There is no steam deck 2 planned for years according to Valve.

The other issue with Calyx is that MicroG has had an open bug report for years that when a Google Work account checks for a passcode lock it can't. Thus you can't use Google Work addresses on your phone.

I get that you shouldn't be using google at all, but I have a job and need money. I don't have the ability to not use work Gmail.

Encryption + POP should be part of every privacy conscious person's repertoire.

I've got 99 problems and at least 98 of them can be solved with a fair wage and eating the rich

In Australia we have preferential voting.

Unlike the US you can actually vote for an independent of green candidate without it being a throwaway vote.

When the time comes your independent doesn't have a chance of getting in - they still get funding, but your second third and fourth preferences get taken into account and lesser monies paid out accordingly.

Like, can you imagine being able to vote Bernie without it being a total throwaway?

This is how all voting should work.

1. Password manager such as Bitwarden, generate long strong passwords for everything.
   1a. Corpo SSO (By which I mean "log in with Google/Microsoft/Apple/Whatever") nothing.
2. Hardware keys, MFA on anything that doesn't support one.
3. Degoogle, de-megacorp.
4. Use Linux, stop the Stockholm syndrome that is Windows.

VPN shouldn't even be in the top 10. The benefits are dubious at best and the jury is still out on whether it makes you more of a target or if you can trust ANY provider meaningfully.

Doesn't exist.

Just switch to Pixelfed.

Good friends will talk to you elsewhere like Telegram or Signal.

And an ad blocker should be part of everyone's personal and organisational security model regardless, so you'd have to install ublock and specifically turn it off for YouTube.

But of course, the reason people block ads is most of the Google ads were straight malware at one point.

Multi factor authentication is about having multiple factors for authenticating you:

Something you know (like a password) Something you have (with you - a hardware key, smart card or token) Something you are (biometrics, fingerprint, faceid)

So the idea is that you'll have two points of identification.

But if you have your TOTP token and your generated password in the same password manager - that's effectively only one factor of authentication.

If you've gotten this far you should probably consider a WebAuthn key like the Ubikey to be the "something you have".

Actually I'd prefer a petition for Microsoft to drop Windows support entirely.
