This is an image someone else posted here. Asking if there was a desktop environment that looked like that. There wasn’t really.
For the record, I run Linux Mint Xfce with Chicago95. Honestly it was a mistake, the vibes of the UI are nice but it still feels kinda Linuxy (as in, held together with duct tape) and I keep roling up Firefox by mistake. SerenityOS or FreeBSD, something Unix-like, may be more what I’m looking for.
I can’t believe Javascript on PDF’s is enabled on default on Firefox. NOBODY wants that.
I considered Proton Drive but stopped when I realized that if I did then access to my email would be contingent on keeping up to date with my subscription, where it wouldn’t on the free tier.
I meant more on the security front than UI, but Librewolf does mention “security” 5 times on their page so I guess they are probably more secure than base FireFox.
Specifically the CEO of Proton thinks the Republicans were more responsive to his concerns about privacy, if I remember correctly.
I changed to Proton, but I don’t want to spend money on Proton Drive because if I do and my payment lapses then I’ll be unable to receive emails. FFS, why are they giving paying customers a less reliable service. Considered getting the lifetime Proton Pass offer but since I’ll never use it it’s too much to spend just on priority customer service and ensuring my account won’t get deleted if I end up in a coma.
Anyone know of a desktop equivalent to IronFox?
I don’t. I just hope for the best and try to install as few things as possible.
I’m focussing on disaster recovery now, more than prevention. Prevention seems like it’s almost impossible in this age.
EDIT: I mistakenly answered based on security, not privacy.
Thank you Tampermonkey, for allowing me to fix the YouTube UI.
I want this so bad. Although in practice I imagine none of this will fit together well with the YouTube interface or with a custom desktop background.
I considered switching from Proton to Fastmail, because Proton seems to run slow in Australia. Immediately stopped considering once I realized they delete your account if you don’t pay for 6 months (and by extension, you’ll lose all your connected accounts).
So if you’re homeless, arrested, deported, or in a coma and come out of it you’ll end up losing your entire digital life.
Do your own research. This is supposed to be a starting point.
Honestly that sounds amazing. Being in constant awe at the wonders of the modern world.

No, we don’t have free will. HOWEVER, I don’t think that arguement will hold up in court.
Capitalism.
Tried looking up how to bake wholemeal bread with just plain wholemeal flour and white bread flour (I can’t buy wholemeal bread flour at my supermarket). AI really is everywhere and it’s making the internet useless.
Guess I could’ve done the before:202X trick.
Haven’t switched from YouTube, but I’ve blocked recommendations (and auto-muted ads) with a browser extension for I think a few years now. I wouldn’t say it’s necessarily made my life better, but it has made my engagement with YouTube better.
I’ve been deleting my subscriptions one by one, if the channels don’t consistently post stuff I find valuable with the hopes of eventually removing YouTube from my life entirely.
The way Reddit fosters echo-chambers probably makes it the worst in my book.
Do VPN’s actually protect against any of that? They’re basically only useful if you want to get around your country’s internet filters, log into a website that has blocked your IP, or hide your traffic from the government (and in the latter’s case, Tor is probably a better pick).
I guess it may help with tracking, but there are so many ways in which your tracked, is your IP even one of them?
Bluetooth didn’t work on my laptop. Got new bluetooth card (exact same type). Bluetooth still didn’t work.
Turns out:
