SimpleX is starting to delve into Crypto. Some may care, some may not but it is a newer development in the project.

CoMaps is the fork of Organic Maps as it was found that Organic Maps Devs were using the app in ways not intended. Mostly due to privacy, transparency and for profit issues.

Or, if one wants to go the minimalist, smallest threat footprint way, one can go in the other direction and use F-Droid Classic. Think a debloated F-Droid, made by the F-Droid folks.

I would argue that he is also using the war in Gaza to avoid facing these charges that have been hanging over his head for years now. You know, 'cause they are at war. He is a horrible human.

This is a bit of a misnomer. No one PC can be fully anonymized or fully private, even if the PC provided fake data points, they will still be technically fingerprinted. Having said that, having a browser that tries to spoof stuff like LibreWolf, Tor or IronFox is decent.

The gains in using a VPN, among other best practices is that helps --assuming people do not log on to something like Google-- is to minimize the fingerprint of the PC to you, as a user. Assuming one trust their VPN provider, helps.

Tor leverages the point of having all users look and be fingerprinted mostly as the same, so you get lost in the shuffle and crowd.

Lastly, If the news gets you down, then do what I was told to say, use Better Health. Picking someone who works for you can be difficult, and here at Better Health, you are able to switch to a different mental health proffesional, free of charge. Join our glorified chat service passing for mental health, today.

Lastly, lastly, do not forget to purchase my brand new power energy slop or lunchables for your kids, they are almost food. The lunchables, not the kids.

The real fix is switching to Linux if possible.

One word: Gates

Bill Gates Has an Environmental Switch On Environment Focus. Everyone follows the money.

Quite true, but that should not be a reason to use Gmail, anyway.

More so if you have friends who are not on Gmail.

That’s because I’m the aggregate they are all the same. Regardless of party most are corrupt and get along just fine behind close doors.

I mean, Pelosi made over $100 million on the stock market via inside trading, a number of GOP do the same, maybe not well as her, but they do it, too.

Always wanted to like Vivaldi. Like the aesthetic options but it always feels very bloated a browser. LibreWolf with uBlock can be enough to be highly useful and it feels leaner. I do miss the old Opera with the Presto engine, sigh.

When objective, real Criticism is labeled as “anti-semetic” just by fact of existing, then it makes you question how much you are being lied to in so many things regarding them and their interests.

Sadly, AI cannot be trusted on this topic if that is what it does.

France is doing something akin to this by increasing their “voluntary” army. Which will not be so voluntary, in the hopes to increase trained people and army numbers.

That is why I disable auto-update.

Been using uBlock for what feels like 15 years now. I find it weird and off putting when using other people’s PCs without it. So many ads and so much garbage everywhere. Same when I watch network TV.

True, water is wet.

Also, did you know that Greenland has ridiculously vast natural resources on top of being a choke point for the northwest passage?

From experience, if the drive starts making clicking noises, often, and it never did before, I agree, it could be a sign that the drive is starting to die.

Best practice at that point is to make a backup of vital files. No one wants to wake up one day to a dead drive without a backup.

Even now, on one my machines one of the drives is starting to switch to READ only, which usually means something is failing and the PC tries to minimize damage by switching to that. I van fix it with a chsk on terminal but I assume its days are numbered.

OP needs to backup. Just in case.

I use IronFox and I do pass that test. Only browser that I use that does. FF and Cromite do not.

True, but JS off also makes the web so Mich faster and in many cases less annoying. More so if uBlock is used on Medium mode.

Do not get the point here. He did in fact and historically used that name. So we are deleting history now because we are not supposed like Hitler or Elon?

Stalin was a mass murderer, so was Mao, yet they also went by some nicer names. No one has ever raised a serious issue about that.

I do not think anyone here is denying that Hitler was a National Socialist.

Slow news day, I guess.
