Thoughts on Some Things

Horrible Game Companies

EA. Money hungry. | Rockstar. Silly American dream games. | Blizzard. Extremely stupid and Irresponsible. SHRINK Blizzard bans player for supporting Hong Kong. Because they love China Money. | Activision. Also Greedy people who can't publish proper games. | Ubisoft. Lazy recycling of the same game.

Why GNU/Linux is Great!

Free, Libre and Open-Source! | No ads! | Fun commands! | Retro games | No forced updates! | Your desktop is yours to command!

Cool Linux Apps

Video - VLC/Celluloid/mpv | Music - Rhythmbox | Drawing - GIMP, Inkscape, MyPaint, Krita, sct (change screen temp, good for long nights)

How to Browse More Securely

Download uMatrix, and turn off everything globally except HTML and CSS. Turn on the other things as desired. The important part here is that Javascript and cookies are OFF! So you are limiting how much connecions you are making, therefore limiting how much you are being spied on.

Download uBlock Origin and enable the option, "Prevent WebRTC from leaking local IP addresses". This will not have your ip leak when doing voice or video calling through a web app. You can also do so in the config section of your browser.

Some Thoughts

When using Tor, remember, you are only anonymous, not private. As on the net, someone can still see what you're doing. They just don't know it's "you".

Gopher is a great alternative to the http protocol for basic text pages, without any bloat, ads, trackers, or other nonsense. Browsers that can access it are the links ones (elinks, links, links2, lynx). And you can get extensions for the modern ones to access these sites. Create your own!

Make sure to support small developers who create small projects, like nitter, invidious, and liberapay!

Get into the habit of sharing stuff via Tor/Freenet/i2p/ipfs and P2P only. And encrypt everything.

  • divide and conquer, seperate people, and they're easier to control. This is modern government. Romanian MEP Exposes Corrupt EU-Tyranny.
  • Surveillance is a convenient excuse to protect the one thing thats important to everyone: Money. Otherwise, whats the point? Lots of restaurants don't have cameras; yet superstores do. and theyre set up like a panopticon; to see you at every angle, even when you don't see them.
  • On the Apple logo: Why is there a bite in it? Because that's all the features they're restricting you from.
  • If you don't want to fight for your rights and freedoms, you might as well quit. You are the equivalent of being dead. And if you don't want to, then fight until it changes. Because it wont, if you don't.
