that said, I can't stand having someone stalk and monetize your every move

Well, they can't. I have an anonymus account only for youtube that I access only over the VPN with adblockers.

I don't want to do all that just to watch a few videos a day.

Ye mullvad uses their blocklists but does not provide the features mostly listed in the security tab. I still don't get how dot and doh are relevant with phishing.

Is it necessary, compared to the measures I mentioned above?

That product is trash but how is what you're doing helping with phishing?

Expecting Discord to delete your data is like expecting a company to burn the money you paid them after you stop doing business with them.

Duck Tracker Block vs VPN in c/[email protected]

The only purpose of vpns is to hide your ip address, which is already dynamic and is shared by many people or access location restricted content.

Don't use a VPN.

I bursted into laugjter when he started pulling out an actual arsenal of weapons. It was very unexpected.

Do you daily drive Wayland, if so since when, if not when will you? (lemmy.ml)
 

I've been on Wayland for the past two years exclusively (Nvidia).

I thought it was okay for the most part but then I had to switch to an X session recently. The experience felt about the same. Out of curiosity, I played a couple of games and realized they worked much better. Steam doesn't go nuts either.

Made me think maybe people aren't actually adopting it that aggressively despite the constant coverage in the community. And that maybe I should just go back.

EA games launched through Steam are borked (lemmy.ml)
 

Ever since the issue with Apex not launching was fixed, I'm not able to play any EA games with Steam Proton.

Apex, which doesn't launch through the EA app flickers immensely on Fullscreen and Borderless Window. Flicker goes away when windowed, but the GPU utilization regularly goes down for a few seconds, dropping the FPS.

Titanfall 2 and Battlefield 5: I get an EA app screen that says "Preparing Game" which exits after about 1 minute (I think steam is timing it out).

Proton logs show some errors about not being able to load a few DLLs but research on the internet points to them not being relevant.

I have tried on all combinations of below:

  • Hyprland, KDE, and Gnome. All Wayland.
  • NVIDIA 545 and 550
  • Linux-zen 6.7 and 6.8
  • Arch Linux and NixOS
  • Proton 7 through Proton Experimental as well as GE 9.1 and 9.2
