They can still see what sites you visit even with Secure DNS though. That only blocks your ISP from seeing what domain names you’re connecting to, but they can still see the IP addresses. It’s useless, unless you’re using a VPN in which case it is worse for your privacy as it makes you more identifiable than just using your VPN’s DNS.

If you see that I’ve edited some of my posts/comments, it’s most likely a grammatical error or a spelling mistake I’ve fixed as I’m not a native speaker :)

My recommendations:
Organic Maps -> CoMaps (they got forked because of some bad decisions.)
Brave -> Helium (has full uBlock Origin and Ungoogled Chromium patches, and no crypto bloat)
LibreTube -> PipePipe (has some nice features like live chat, and less buggy in my experience)
LibreOffice -> OnlyOffice (has better Microsoft Office compatibility, and easier to use in my experience)Disable your third-party DNS, that only works to make you more identifiable as you’re already using a VPN. You can also use Syncthing to sync your password vault etc. between your devices. I’d also recommend using Posteo instead of Tuta because it is cheaper and its privacy policy is kinda better.

0·8 days agoMullvad VPN is always enabled with lockdown mode on my PC and my phone, I’m supposing that they’ve shadowbanned me because I’m using a VPN. I also don’t think Reddit is going to keep my IP private from the government so that’s why I do not plan on creating an account without a VPN.
I guess I could go to a cafe and try signing up via public Wi-Fi, but most of those in my city require a phone number to connect to, so I’m currently trying to find a way to do this without searching for a cafe that doesn’t have such a requirement :(

Do you have a link for where you saw those? I’m also not paying 30USD for a Reddit account :D, but I wouldn’t mind paying a smaller amount.

Most of them don’t seem to care. I saw one comment that said even if only 1% of the population identified as queer, they couldn’t fit all those people in prison. I think they really underestimate the amount of people that will comply with these laws.
BS as in for example claiming that the “knocking star” in the Quran was Muhammad knowing about pulsars, or that Zechariah 9:9 was a fulfilled messianic prophecy because Jesus rode a donkey. I’m an atheist myself, I just want to learn more about theology.
Not strictly, but I wouldn’t mind anything on that.
What history books? What religious studies books? That is what I’m asking for.

Kerbal Space Program is pretty great for getting to understand a rather simplified version of orbital mechanics and aerodynamics (no n-body physics unless you install Principia and no realistic aerodynamics unless you install FAR). Just don’t buy KSP 2.
For mods, you should use CKAN to get them. The comments in this Reddit thread have some good recommendations. You can also play with the RP-1 modpack + Principia if you want an ultra realistic experience:

This is the one I use:

Hyprland is probably the one you’re thinking of, as they became a “Gold-tier sponsor” for the project. They have also sent out “large quantities of hardware” to Omarchy though.

Just as the person who said something has the right to say that thing, other people have the right to for example not watch that person’s show anymore.

NewPipe’s extractor doesn’t work properly right now, as you can only watch videos in 360p. That’s the biggest upside of PipePipe but it also has some extra features like these:
