DDG proxies Bing results with extra privacy. Startpage proxies Google results with extra privacy (it's a bit slow in my opinion though).

Ecosia proxies both with a bit oft extra privacy, as long as you don't click or block the advertised results.

SearX proxies whatever you want, but its kinda slow last time I tried it.

Brave Search builds their own index, which is pretty good (on par with Bing) even though they're only about a year old at this point. The company is a bit sketchy though.

Depends in how clean your room is. I have a case without dust filters and it's been running for over a year without any visible dust accumulating.

Also it's mounted up high, the further you can get from your floor the cleaner it'll be.

You don't really need any airflow there. The only thing that gets hot there is memory, but that is already cooled through the PCB (good heat conductor because of the copper), which is cooled by the regular heat sink.

free libre open source software.

Basically software by the people for the people controlled and kept in check by the people.

A lot oft ROMs allow you go completely disable Internet access for a certain app. Disabling the data collection toggles in GBoard and disabling internet access for GBoard, Play Services, Play Store and the Google App should prevent most logging.

Almost all Linuxes are really private. Because of your ethics and morals, I would probably switch to Debian or Arch, and use Flatpak where possible to prevent apps from spying on one another and reading files from other apps or your system.

Kicksecure, Whonix, Tails, Qubes, ... exist but they're not needed and to much of a hassle for day to day use for most people.

Firefox Sync exists though, and it does the same.

Somehow they might got a special version of the app. Really really unlikely though, it's probably just A/B testing or false logs.

According to Exodus Privacy (they analize mobile apps for trackers), Ally only contains Amazon and Google trackers (Google Firebase Analytics is used by almost all apps): https://reports.exodus-privacy.eu.org/en/reports/com.ally.MobileBanking/latest/

Others also say their Ally app doesn't connect to Facebook. Maybe you have a Unicorn or a modified app (rather unlikely though)?

I'm German myself, and luckily I haven't heard "polen" so far (Edit: Might be because I live next to France not Poland). But a lot of my classmates make a lot of kinda racist jokes about the AfD (right, potentially extremist political party) and I can't tell whether they're actually racist or not.
