Not an expert, but I assume Bottles would be a good idea. It allows you to create separate wine prefixes for each app so if any app is malicious, it shouldn’t affect any other one.
A privacy focused search engine without logs or trackers, own index and above all, the special feature to show in the search result the ads, trackers and other crap waiting for us in every listed page....
Is this service paid? If not, how are they making any money? All I can think of is a) selling users data (and lying) b) selling spots in search results, which means they’ll be overrun with malicious links or other useless garbage. I don’t believe they’re just hosting a search engine out of the kindness of their hearts (:
I also recently discovered mpv --no-video [url]. Useful for when I just want to listen to a podcast or something. Sadly, I can’t get it to work with Spotify
I’m migrating from Brave. I have a whitelist of (sub)domains that I allow to save cookies, a blacklist that’s never allowed, and the rest get deleted when I close my browser....
You could use the uMatrix extension to control not only cookies, but everything else (like scripts, css, images) by subdomain. Inb4 someone says it’s outdated. It works perfectly fine.
I just found out the PSP Go was a thing and I really like the idea of having the screen slide up to reveal the controls. I think this would be a great way to make a more compact version of the Steamdeck. I don’t know about the low profile joysticks though. I’ve never used anything like those before and I’m not sure how...
There’s this stupid theory, that men who “lean in” to the womans side are beta. People who believe this theory post edited pictures of famous couples with an added green line to show how the man is leaning in or show how a man is leaning out to explain that he’s an alpha. Obviously, this is complete BS.
Ive seen MS is having to do a lot of work in regards to pro privacy due to EU regulation, I switched on my oculus quest which I keep offline and questioned if enforced account, locked in applications that serve beyond base functions and the locked down setting, surely all this goes against privacy laws in some way....
But isn’t randomization supposed to give you a different unique fingerprint each time? So yes, you would be unique and easily tracked but only until your fingerprint changes
I think we all draw a line between privacy and convenience and I think I found mine and settled into a comfort zone of sorts. I use Fedora 38.

I sorry if I came off confusing, I’m not a native English speaker so putting my thoughts into English writing is a bit of a barrier for me. I guess I’m just looking for people to point out flaws in my setup and have a discussion on best practices while keeping the comfort factor in mind.
I hadn’t thought about the keyboard! I use SwiftKey (which I now realise is a terrible choice) from way back before I started caring about my privacy. Do you have any good recommendations? The main thing I need is the three word suggestions to have dictionaries for multiple languages. I use Firefox on mobile as well, with pretty much the same settings and uBlock. I’m not sure what you mean by having Google Play services enabled, as I did say I use the store. Is there a way to use it and have the services disabled? Won’t that mess with banking apps? Also not sure what you mean by android tracking blocklists, but I think my dns blocks ads and tracking. I also don’t get any ads in system apps like settings for example. Tbh, I am a little afraid of debloating as I tried that ages ago on a Sony M5 and after uninstalling the apps, my phone started running insanely hot and slow. I had to put it right next to the air conditioner to be able to use it, reinstalled all the apps and the problem went away :D
XMPP sounds like a good idea, however, switching to Signal and convincing the 3 contacts I have there to switch as well wasn’t very easy and I don’t think I could pull it off again in the near future.
It doesn’t need to be maintained if it still works on the latest update of the browser. Also, uBlock is not a full replacement, if there will be a full replacement that is maintained, I’ll gladly switch
