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.
Australian Labor is not the UK Labor Party. They have actual talent, because somehow an island of 25 mil can muster more talent than one of 68 mil.
I'm sure some will say that Australian Labor is centrist or even center-right. But regardless, they're at least halfway competent.
Doing socialization anyway ... is the therapist-backed approach.
Nihilism works wonders I guess. So does not going outside.
I'm part-way through Valheim right now. Single-player on Windows, I'm gonna change to Linux in a few weeks I think.
Or just excessively bright LEDs. Just because LEDs are super efficient, doesn't mean they should take them as bright as they can go.
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.
They already mine rare earths in America and Australia, it's just production's slow because there's not much demand for gourmet rare earths.
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?
