This is the piracy community, not the privacy one 🙃

True, but privacy is especially important for pirates.

This is one of my preferred privacy guides because privacyguides.org has some questionable recommendations

questionable recommendations

Like what?

  • Brave while performing well on benchmarks does not have an auditable codebase, and most privacy experts would recommend a privacy-focused firefox fork like librewolf or arkenfox
  • Their cloud storage recommendations make no mention of rolling your own with syncthing or nextcloud
  • Apple mail is part of Apple's spyware ecosystem to collect data about you for the purposes of advertising

I will say, it's much improved over what it used to be

Same here, some of their recommendations are indeed off

I deserve it 😭

When this unironically suggests SuperTuxCart over Mario Cart, I really question if they actually try anything they're promoting.
