I don’t. I just hope for the best and try to install as few things as possible.
I’m focussing on disaster recovery now, more than prevention. Prevention seems like it’s almost impossible in this age.
EDIT: I mistakenly answered based on security, not privacy.
I want this so bad. Although in practice I imagine none of this will fit together well with the YouTube interface or with a custom desktop background.
Do VPN’s actually protect against any of that? They’re basically only useful if you want to get around your country’s internet filters, log into a website that has blocked your IP, or hide your traffic from the government (and in the latter’s case, Tor is probably a better pick).
I guess it may help with tracking, but there are so many ways in which your tracked, is your IP even one of them?
I wonder if there’s a security (not privacy) focussed fork of Firefox?
The wikipedia page for Zen Browser, LibreWolf, and GNU Icecat mention security so they’d be a good start. I don’t have the technical knowledge to investigate them. I think I’ll change to a de-googled Chromium browser when visiting shady sites but stick to a Gecko-based browser for anything mainstream (including Lemmy).
I should probably also do all my banking on mobile and make my security settings on Proton Mail stricter.
I’m part-way through Valheim right now. Single-player on Windows, I’m gonna change to Linux in a few weeks I think.
Just deleted my Facebook account. Now I just need any of my friends to install Threema (or maybe Revolt?).
I just finished my accounting course yesterday, but I’m not sure my assignments met the training guidelines so I’m hesitant to uninstall Windows if I may be asked to come back and redo some assignments (not sure I even need Windows for that though).
Reddit is still an issue, can’t find Twitter manga and de-Americaification advice on Lemmy.
YouTube I’ve reduced my engagement on but haven’t deleted. Discord I’m lurking in some essential group chats. Still on an 10-year old iPhone, gotta get a new open-source one. I’m sticking with Steam for games.
I thought it was as much as the $10-$20 keys from key resellers.
Anyone know of a desktop equivalent to IronFox?
