Adding to this, what would be the best way to store videos, pictures and music over a long period of time?

Ublock has it built in

Searx sucks for images in my experience, startpage was bought by an advertising company, brave is weird for a multitude of reasons but I don’t know how good their search engine is as I’ve never tried it

However I do think that finding a searx instance that works for you and then using another engine like ddg for images is the way to go… You could add a shortcut like “.ddg garbage truck” for easily searching with for example ddg on firefox

No but try MyInsta

I want to steal their income they hate me and everything I stand for

I do not fear a possibility I fear an inevitability.

This argument doesn’t really work, unfortunately. This is a corporation we are talking about (one that is trusted by the majority of normies as well), not a random person. It’s not really equivalent

The problem isn’t that they know about me or you. Or that they know wherever we go and everything about us, more than our family or closest friends. That matters too of course, but the bigger problem is that they know this information about everyone and will know it forever. The issue is systemic privacy. Whenever things go to shit, which they will and partly already have, you’ll be sorry for not caring about privacy. Caring about personal privacy is rebellion and doing your part in the fight for privacy for everyone

I think Gabe said long ago that whenever steam died, you’d somehow be given all the games you owned still

Soulseek is great (use nicotine+) but also check out spicetify (has AdBlock for desktop app plus themes and extensions) and xmanager for Android.

Buy an old car idiot.
