I went through switching recently. Anytime you log in somewhere I would change the email of that account, and integrate it i to a password manager while being at it.
Bit by bit you become more independant from Gmail.
As a bonus I also started using a service like AddyMail or SimpleLogin, so that I have different emails for different accounts. Quite easy to use.
For example, I 3d printed a box over my outlet to protect my cables from my bed pushing against it. In addition, my cables never fall to the floor so they’re much easier to grab.
So you are telling me that you found the idea of using disposable plastic wrap instead of reusable zipbags revolutionairy? Huh, seems like a step back to me.
I am using Jellyfin daily, I do not think the UI needs any work to be perfectly usable. All I do is watch videos though, file sorting and naming I do in the file manager.
As it says also in your quote, they just don’t share IP and search term together. More detailed description from www.ecosia.org/privacy under “What data do you share with search results providers?”.
For example, when searching for “tree” on Ecosia we forward the following information to our partner, Bing: IP address (to a separate fraud detection server, so your search term and IP address are never sent to the same server), meta-data on your device that is necessary for the result like screen size, search term, and some settings like your country and language setting.

It was not only about privacy but also about ‘[…]tons of implementation details[…]’ as said in the comment I linked above.
Vivaldi and the people behind it can be as privacy focused as they want, they still ship the product of a giant ad company as long as it is still chromium based. And therefore they support that companys monopoly on the browser market.
I mostly agree with you about wanting to use a browser that is ‘[…] secure, privacy-respecting […] innovative […] caters to needs’ etc, however I disagree that using Firefox amounts to a lost philosophical battle. I also disagree that you can simply fork chromium if Google decides to implement harmful features.
Since Chromium is dominating the browser market, most (web)developers do only take chromium compatibility into account, making other alternatives less attractive. This leads to more domination of Chromium, making people dependant on its use. Most people will not bother with looking at other Chromium browsers and will just use Chrome as they are already doing today.
At that point, Google, who contributes the most code to Chromium by far, can implement any number of harmful but profitable features into the project. Downstream browser makers would then be required to maintain their own fork if they do not want to incorporate these features, which I am not confident is economically viable.
So I do not quite understand why privacy- and monopoly-conscious people today opt for a Chromium based browser while there are perfectly good alternatives that are not primarily based on the product of a giant (ad) company like Google.
Many parent control apps are more like Spyware and are often also exactly that, Spyware which spy on your Kids.

I was looking at browsers in the Play store and saw the Ghostery browser. It’s now apparently based on Firefox, and I assume the Ghostery (plugin/extension) functionality is built in. Does it protect privacy better than other browsers and is it worth trying out? I currently use Firefox on android but I detest it’s UI...
Following the news that “Beeper becomes first RCS chat app for iPhones, introducing support for Google Messages with RCS” what are your thoughts on the app and on the RCS forced by Google? Is it worth a try? Or should I stick to Matrix and Signal?...
There are quite a few public servers that have bridges implemented. Sadly the official server list does not say which of them has bridges but just check the websites of some and pick one you like.
I had the same behaviour, I played everything with mouse and keyboard. Dead Cells, Assassins Creed, Sekiro, Dark Souls, etc. Then with Elden Ring I gave the controller a try just to see how it is, and it worked flawlessly. I think it is just about with what you to a game first.
I convinced my brother to move from Win10 to Fedora and he had a mostly seamless experience.
Only problems he encountered were with GTA V online play, offline worked but he could not go online, and with game modding. On Windows he used vortex mod manager which did not work for him with the Lutris install script.
what are you looking for in the upcoming year(s) for osm?

Does anyone have experience with playing Baldurs Gate 3 from GOG?
I have read it runs fine on steam but would rather buy it on GOG due to the lack of DRM.
