Cool! Let’s get you a “canvas blocker” for anti fingerprinting. It’ll be a browser add-on.

When you log into google, no matter what privacy tech you use? Google knows who you are.

Why are you not blocking ads?

It sounds like what you want is a canvas-blocker addon for your webbrowser. Stop the fingerprinting.

With a VPN and anti-fingerprinting, you’re so much more anonymous! Expect a LOT more captchas. Captchas that glitch and make you start over frequently.

Yeah, aggressively large themes and compositors will take up enough ram to do that.

Duck dot com email proxies are free. Just read the tos to see how private it is.

This is why we put /home on a separate partition for reuse on new installs. It saves your users’ files. Your steam, WM, Firefox config, even document files are already basically portable between installs.

And in those files, we may as well put a bash script that does your pacman/apt/dnf/emerge/yay for the everything. This could be easy like with Gentoo or a PITA like with Debian to just scrape from the system right before migration.

Firefox is weird when you hop between distros. Some distros use the LTS (long term stable) version, others use the normal Stable branch… Does Debian still maintain an IceWeasel fork of Firefox? This means you may want to manually copy a folder to a backup location to manually slot it in after the distro-hop. Either way, you want to download a popular privacy-focused user.js file from Github ;)

Yeah, that doesn’t always work well. And let me be clear - the AUR isn’t the only place NPM is creeping in as an unneeded dependency.

Should? Don’t you mean already do?

Do you even read the pkgbuild files you DL from the AUR?

I adore Qubes!

Until a new version of Fedora gets EOLed. Or Qubes itself.

Setting up ALL of those distros every 3-6 months is a pain in the dick even when nothing goes wrong. And something always goes wrong with enough complexity.

Especially Israeli owned VPNs. Which seems to be most of them lately.

Someone needs to read “The Counterrevolution of 1776”.

We were not the men those fetishized “founding daddies” wrote about. No women, no racial minorities, no poors.

You must own this many plantations to qualify to be “created equal”, from the very beginning of the US. This was obscured successfully for some time, but we are seeing it naked again.

The US declared independence over “taxes without representation”, but only offered representation to the most violently wealthy among former British Nobility, the founders of this Epstein Class. Race was invented by these British-Inheritors to divide and conquer the working class, and it still works today.

The US declared independence over the British Monarchy saying “do not colonize West of the Appalachians, free people already live there.”

And the moment there were whispers in London about abolishing Slavery Empire-wide? Yeah, the US declared Independence.

“But it says ‘all men are created equal!’” you might say. That’s right. From the beginning of the United States, you aren’t fully a man to the state unless you’re in the Epstein Class. Lee Atwater’s Southern Strategy makes this clear 200 years later - you are a demographic to be “managed” to death. Even if you are the favored “white”, your destitution and death are acceptable collateral damage, because you aren’t “a man” to generations of the Epstein Class.

Quit pretending “America” is a thing we must “save”. It was all Genocide of the Natives, all Slavery, all Class-based oppression from the beginning. The Racist Violence is a feature, not a bug. The hatred of the poor is on purpose - and unless youre wealthy from the evil, you’re one of us poors too.

As a US resident:

If China wants my data while the US treats them as a hostile entity? That’s WORLDS better than US companies having my data, and handing it over to the NSA without a warrant.

apt-get is now deprecated on Debian and Ubuntu. But otherwise, no notes.

For something as closed-loop as a keyboard? Shut up and take my money, I need portable keyboard that doesn’t set my arm nerves on fire.

For anything touching the internet? Kill -9 it with fire. All the fire. Declare a butlerian jihad against this, Chile didn’t go far enough.

Edit after reading more: oh shit, its all hype.

Alright, how about for those of us noncriminals you listed 3 categories for?

Inconvenience is fine, so long as its doable.

nobody really needs that level of privacy unless they’re journalists, whistleblowers, activists, or criminals.

Aside from services with limited, capped capacity, we all benefit from those services having a broader userbase. Quit gatekeeping the good shit that needs to be shared.

Guess you wanna maintain your own patchset then? Because that’s what freedom takes - building on the shoulders of giants and corpos, but also scrubbing the spyware off down into the kernel.

I guess those advanced python scripts are no substitute for pixels on the image you’re going to macro.

Too alien to Linux, or too alien to SystemD?

I can’t be the only one who remembers those switches happening Very rapidly one after another for Debian.

If you want, you could always start it up yourself, put the kernel and any odd deps in a portage overlay, and see what happens. I for one welcome the project and would enthusiastically support its return.

Though I recommend switching to the hardenedBSD kernel instead. It would just feel… Right seeing that come home.

In theory, it should be fine with a non-systemd init. OpenRC is tradition in Gentoo after all, and OpenRC is from BSD.
