Not sure if any exist. Recharging by pedal would require adding resistance to the pedaling. The added resistance is fine in a car because they're so heavy and fast that it's barely noticeable downhill. But it'd be very noticeable to someone on a bike.

Yea, I think there's some truth in that argument when it comes to temperature - I know I can adjust to pretty hot or cold weather after a while. But yea, no matter how much I love biking I am less likely to do it in the rain or snow, where it's not only more uncomfortable but also more dangerous.

Ah yea, could use some updating for sure. Good catch

Which ones? I haven't looked at all of them but a lot of them have a "Further Reading" section below, which is the citations.

I dig this one, it's pretty cool.

Interesting question honestly. Sims 4 (rated T) certainly allows you to kill off Sims, but you're an omnipotent being, it doesn't have Sim-on-Sim murder. I think this is true for a lot of simulation games where the player isn't a character in the world. Cult of the Lamb is obviously inspired by those games, but also makes the leap to you being represented by a character.

I have one and do so. It's pretty great. I will admit I still have some google services on it, but I'm working on not needing those.

When you say "safer" can you elaborate on in what sense you mean?

Would you be more likely to use Signal if the username tests become mainstream? Then you wouldn't need to share your phone # with everyone.

But that's exactly the problem. If the company is kind about it, or forced to play nice by effective regulation, there's no issue. But if there's no regulation and the company wants to, it tends towards monopolistic tendencies. And there's nothing that incentivizes a company to play nice forever, in fact they're incentivized to maximize profit. So Vertical Integration is bad without being checked.

I always enjoyed these tiktoks, staged or not. But man this is a shitty attitude. Imagine taking it as an insult if someone identified you from your best known (and quite good) work.
