MS Teams? Basically a bloated version of Skype.

CurseForge (Overwolf?) tried with Curse Voice before Discord even existed, but it never made it big. Probably because Discord started taking over when Skype fell off (i.e. Discord had good timing, Curse Voice did not).

The private servers I'm in always have a few people screen sharing whenever a voice chat is active. They're either sharing their gameplay (semi-privately, hence no Twitch) or they're co-watching movies. Oh and every so often, screen sharing is used for getting someone's opinion on image editing or a song in they're making. I've also given people remote tech support which is way easier to do when their screen is visible.

But it's worth noting that as an older Gen Z, this is just how people hang out nowadays, so we'll be watching anime together in the server until we fall asleep or whatever. That's why screen sharing isn't as useful as screenshots and video clips.

You think feds won't pay for bot accounts? Record labels already pay for botted streams, so I'm pretty sure MOSSAD would pay to bot Facebook. Hell, it already happens on X.

You're right. We get cheap knicknacks instead of cheap housing, electricity, water, food, etc.

Yet all they offer are ghost jobs at worst and hourly/gig work at best?

But isn't it more profitable to replace a high-cost job like a data analyst or logistics expert than 10-20 low-cost jobs like warehouse workers? Like the cost of the machines and the maintenance probably will end up costing more than humans.

And same counter-argument: those who are more likely to abuse tools are less likely to care about the legal status of said tool (they will illegally import or DIY the tools).

France's debt-to-GDP is lower though.

I would set up a wiki but also make regular printed backups: on-site for when the electricity is out, and off-site in case of fire.
