Are there any guides, tutorials or similar on how to use Steam more privately?

I'm at a point where I'd like to play certain games, but I dislike that they're exclusively available on consoles and Steam for Desktop. Steam's Privacy Policy and Terms of Service raise concerns about my personal security and privacy. I'm looking for advice on how to improve my privacy while using Steam....

Depends on whether piracy is less of an ethical issue than supporting a sexist transphobe.

Rose ,

The corporate overlords are inherently right-wing, which is why they fund, build, and embrace those platforms. There's no revolt in joining them.

As far as I know, Startpage uses Bing, not Google now. The same is true for Ecosia.

Rose ,

It didn't return any search results during the Bing outage, as experienced by me personally and reported by others. At least one blog post claims it relies on Bing.

Rose ,

That's what they say, but I'd expect it to be producing some results even in the event of Bing being down if that were the case.

Its Russian founder recently praised Musk in an interview for Tucker Carlson.

Since XP, I always upgraded to the next version whenever it came out. The insane hardware requirements of Windows 11 make it the only exception.

Rose ,

They absolutely are unreasonably high. My barely overclocked 6700K is sufficient for virtually every new or slightly older game I throw at it, but somehow it's not enough for the OS?

Rose ,

There are already precedents of software (the Riot games) and the OS itself refusing to work if the requirements are bypassed, so it's a very risky move that nobody should choose for their main OS.

Rose ,

As of today, the revenue share is still the same as before the last acquisitions, right? The entry requirements are the same and the discovery tools aren't worse? If so, and the issue is with the layoffs and unionization, that's true for countless other companies, especially in gaming.

Rose ,

Which of them support e2e in group chats by default?

Rose ,

There is guilded.gg as well but I don't know if it's better for privacy.

Rose ,

Don't many of the IRC servers expose your IP address and have bots that store every chat message?

Rose ,

A friend told me there's no point in stealing them as it's impossible to unlock or wipe them, which would give them the edge at least in that respect. Is this accurate?

Rose ,

Why is this a problem? Buy one used if buying from Google is a problem. Then flash.

Rose ,

What makes it better than Mullvad and IVPN?

Rose ,

That's also how Valve ended up allowing refunds on Steam.

Rose ,

In countries like Georgia and Syria, the minimum annual wage is below $100.

Whats the purpose for usernames on signal?

Been using signal for years and love it and got the majority of my contacts on to it. My question is how are usernames useful now? You still need to register with a phone number with signal to limit spam and bots afaik and I'm assuming you should protect your username just like you do your phone number anyways because spam,...

Rose ,

Every scenario. Why would you ever want to share your phone number with anyone unless you must call each other specifically on the phone?

Rose ,

Pigs are cute. He isn't.

Rose ,

Is there no Google Sheets alternative that would allow to display it without having to download?

Also, there's not a lot of value in placing it on GitHub if you can't even preview the changes of a submitted pull request.

Rose ,

Worse than merely being homophobic, as he financially supported politicians and causes that worked to prevent equal rights.

Rose ,

This has been known for years and it's not different from the behavior of EAC, whether it's good or bad.

Rose ,

Fair point!
