Thanks for pointing that out. The non-commercial license is a disappointment, but it's still better than conventional printers.

Personally between downloading music from youtube with yt-dlp and bandcamp I don't feel like I'm missing out.

emacs has everything on this list I think.

This is so stupid. you don't pay so you're not allowed to make the project better by contributing?? I think this person has a very poor understanding of what open source and libre software are. also, open source has not been refered to as a cancer, the GPL has, because of it's copyleft. I have the impression this person does not really know what they are talking about.

dnsmasq with a blocklist, like /etc/hosts except you can use wildcards on whole domains. Then you just make your router's default dns to point to the computer running dnsmasq. https://landchad.net/dnsmasq/

Why do programming language developpers even feel the need to reinvent package management every time? Like, just use the system's package manager?

"By using a VPN, aren't you essentially transferring your accountability to the VPN provider?". This is true if you aren't paying for your VPN in an anonimous way, which is why 99% of the "VPN fOr PRiVacY" are scams.

tor is an onion proxy software, and tor-browser is a custom version of firefox which uses tor to connect to the web. Usually when people say tor they mean the tor browser but you can actually have any browser use tor (although it's less safe). You should look into something that can control a headless browser like puppeteer and have the headless browser use the tor SOCKS interface. I don't actually know if that's possible, never tried that, but I think that's where you should be looking.

what you are saying is plain wrong or not explained well. Using tor with javascript enabled you are getting the javascript anonymously, however in the process of running that javascript there is a risk of deanonymisation (for instance, that javascript code could be doing fingerprinting and other bad stuff).

Glad I use arch btw, pacman manages my python packages so I don't have to deal with all this mess.

Github is one of many public software repositories like Gitlab, Codeberg, sourcehut... You could search there also.
