Qwant and Ecosia debut Staan, a European search index that aims to take on Big Tech

  • I just tried quant, ecosia and lilo.
    For something intended to enhance privacy, I think it's problematic that 2 of those three immediately wants to set cookies. It kind of makes me suspicious that the third one did it surreptitiously, honestly.
    All of them present pop-ups about 'making the shift'.
    I mean.
    Like the top-down push at getting everyone to use AI, every time something tries to force a thing to happen - doesn't that indicate it is not the best option for me? If it was, I would likely figure that out on my own?

    I keep wanting to do this thing

    SoloRPGs: Modeling/Simulating Relationships - other factors to consider?

    Jump

  • Soo.. something less like a game stat, more like an actual relationship?

    Trust: Most people will let you gain trust over a while, and if you do something seriously wrong you'll lose it again around 5 times as fast.

    Need: Anyway the more pressing a person's Need is, the more they tend to let down their guard if it's fulfilled. But on the other hand they might not even reveal a need unless a certain level of trust has been reached already. That is pretty questy but maybe something like love languages (Words/compliments, Gifts/bribes, Help/quests, Touch/love scenarios, and.. something something) could be used to diversify it a bit?

    Ethics: What if quests done and actions taken resulted (multi-axial) alignments, and those affected the questions npcs would ask (pointedly ask?) and how much they trusted you from the beginning and/or if they decided to later in a developed relationship decided to have a Conversation?

    Trade vs Gifts I think strangers will trade, but that in relationships the exchanges are prolonged over time. How much time it's okay to prolong things depend on the level of Trust. So what if Gifts can be exchanged over time and if players give npcs something they'd just go 'thanks?' and it's only much later that players will discover if it resulted in anything positive, like the right sort of gossip about hidden quest Z or something?
