Abolish Facebook

All of these morons are the same dumb assholes who 3 weeks ago wanted to rice their Arch installs to be as minimal as possible. Now they’re re rolling a vibe coded reskin for babies. These are some of the dumbest people alive

Funding for what? Some dotfiles? I literally don’t understand why forking Arch would require a third of a million dollars.

Changing PW managers is dead simple. Takes like 5 minutes. There are a handful of great OSS options.

I’m a little out of the loop I guess. Why do all these corpos care about this dork’s Arch reskin?

Going back to school at 30 was the best decision i ever made ngl

Invidious likely isn’t profiling you. If it worries you that much, you can stand up your own instance. It seems like a fun project.

That said, you absolutely don’t need to justify your desire for privacy here. I totally understand you. I’ve kind of landed on a “best effort” approach where I just try not to break shit but use as much privacy focuses stuff I can and check if my browser has a randomized fingerprint on EFF’s coveryourtracks.eff.org/, which you should visit. I use Helium and a small number of addons and that’s it.

Here’s the bottom line. You’re not going to be able to disappear on the internet without a massive and cumbersome effort which is not worth it relative to what I am gathering about your threat model. The very first thing you should do when considering privacy is 1. What you want to keep private and 2. Who you are trying to keep it private from. At the end of the day, you sound like me. I want to keep my browsing history and as much of my personal information as private as possible from data brokers, advertisers and my ISP. For that you need a layered approach. 1, VPN with no logs like mullvad. 2, Encrypted or at the very least recursive DNS resolver. 3, A somewhat randomized browser fingerprint. The last one is tricky because it’s actually just impossible. You can use stock librewolf to share your fingerprint with other users but imo that doesn’t work for my use case, as there are some pretty radical changes to the way I would have to use the internet, so I use Helium, which uses fingerprint farbling, and call it a day.

In the end, that works for me. It’s important to remember privacy is a spectrum. There is no such thing as total anonymity, everything you do to make yourself more private is productive and helpful. It’s about assessing your threat model and taking the correct steps, not trying to become a ghost, because that will drive you nuts and your internet browsing experience will be so degraded you might as well not even use it in the first place.
