  • Oh no? I'm sure some people won't code workarounds..!

  • Literally how can they enforce this on Linux? It's open-source, people just won't choose those versions or edit that out of the code.

  • No, I would never trust them. General rule of thumb: don't trust Youtube advertisements. They seem very sketchy to me. Why would these companies and data brokers willingly delete your data by just asking? Not to mention that it would instantly resurface in a million other areas. The best thing to do is to instead not give out that information in general, or not make it obvious who you are.

  • No, no, but try to recognise and change some of your writing habits.

  • The article barely mentions this, and I haven't seen comments here mentioning it, but a huge factor in determining identities is one's writing style. In fact, analyzing the way people speak and write is its own science (linguistic forensics) and is also used by law enforcement (though can realistically be done by anyone with OSINT and basic understanding of individual linguistic patterns.) Dead giveaways are especially if you consistently misspell a certain word or use a certain emoticon or uncommon phrase or word, it's like a linguistic footprint. If Andy123 on Reddit and XxwhateverxX both spell appearance as appearence and both say booyah and both spell :) as (:, then it is much easier to tell that they may be the same person. This is something that you must be aware of, as well as giving out personal information like country of origin, amount of pets, place of work, etc.

  • Agreed! I also use the "if I recognise the brand, it is suspicious". I try to avoid larger brands when I can, because that means that most definitely they are bad, like Nestle and all the many brands Nestle owns.

  • My general philosophy is that if I see it advertised, be very skeptical. That's why I will never trust any vpn sponsorships, or deletme or incogni or anything, because they've been advertised a lot. Gotta be suspicious of everything.

  • I can relate. I've been on a privacy journey for months now, and I am constantly amazed at the quality of FREE and open source alternatives (many of them often come from Europe, so before I focused on European tech, I was already using a lot). You can have a better time and also have significantly better privacy for free, which I think has wonderful, and has made me feel much better and made browsing the internet a better experience.

  • How do you reignite that creative spark?

    Jump

  • I've found that the best things to ever happen to my creativity were playing roleplay games (like d&d) with friends and fanfiction, as silly and childish as it sounds. Creating OCs, as well. I focus on my OCs far before I focus on a story I want to write, and the most fun part of writing for me is writing characters.

  • I know almost nothing about computers, I'm searching up issues with wifi, and I see things like ethernet and you have to connect to a hot spot or something, how did you get wifi set up? And how did you get bluetooth set up?

    Edit to add: From my research, I know how to find the button and connect, but apparently it doesn't show for some people, so I need to activate hotspot on my phone and connect it to my computer, then download required drivers (wireless driver?) and then I will be good to go. Does this sound right?
