The Privacy Iceberg

(I tried my best)

The background is an iceberg with 6 levels, denoting 6 different levels of privacy.

An underwater section of the iceberg is titled “The Beginner” with a quote beside it that says “I don’t like hackers and spying”. The logos depicted in this section are:

A lower section of the iceberg is titled “The Privacy Enthusiast” with a quote beside it that says “I have nothing I want to show”. The logos depicted in this section are:

An even lower section of the iceberg is titled “The Privacy Activist” with a quote beside it that says “Privacy is a human right”. The logos depicted in this section are:

The lowest portion of the iceberg is titled “The Ghost”. There is a quote beside it that has been intentionally redacted. The images depicted in this section are:

    I was at the bike shop a few weeks back and a ghost walked in. He came in wearing a medical mask covered by a bandana, sunglasses, cap. They wore gloves, long sleaved pants and shirt.

    First question from staff, ‘this a robbery?’

    Ghost, ‘no, I just need 27 2.5 tubes, miss.’

    They get the tubes, he agrees. Staff asks if he has an account. Ghost says, “nope, why would I need one?” Staff says they do it for records, insurance claim assist, and discounts. Ghost goes with a John Doe, pays cash and peaces the fuck out.

    Total King, but dude was given up a lot. Half of us were drinking beers enjoying a warm evening in spring. I hope he has had some good rides.

    I can say with confidence thay he was a white male. In his 50s. About 5’10". 140 lbs-ish. If anyone wants to get any tips, good luck!

      Probably because people above the waterline don’t know Mozilla exists, and people below have seen how things have been going lately.

        Firefox is really bad a portraying what they’re actually doing, and the privacy concerns people have with them have been widely overblown. But on top of that librewolf is a privacy oriented fork not made by Mozilla

          For want of $100 /year Apple developer subscription , the libewolf team can’t sign binaries for Silicon M series Macs.

          I spent an hour and a half trying to get librewolf to work, and just gave up for Waterfox instead.

          On my laptop I run Firefox for some things, Watefox for others, and fall back to Chrome only as absolutely necessary when Gecko can’t get me there.

            I tried waterfox and it was just too glitchy for me I had many more crashes than Firefox, and their claim to fame was that chrome extensions worked with it but I literally never got a single one working. Session buddy just saves your sessions locally, but that would not work AT ALL on waterfox.

              I didn’t even know that they claim Chrome extensions will work, I simply use the Firefox extensions in Waterfox.

              My browsing style is antiquated, my ADHD will only afford me about eight tabs per browser window and I usually have about four of those going at a time.

              I aggressively kill tabs to save my own mental memory more than the machine’s memory.

              What caused it to crash so many times and how long ago did you use it? I’ve been using Waterfox for years and it’s been mostly great. I also never use Chrome extensions; just stick to Firefox add-ons.
