Just checked both of those out. Eco looks like it might be what I was looking for! Watched a video where a guy joined a server of "red team" and "blue team", and the reds/socialists way out produced the blues. I think the multiplayer aspect is what intrigues me, as long as it doesn't allow wreckers to ruin everything.
RimWorld also looks interesting, the randomness mechanic I think is really good for a single player game.
I love getting IOF propaganda suggested to me by YouTube while I'm searching for music
Is there a game like this but for constructing buildings, villages, and means of production? I barely play any games, so maybe I'm just describing Minecraft or Civ. But I played Valheim with my friends when that game first came out, and I got so invested in building a village for the group that I didn't even play the main story line.
Basically I think I'd really be into a game which is like a historical materialism simulator. Starting from building a small village community, building defenses from the elements, improving means of production and discovering new technologies, class conflict as new technologies wipe away the social basis for old traditions, conflict with other civilizations, etc. I feel like I'm just describing Civ (haven't played) but is there one which is more first-person?
Edit: let's say it's a game where you take the role of Hegel's Spirit but also hop into the body of an individual character at different times, kind of like a cross between Civ and Minecraft. It would be cool if a server would last several months or years, with players logging in and improving the society somewhat. If you don't log in for a month, you might come back and find that the user base advanced the server from feudalism to capitalism, or maybe two parts of the map went to massive war against each other.
The episode which introduces Frank Grimes is memorable. Think what would happen if a person outside the Simpsons universe moved into Springfield and became Homer's coworker.
Me to myself: "Oh yeah, I wonder about that one Lithuanian artist Jonas Mekas, what are his politics like?"
Wikipedia:
During World War II, Mekas edited and contributed to two far-right, collaborationist newspapers under the Nazi occupation of Lithuania, the significance of which has been debated by historians.
“Nine people were rescued from the sunken bus. Two are in serious condition, four are in a state of clinical death. Unfortunately, 3 people died,” the press service of the Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations reported.
In Saint Petersburg, a bus with ~~20 people~~ 9? people fell into the Moyka River. Cause is unknown, but there was one rumor that the driver was working on a 20 hour shift with 2 hours of sleep.

Live stream and a news article for this one.

On Saturday morning, a group of protesters arrived at Yle's Helsinki office to demand that Yle withdraw from Eurovision because Israel is participating in the competition.
Israel's participation has attracted strong criticism , as Israel is waging a war in the Palestinian territory of Gaza.
In the press release, the protesters say that Israel will get a platform to polish its own image in Eurovision.
From the first link:
US law requires that the US defunds global institutions that admit Palestine as a member (remember the US's "commitment" to the two-state solution?)
If Biden chooses to defund the UN as a result, it will only further undermine the US's standing.
What would happen in the case where the US defunds UN? Would the US be ineligible to vote, the same way as what happened with Venezuela and Afghanistan? What does that do to a permanent member of the security council? I assume the answer to all of these questions is it doesn't change anything. Just curious.
I think I got something working. I'm also on OxygenOS 14, the "Keep Screen On" app worked for me ONLY if I was currently in the app, and only for a 30 minute timeout. This other app called Coffee [source code] is working for me. Screen is still on several minutes after the 15 second screen timeout.
Also, in case you can't find something on F-Droid, there's also the app Obtainium which can grab apks from github/gitlab code repositories directly in some cases.
edit: Seems that these two apps function differently. The "Keep Screen On" app is a front-end to rewrite the system sleep lock timer to something really high. The "Coffee" app registers a new PowerManager.WakeLock which tells the system that the device needs to stay on. Or if you choose Alternate mode in Coffee, it'll fall back to the way Keep Screen On works.
This is basically Ex Machina played in reverse
