I think you are right. My post is simply a PSA to let people know that clicking forget on a Wi-Fi network or uninstalling a Flatpak does not remove all traces.

My scenario is also not specifically crafted; it is what happened to Ross Ulbricht.

The problem with logs is that drive encryption is uselss in a Ross Ulbricht like situation where someone takes your laptop while ut is unlocked.

Drive encryption is useless if your laptop is taken while unlocked. Learn from Ross Ulbricht.

If someone takes your laptop while it is unlocked rhey can see the logs. It is dangerous to keep them on if you are somewhere like China and use your laptop in a public space.

I have only posted it twice. If you’ve seen it multiple times that’s either because you’ve scrolled to the same point in your feed or there are repost bots around.

It is not. Linux distros log a lot of things or of the box and if your laptop gets seized while logged in then they can be accessed.

That is the point. I know it doesn’t read very well but I wrote it as most people don’t know what their PC is secretly recording.

They turn off file history in the DE settings and always use incognito mode so they think their PC is amnesic except for the files they explicitly save, however it is not.

If a Cellebrite can dump the storage of a locked iPhone, intelligence agencies almost certainly can grab your logs.

You can change the icon pack, font, grid size, colours, etc all to your preference.

I know. Unfortunately the alternatives are pay-to-win (Odysee) or political (Rumble).

You can try Morphe on your phone and SmartTube on your TV.

Companies always give their best deals to new customers. You are likely paying way higher than market rate for your bills.

Crypto is likely the best solution. You should get some Monero and donate that. You can ask an AI chatbot like Google AI studio how to get some and put it into a self custody wallet in your country.

Wikipedia has enough money to pay their costs for decades, so I recommend dropping them.

Look on a price comparison site. Most of the bill increases are due to the loyalty tax.

You can turn off the fingerprint protection in the Librewolf tab of the settings page.

Morphe takes the official YouTube app and modifies it to remove ads and add background play morphe.software

You should try Librewolf and Helium.

They are a bit untransparent to me with how direct match (inserts affiliate links) and whitelisting of “partner sites” are enabled by default without consent.

Use Librewolf as your main browser with Helium for Google Meet.

Install uBlock Origin and disable any others then the ad blocker problem will be solved.

As for other things, look for backups. If DDG shuts down, search up alternatives. If piefed.social shuts down, find another instance, and do on.
