talk with them if that is possible. Some good can come out of it.
“I have my bears” does not exist in the french language.

Don’t argue, she’s obviously toxic. Leave her life. The furthest away you can. People who think like that just abuse and ruin others, and if you’re at the point where you wonder whether she’s using “special techniques” or smthg, it means she got to your mental health. See a therapist to mend what was broken, and get away from this toxic woman.
They could save time and efforts and just not implement AI features
Run, kids! It’s Slender Snowman!
A PSX Memory Card, because that would be awesome.
Writer having toyed with AI, here : yeah, AI writing sucks. It is consensual and bland, never goes into unexpected territory, or completely fails to understand human nature.
So, we’d better stop calling AI “intelligence”. It’s text-prediction machine learning on steroïds, nothing more, and the fact that we’re still calling that “intelligence” says how gullible we all are.
It’s just another speculative bubble from the tech bros, as cryptos were, except this time the tech bros have made their nazi coming out.
