Physical SIMs you can get on the street in many places, vending machines, eBay, wherever.

Unfortunately there are many countries where the law requires activation with identity documents.
Surely somewhere one can find them already activated, but I wonder what legal or other kind of problems it may cause.

Relevant:

Arkenfox is now a bit more user friendly. It also has a wiki with overrides for the more annoying stuff. Setting it up is a bit tedious, but I guess most advanced users will be interested in using overrides anyway.

It would probably be easier to just use librewolf, which is almost the same but disabling some annoying things and adding gui switches for some of them.

I think the only relevant criticism I see is adding affiliate codes to urls (until they were caught).

The author also forgot the polemic of adding twitter and facebook trackers to the whitelist, and impersonating people in their ads. There are some interesting criticisms against brave, I don't understand why their detractors are obsessed with the CEO and crypto.

IGG is very toxic website that has a history of adding various types of malware (both web and games), including cryptominers.
It's higher on that list, even though for some reason it only highlights the (barely coherent) silliness that it has DRM.

I'm not know the nosteam website, it's odd that they mention it on the list but it's not listed.

I'm a bit confused to see that the hate falls entirely on ubuntu. Isn't the change in the ppa of mozillateam, owned by mozilla?

Edit: It seems that mozillateam is actually ubuntu.

I guess reasonably well? It's hard to assess, but anyway I also use user.js from arkenfox which includes many other changes; they also have this service to detect fingerprints that I suspect you are interested in, it has the particularity to detect tampering.

Oh, I used canvasblocker for a lot of years, it's great. But I disabled it because from arkenfox it is not recommended together with privacy.resistfingerprinting.

I get 100% using only ublock in firefox, without configuring either. Note that stacking filters not only reduces performance, but also increases your fingerprint.

How is the quality of the offline translator?

Maybe this will make people think twice about getting pregnant.

Are you implying that women have to be held responsible for their actions? What a bold and sexist argument! It's easy to evidence it by reversing the genders, can you imagine men being forced to support their children and being held responsible for choosing to have sex? Oh wait, that's right, but it's not like they are forced (prioritizing the mother's whim to raise) even if they are not able to do it or has been raped by the mother... oh wait, that happens too.

Speaking a bit more seriously I would like to add (since I am sure that many people have not read the news), that the young woman caused the abortion at 23 weeks when there is already a (slim) reasonable viability, and that she had a choice to do it legally until 20 weeks. Also and going back to sexism, that fathers have so few rights that (without a marriage) they can't even keep their children if the mother chooses to give them up for adoption.

Nobody would call linux to android (or vice versa), despite having the same kernel.
At least if we speak colloquially, the environment/ecosystem is really enough to define the OS.

I would like to put it in plain text for better accessibility, but I guess that would get me banned from half the fediverse.

Edit: I tried to post it on pastebin and it was instantly blocked for offensive content. There was better luck on privatebin.

The worst thing is that, compared to empress, they were quite moderate. I don't know what's wrong with them or why they're all so mad... but I love the drama, I'm looking forward to the next episode.

Some of the things I have written down, are mostly old so if anything is missing or needs correction, please let me know:

They have shady origins, no one knows who they are or where they came from, but they did it with enough funds to quickly expand a large worldwide network of servers and an endless aggressive advertising campaign everywhere.

Misleading advertising, from saying they are the best in the world to adding countdowns to get an offer that restarts when clearing cookies.

They were hacked and tried to hide it for a very, very long time.

Their app on mac pings google every 20 seconds. The android app is riddled with trackers. They use a myriad of integrated google services.

They do not offer open source or audited apps.

If you cancel the auto-renewal of the service, you lose many secondary services and they charge you weeks before the end of the subscription.

In short, they are the kind of company that screams that they don't deserve anyone's trust, and that's a big problem for a VPN. I suggest mullvad, they have a long history of good practices, are privacy activists and are backed by companies like mozilla.

I think we will finish sooner if we make a list of ethical corporations:

They have a very long history of mismanaging money and wasting it on worthless projects, not to mention multi-million dollar executive salaries while laying off hundreds of workers and many other controversies.

Firefox is the only reason I don't want that useless walking corpse to die for good. And I can't even support it, since it belongs to the corporation rather than the foundation.

You might want to tell her about bitrot, the pixels in her beloved collection will be dying randomly without her being able to notice.
On the other hand, it's not like a usb with fat32 is any better at all, or that a good backup system is easy to set up (maybe synology?).

It is inevitable that there will be a performance loss when using wine, but it is usually quite small. Partially/totally broken games aside, if you have a good pc you won't notice the difference.

So, if the fps of games like superhot (a bit ironic example) are terrible for you, I guess there are two options:
There is something wrong with your setup, for example a gpu with little (or no?) vulkan compatibility, or using the nouveau driver instead of nvida.
Or the small difference in performance makes a big impact on your toaster, so you should use using something like AtlasOS, while eating toast.
