I've been using Megasync for the better half of the last decade or so. Has good browser integration for all the operating systems and file managers that I use, so that's the main reason I've kept using their service. I am hoping to build my own server soon and run a self hosted instance of...

Accurate

I've been using the free version of Winstep Nexus. It's the closest thing that I can get to a Windows equivalent to my Linux docks: Plank and Latte.

I've never been a fan of DDG or SearX. The interfaces are a bit dated and never really to my liking. SP is essentially what I wish Google offered. It also gets Google results which I usually prefer. I will occasionally use the other 2 though.

All of mine go to the top of my screen regardless of OS. I have a dock at the bottom also regardless of OS.

uBlock Origin, FaceBook Container, StartPage, and Greasemonkey

I finally have a pure Linux phone running on modern hardware. :P

Ooh, boy. I believe my first one was a Nokia 3310, but I also had a Motorola Razr back in the day as well. Several phones later, I got an iPhone 4 as my first smart phone and even later that that, a OnePlus 6 as my first Android phone.

Day-ta. Anything else is heresy. I generally bounce between pro-cessor and praw(h)-cessor. Depends on how bad I've picked up a British/Canadian accent that day. I do believe it is a long A for the first and a short O for the second. If that helps any.

I use Discord for quite a lot of my online chatting. I also use it for a bit of screen sharing/voice calls. I've moved most of that over to Wire though (especially since the team that requires that is a Linux distro team, and I would rather keep things as FOSS as possible). I've been using...

I had never heard of it. I don't have to use it, and I'm quite happy I don't have to. I'm sure it's not that bad in the end, but I do have some personal issues with the application and platform. I've been using Wire to initiate video/screen sharing meetings for my Linux distro team, and we've...

Whatever screen size OnePlus is selling.

Yeah. I have to VPN into my university department's network when I need access to my data on their servers. Really helpful when working from home. From what I can tell, the new common "privacy" use for VPNs seems to be masking the user's IP address. Not entirely certain if that's the goal...

I have nothing to hide as well sans my access to email accounts. Had a few accounts stolen over the year. This was while using proper password creation and still being privacy minded. I've had my bank account hacked before as well. My wife's desk/table in our office was not purchased by us...

I'm fully aware that my data is being used somehow, but I still make an active effort to mitigate the degree to which it's being harvested. I have create a sandboxed email accounts if I need access to platforms that are known for data harvesting. This way, they aren't tied to any personal...
