Don’t feed the troll. These Upper Caste fucks only know how to bootlick the Hindutvadi regime.

Quite the same story for me. Each temperature range seems to sort of turn the coffee into slightly different beverages and each of them feels good in their own right even though it is just coffee.

🤣

There are. It was surprising to me but apparently there is a decent number of people who use edge on Linux.

This is true. I am unsure why this comment is getting downvoted more.

Part of Mozilla’s funding comes from Google. I adore their browser and other software however the corporate itself has a questionable history as it is with many corporates usually anyway.

Greetings. uBlock Origin is a great choice. However I must add that you should instead opt for a custom user.js and drop Privacy Badger and Decentraleyes as they are mostly redundant. Refer this.

As for Startpage and DuckDuckGo, I suggest avoiding them. These are not open source search engines and have a suspicious and questionable history regarding their ethical position. I suggest SearXNG. It is an open source Meta Search Engine, i.e., it congregates results related to your search from multiple search engines without giving them your IP. As it is open source, it is self hostable (you may request your instance admin to host one if you wish to) and multiple instances exist. Make your selection here.

Firefox is a great browser to switch to, it has a vast variety of customizability in configuration. It is a very flexible browser and it has helped me a lot in the past few years.

As a further suggestion on top of it, do use a custom user.js to harden your browser even more, set up your DNS Resolver to use Quad9 or any other private DNS Server like Scaleway, NextDNS, etc.

I also recommend using Oblivious DNS over HTTPS for added security.

I am on a Freedesktop Linux system hence I refered to the Archlinux Wiki in setting the beforementioned configurations up.

I have not seen advertisements in a long time accounting to a few years. I have abandoned all the proprietary data harvesting platforms and rarely surf web for no reason. Using libre software, platforms and only referring to specific reliable scientific sources helps a lot in reducing the wastage of time. It also helps in planning things better and I have seen that I am generally able to complete my self assigned projects faster. It also leaves me with more time to spend in leisure. Of course it also combats addiction to mostly useless Social Media. Being away from all the toxicity on the internet also keeps me happier. It’s quite disgusting how tech corporates exploit millions of users’ data for Capital generation.

“The Gods Must be Crazy”

Oof. That movie was one hell of ride.

True. Feeder is a great app. Every morning, I wake up and have my coffee while reading my news feed via Feeder.

Looks nice. I used to have a Solarized Dark Rice an year ago when I used Artix.

I really do not see any logical basis that makes you separate privacy friendliness from User Friendliness. If a platform wishes to be user friendly, privacy is also one of the fundamental rights of a user the platform needs to take care of for it to be considered friendly to a user.

The fact that a lot of people, not ‘everybody’, are comfortable with Instagram has no strong points to consolidate your own position. It only describes how good the horrible marketting of Giant Tech Corporations is at entrapping millions of people into using it, generating life long addictions and the eventual wastage of time on degenerate culture. While the Corporations collect all that data available to them to further their own Capitalist interests.

Privacy does come at a cost and compromise. A slightly less funkier UI for a far more secure platform, for essentially 0 cost is a lot one could ask for, especially when you are comparing a Libre project made by a small organization to a proprietary project made by a Multi Billionaire MNC.

I will not be apologetic in saying that you are the child here who is tailing the mass of consumers without proper analysis.

It is ironic that you call a Proprietary Data Harvester Platform User “Friendly”. Well forget users. Meta even collects data of non users to top off the grimness.

Surprised Void Linux has not been recommended. I suggest giving it a try.
