Privacy front‑end services for Twitch such as SafeTwitch and Twineo are currently non‑functional/archived; their instances appear either offline or remain perpetually at “Searching…”. Are there alternative web front‑ends available? I attempted to set up my own instance, but despite several hours of effort I was unable to succeed.

 

I am looking for a free, privacy‑centric app for endless doom‑scrolling that serves as an alternative to Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook—without the need for social connections, or chatting.

 

Mouse movements, typing speed, and typing style can serve as unique identifiers, much like fingerprints. As AI technology advances, it may become increasingly effective at recognizing these patterns, potentially compromising individuals' anonymity. Are there any measures available to protect against this?

Buying a computer online? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Hi there! If I buy a computer on Amazon from a trusted brand like Apple or Lenovo, will they keep my name and address and connect that information to the serial numbers of the computer's parts? I'm especially worried about this when I visit various websites that track serial numbers from my PC while browsing or when using gaming platforms like Steam. Would it be wiser to purchase it from a physical store using cash, or a second-hand computer from ebay instead?
