  • I had the exact same issue when I created a Tuta email, thankfully they solved my problem in less than 24h after I emailed them about this.

    Just send an e-mail. your account was flagged as bot.

  • Isn't duck.ai private? At least they say that...

  • Multilingual people, do you feel better about yourself than those that only speak one language? Monolingual people, do you envy/admire Multilingual people? And why?

  • I think you're very well when it comes to privacy, but that's not mininalism, finding private alternatives is different from digital minimalism.

    To me, digital minimalism would be: Go from a note pad app to a physical note book.

    While what you're doing is going from a note pad app to a more privacy friendly digital app.

    I agree with the digital minimalism tho, I think the less we depend on cloud the less we have to worry about.

  • My Privacy Setup v2

    Jump

  • I don't like the idea of paying too much for privacy, I fear this might be one more of capitalism ideas, creating the problem and offering you the solution.

    So my privacy journey is limited:

    • Listen to all songs downloaded offline
    • Use VSCodium for coding (VSCode without telemetry)
    • Lineage on Android
    • Arch on PC, Windows 10 IoT LTSC (with debloat scripts, no linked account) for games
    • LibreWolf on PC and IronFox on Android, both with LibRedirect enabled for all sites and uBO
    • DNSNet on Android to block trackers system-wide, I also like to see which url is trying to track me
    • All apps are mostly Lineage or AOSP native, Files, Calculator, Messages, Contacts etc...
    • Use pCloud for backup with encrypted files (using GPG, not pCloud encryption, I send them encrypted)
    • I use Lemmy and Invidious for entertainment
    • Tuta as primary email and Proton as secondary

    I think this is the main stuff, as I said, I try to avoid making new accounts, accessing new websites frequently, I'm going the opposite way and trying to de-tech as much as possible. Less digital accounts, less things to worry about.

    I became less dependent of fancy things, a few time ago I couldn't use YouTube without the app installed, which is very convenient, now I just use Invidious in browser.

    How successful would a masked vigilante be in real life?

    Jump

  • Not much if the guy isn't bullet proof, any weapon would kill him, surely it won't be like movies where heroes dodge bullets all the time.

  • What do you still use reddit for?

    Jump

  • I tried to use it a few days ago and the toxicity is insane, it feels like Reddit is filled with trash talking kids to draw attention to themselves or AIs.

    You can't have a healthy discussion there anymore.

  • YSK: Reddit webpage has unblockable trackers, even with Ublock Origin installed

    Jump

  • Yes, that's what I told uBO team when I opened a discussion on their sub, they said they tried it but some functions like chat stopped working properly.

    I'd try it myself but I think I really don't care that much anymore, let it just die already.

  • YSK: Reddit webpage has unblockable trackers, even with Ublock Origin installed

    Jump

  • Yes, redlib do the job if you want to be completely anonymous, same as Invidious.

  • What are your suggestions and techniques for studying effectively?

    Jump

  • You first need to learn the very basics concept of what you're trying to learn, sometimes you're jumping straight to subjects that won't ever make sense to you unless you memorize it.

    This is the problem with most of people, they learn a lot of stuff, but not the very basics, because they think it won't be necessary.

    I can only learn if I understand the how and why something is as it is.

    For example: Why is 1 + 1 equals 2? Who said it's equals 2? Is it really equals 2? Or maybe we all just agree that it's equals 2 so we can talk the same language in numbers? Why do we need to know that 1 + 1 is equals 2?

    This kind of very basics I mean, you need to find a purpose on what you're learning and bring it to practice.

  • I'm finally going to get to work on downloading all my music and abandoning streaming services. Any tips and/or advice?

  • Windows 10 End Of Life - Your Story

    Jump

  • I'm still using Windows on dual-boot with Arch because of games, that's the only reason. I've Windows 10 LTSC IoT, which is the most debloated version available, plus I ran a debloater script, so the OS is basically raw now, no Microsoft account linked.

    Unfortunately Windows still gets more performance, at least on my experience, I've a Laptop 16GB RAM, Hybrid GPU (GeForce 1650 4VRAM + AMD).

    I'm still not prepared to give up from this little extra performance just to switch to Linux, it really makes a difference, and I pass the whole day dealing with Linux so at the end of the day I just want to boot into something that just works without major tweaks.

    I know it's not Linux fault, but most games are made to run better on Windows. If and when W10 become unusable, I'll switch to 100% Linux without any doubt, it's my last Windows.

  • For Linux gaming (including DX12), is there a strong reason to choose NVIDIA over AMD?

    Jump

  • I'd say given the AMD contributions to Linux better to support them with your money instead of NVIDIA.

  • Master vs main (again)

    Jump

  • I dislike master because main is shorter and faster to type

  • ProtonVPN or Mullvad? Why would you choose one over another?

  • Facebook got my precise location just using my IP, I decided to create a fake account to use FB market place, they warned me about an "unknown login", it's the first time I've seen this, usually websites only know approximate location, but this time just by knowing my IP they hit exactly the small town where I live, instead of near towns which is the normal. I suspect they had my IP from other devices allowing location in the same network (same wifi), then they could safely associate that IP with my exact location even tho I didn't enable any GPS any time.

  • I don't play EA games it's being years. My Steam profile description is "#NoEAGames #NoUbisoftGames".

    There's even some really good old games from EA but I just don't play it, and that's it.
