Even if this doesn't protect me against Valve itself, this will be very useful. Thank you!
Alright, I'm going to check that out.
I also heard of Lutris in another community, what is your opinion on that one?
Thats smth I'm definitly going to do, ty.
-
I actually never heard of Lutris before, could you please provide me some links, etc. so I can get into it?
-
I don't really know what you mean by "other means", let's say Hogwarts Legacy for example. How could I acquire it otherwise, besides buying it for a console?

Alright.
It simple depends on your needs.
I personally use Signal, I donated to Signal, and even if it's not perfect, I think it's a great project.
I also have SimpleX installed for "anonymous" conversations with strangers.
And that's it.
I think what you really need is threat modeling. It seems like you're currently trying to protect yourself against anything and everything. That's not necessarily wrong, but it stresses you out and overwhelms you. And it's ultimately not really beneficial either. I suggest reading the guide from PrivacyGuides.org and other resources. Ente and Proton also recently wrote a blog post about it.

I'm at a point where I'd like to play certain games, but I dislike that they're exclusively available on consoles and Steam for Desktop. Steam's Privacy Policy and Terms of Service raise concerns about my personal security and privacy. I'm looking for advice on how to improve my privacy while using Steam.
Thank you in advance!

Bad research. Brave and Vivaldi will continue the support for MV2 extension, the CEO of Brave said they will continue the support even if they have to host the code themself.
I accidentally removed a MicroSD card from an Android device running Android 12 while it was being ejected. This happened because it took longer than usual (less than a few seconds), and I pulled it out without looking at the notification. Now, when I insert the MicroSD card into any Android device, it tells me to format it to use it, as a problem has occurred. It also gives me the option to format it and extend the internal storage. The third option is to skip both and do it later, which keeps the SD card unreadable by the system. The MicroSD card contains a lot of data that's important to me, and unfortunately, I had no backup, as I always considered my MicroSD as an external storage medium for such data. I would really appreciate any help on how I can resolve this issue and make the SD card data accessible again by Android.
Thank you for reading! 🥲
Edit: Don't ask me why or how. But I put the SD Card into a phone running Android 14, and booted it. The SD Card could be actually read by the phone after it finished booting. I turned the phone off again, pulled the SD card out and put it back into it's original running Android 12 and magically it works again! My theory is that the Android 14 recognized and automatically fixed what was wrong and this made the card readable again to older Android versions.
Thanks to everyone who commented!

Remember, it's Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo. Not angels.
In Germany there are laws in place which forbid filming or taking pictures of others without their consent. It's called the "Right to your own picture". There are exceptions, for example when you take a picture of a famous building with hundreds of people in front of it.

I think you haven't understood the difference between privacy, and total anonymity, do you?
Same. Everything depends on your needs, believes and preferences. Even in terms of privacy and security, there is not on solution for everyone.
Even if Firefox fanboys and Brave lovers and these few Pale moon users.. try to tell xou otherwise.
My advice to you is to do research on your own and find smth which fits best for u and ur threat model.
TL;DR: There is nothing like that. Anyone claiming something else is basically lying to u.
Especially when it comes to privacy and security.
You can't compare Lavabit to Proton.
And you can't compare urself to Edward Snowden.
I think it's not the services fault that people aren't aware of the limits of encrypted services. They are not going to shut everythin' down just for a few people, if you need smth anonymous Proton is not for you.
Also, it's your task to have good opsec. If you give your iCloud email to Proton which has personal information sticked to it, your fault.
Oh okay, never heard of this since it's very unsual to give static IPs to people, especially since IPv4 adresses are very limited in their amount.
Both are good, depending on your personal preferences one could fit your work flow better than the other. In terms of privacy I did not recognize any difference.
