Playing with video game economies tells me that any tax on owning money/e-money would simply lead people to deal with an alternative, unpenalized store of wealth. I don't know how plausible that move is for the real world, since w

Interesting to hear, because what you've said really reflects my short contact with Star Sonata. I found it through ads at about 2007, because at the time, my way of finding games was through ads. I played a bit, joined a team, had fun

I don't disagree with self-help being nonsense. Most that I've read is certainly written to be authoritative when they're not, drawing on a fresh selection of recent 'scientific' studies that are really cherry-picke

It sounds like games are simply being optimized for monetization, not for making you feel good. For example, someone discovered that 'stamina' (like arcade credits, but recharging over time even when you're not playing) was a

I was too extreme with the term 'get shut down', which is obviously impossible as you say. I meant 'get action taken against them' which I argue will happen far before PiHole picks up in popular use.

If you're just trying to see how much time you're spending on things, and you don't want to be locked to Google/Android, I highly recommend RescueTime. It tracks how long you are active (i.e. not idle) on apps or website
