Corona is like the flu. It will never go away. Vaccines didn't make the flu go away. What we want is the stupid reaction to go away.

The measures are all inconsequent bullshit anyway. All the lock downs are pointless, since everyone is allowed to go to the supermarket anyway and masks are proven to not be 100% effective.

If they closed down the supermarkets, too and forced delivery of everything this whole thing would have been over months ago. But the way things have played out were, of course, different.

There wasn't even an effort to put logistics in place that would make grocery delivery feasible for everyone.

Let me go into more detail. Don't use the same browser for clearnet and tor. Never do this.

It's best to clear the data from whatever browser you use for tor every time you start it. The tor browser does this on it's own. It would be easy enough to correlate you via left-over browser data.

You should really be using the tor browser unless you have a specific need to not.

Don't use javascript unless you really need it. That can expose you. Not only that, but who wants to run untrusted code? This will break some sites.

Don't mix your lives. Your bank account should never be accessed over tor. Nor your facebook, twitter or whatever else. Unless that's the only way you ever access it. Think political bloggers in some less than free countries. It depends on your case use. But, never login with the same account on both networks.

I think the concern was more around the fact that now an unknown and random 3rd party can determine who visits the site looking at the logs of how often their stylesheet was requested. I expect that the website owner would be able to view the logs of his own site, but not that a 3rd party (even if an admin) would be able to do the same to a degree.

If you're more or less happy with Thunar, give PCManFM a try. Mostly the same layout so it should feel familiar, with more power user options that don't complicate the UI. In a debian based distro: sudo apt install pcmanfm

Truthfully speaking, I wouldn't care that much. My default position towards websites is distrust. As long as the site in question has some value to me I'm compromising. It's an unfortunate state of affairs, but the web wasn't designed with either privacy nor with security, nor with anonymity in mind, so you don't get any of those. I don't expect this to change, either. Not on the clearnet, anyway. Most people don't even know how things work. They visit websites like they visit a doctor. Unequipped with the knowledge to even notice if something is horribly wrong. We evolved to live in communities where everyone had each others back, so this attitude of trust was an advantage. Nowadays, where nobody has each others back and everyone is looking out only for himself, trust isn't a good thing anymore.

I don't watch anime as they come out, I'll always wait for the blu-ray release. TV releases are often censored and/or unfinished. The BD version will be a finished version, often receiving upgraded animation and occasionally extra scenes or even entire extra episodes.

That's why I'm always at least one year behind everything.
