Tails is a bit overkill, even for this. It's not just privacy focused, it's for the same people who need to use TOR (Tails even routes all traffic through TOR by default IIRC, no?), i.e. those who are sharing classified government intel or running large darknet drug markets. Unless OP is that paranoid, they can probably start off with a basic Debian or something, which is already leagues ahead of Windows in terms of privacy.

I would not bother archiving the mainstream releases that can already be found on many torrent sites (like, you don't need to archive Star Wars or Lord of the Rings) and focus on the bootleg disks first. You just need any standard DVD drive, then use Handbreak to rip the disks to a video file. For official releases, many of them have forms of copy protection, but 15 minutes on Google should tell you how to get around any you come across.
Also, for reference, "burning" a DVD is writing data to a disk, so the opposite of what you're trying to do.
Sorry, Microsoft might make crappy software, but they aren't actively trying to invalidate my existence as a person. Absolutely not comparable.
Why would you need to block apps installing from non-Play Store sources? You shouldn't be plugging your phone into mysterious USB ports, and the OS should always prompt you before installing a local .apk file. If you're savvy enough to use F-Droid, you're savvy enough to not need that hand-holding "safety" feature.
You mean the scientist who, as the article says, "represented cigarette maker R.J. Reynolds in negotiations with the Department of Health and Human Services about cigarette additives, according to a 1984 corporate memo"? Yeah, I'm sure this guy is completely unbiased towards corporate interests.
I'm guessing that all mods will more or less need to be remade from scratch (apart from assets)
I did! I remember it being fun, but not my favorite of the Lego board games.
Side note: I really love the Lego dice pieces, I'm glad I got some.
I mean, it's about as permanent as you can get within the US's political system. It's not really up for "interpretation" like Roe v. Wade, it's literally just "the State Constitution has changed so this law is now unconstitutional". If a future judge(s) were to overrule this, it would be blatantly and objectively partisan, which is a much bigger deal with state courts than it is Federal ones
Yeah. It turns out that the "Alpha" and "Omega" wolves are just... The parents of the pack. It's got nothing to do with the Alpha being macho or assertive or anything like how it's been portrayed for decades.
The researcher who first published his faulty observations has been trying to correct the public consciousness for years, but it's really hard to undo something that was taught so widely
Ive never had to download a codec to use VLC, it should come built-in with every codec you may reasonably encounter on commercial DVDs.
If you take something to block your body's natural production of hormones and don't take anything to replace them, you will eventually develop osteoporosis, which is very much not fun.
Do you have a static IP address? CG-NAT has done a really great job of hindering torrents, since my understanding is that at least one side of the connection needs to have an open port. So, if you don't, then only the few people who do are able to download from you, which can make it seem like no one wants your stuff.
