Off the top of my head: Half Life 2! OpenTTD, Dwarf Fortress, Minecraft.

I use mailbox.org personally. Disroot is probably fine. Do they have 2FA? That would be the most essential thing you want here if you're worried about being hacked by an outside party. 2FA would even mitigate a password leak in most cases, since they'd only have 1 of the authentication factors.

If you're worried about hacking, you can do some things to mitigate the damage that would cause. Download important old emails and delete them from the server, this is pretty easy to do in a desktop client (like thunderbird or outlook) where you'd just move them to a local folder. That way if someone gains access, or they sell to someone that processes the data, they won't have the old emails (unless they for some reason retained a separate copy, which seems doubtful).

Sign your email up for https://haveibeenpwned.com/. Then you'll get notifications if there's any data leaks, including of your email provider. Obviously this is only useful if nobody has stolen your account before the leak is reported, but that's more likely than not (unless you're a particularly valuable target for some reason).

A craftsmen wouldn't be damaging it, they'd be modifying it to make it more useful to you.

This article is also only applicable to EU, where (as your link mentions) alternative browsers don't need to be WebKit. Chrome and Firefox are already working on switching.

I'm glad I skipped release day. Definitely waiting to buy it on sale after it's been fixed with updates and DLC. Sucks to see companies treat buyers like testers.

I understand where you're coming from. It's true the survey doesn't have any male polling group to compare to, so it's difficult to quantify the difference.

But I still think it's valuable for a couple reasons. For one, I think improving biking conditions for women and improving them for everyone is largely the same thing, so for the most part the solutions are the same no matter how you frame it.

For two, there is good data showing that women bike less than men when there's less infrastructure, but that gap closes as the infrastructure improves. There might be a lot of reasons for that. I tend to believe, from comparing my experiences with the women I know, that it's a mix of women receiving more (and scarier) abuse while biking, and young men just being more risk-tolerant in general. So why I agree this article doesn't really prove that thesis, I'm personally inclined to think there's truth to it.

That saying isn't trying to explain all of IP law. It's referring to products where there is no way to buy a copy you have permanent possession of. There's a reason you don't see the same fervor around pirating books.

Or tape over the camera hole.

Also, no, this is not an ideal way to do this. Ideally every package you want is in your distro's repos so you'd just need to do "apt install [package]".

The reason this one isn't is because mullvad wants to make sure you use their tested, secure, and updated version and they don't want to maintain that for every distro. So they have you configure your package manager to use their repos.

This is relatively uncommon to come across in Debian. You'll normally only find it in security applications or very niche ones. The Debian repos aren't the most comprehensive but they'll contain the vast majority of common softwares.

One thing to consider is that it's not just hosting a site, it's all the work they do to do the DRM removal and the repack. That takes time, which might be time they could be using to earn money. So getting some money from their work can help incentivize it.

Hard to say what that actually boils down to for each person, if they're not releasing any expenses info (site costs, time spent per project, etc). If you're thinking about donating, I'd think of it more as a "thank you" gift for their work than anything else, and give an amount you wouldn't miss.

I just bought Fallout 4 GOTY for $5 the other day. Look forward to doing the same in a few years when Cyberpunk 2077 has a final release with everything fixed and polished. There's so many good old games, why buy anything brand new.

And this doesn't forgive devs for buggy initial releases either, because I'm not throwing money at something until it's actually done.

This is all true personal best practices, but that doesn't mean it's bad to ask for better retention policies from the services you use. What you're talking about is true privacy and security; the critiques OP outlines are about reducing exposure when you are public. Will that reduction be verifiably perfect? No. But it's still better than nothing, especially in cases where you're just trying to protect from a specific threat, like someone you know irl seeing something that you regret posting.
