If you don't mind reading a little bit and "work hard" to get some things done and "have fun" then I'd suggest to try :
Clonezilla and Rescuezilla The Clonezilla method takes a bit time to get used to (but I like it). Rescuezilla comes with a GUI.
What ? You did not obey the surveillance capitalism overlords ? :-) /j
Thanks for sharing, good to know!
Is PixelFed https://pixelfed.org a good alternative for privacy minded people out there ? I know that PixelFed users can be followed from Mastodon which seems nice to me.
Cool, that works. Thank you.
Exactly. What makes this a bit complicated and maybe interesting from a historical point of view is that this is about Spain. A country which has been very slow with removing some of the "relics" from the fascist Franco era (Franco died in 1975) and at the same time having regions that long for independence like Basque country and Catalunya (and the post topic is related to that, Catalunya aiming for independence). Since the Twin Towers attacks in 2001 the words "terror suspect" and "terrorists" have been used much more often (also by ordinary "normies" people that I knew) and maybe not always rightly so.

Why is asking for feedback a bad thing? IMO it’s better than just being on by default, and still gives the developers an opportunity to at least get SOME useful feedback instead of all the people that screech about how telemetry should be banned entirely. I would bet money none of those people are professional developers.
Indeed. Programmers really love feedback to improve their applications. I bet that everyone who installs apps for iOS or Android from the Google Play Store will have lots of apps that have crash-a-lytics, or whatever it is called, installed.
There is a lot of Ubuntu hate and it is easy to go with that and repeat.
Telling people that there is no difference between installing Ubuntu and Windows is kind of cruel imho. A fresh Ubuntu installation allows the new Linux user to learn Linux and after some time they can decide to go for Arch Linux, Debian (The install is not that easy as with Ubuntu for a beginner Linux user), MX Linux or whatever they prefer.
Except with a VPN you’re not identified by the servers you connect to, so they can safely not log any traffic and as such, law enforcement can’t ask to hand out data about a specific account because they don’t know which account did it. Same goes for logging the IP of the account, because again, they don’t know which account it is, and can’t force a service to log all users for the sake of finding one.
VPN and Tor and I guess i2p can disguise your IP address indeed.
It’s not true for mail services however, as the email address is your login and/or is linked to a specific account, forever and exclusively.
I'm not following what you mean by this ?

You’re the ones defending a service yet you don’t know that. Seems like someone who just found out the service can do better research. But hey, thanks for not being overly aggressive and claiming to know everything like this other guy.
I simply asked you a question and thanks for pointing out more details. I have decided to trust Riseup and Disroot for reasons in the past. It is up to me to care about my privacy and security when there is the need for it. Other people will use Google Gmail with GnuPG, that up to them.
And did you suddenly feel the need to buy a motorcycle ?

I've read that GIMP developers refuse to change the name despite complaints since a long time. A fork of GIMP (Glimpse) is discontinued. Luckily there's other names in that area :
