There are a bunch of services trying to cover this, Incogni, deleteme as you said, optery, kanary, privacy bee, etc.
Incogni's supposedly fairly good but I haven't used it myself.
None of them are a silver bullet, their theoretical success rate is somewhere around the 60-70% mark. I would recommend you dig into "data poisoning" too. The idea is to flood your online profile with contradictory information, (fake a dresses, wrong age, alternate names) so your profile becomes unreliable and less valuable.
Some services like Data Bee do that to some degree. Nowadays it kinda works but smart systems can filter this data by comparing your online profiles in different places and saying "this age matches in 4 places, this name too" etc, so that's hard
But i'd try some cheap platform, and pair that with manually deleting as much of your data manually from any app, individual accounts etc, even if that takes a bunch of time
nope, I'd rather see steam get into Sim hardware, like Wheels or HOTAS
it happens. Very expensive cars that aren't more reliable than 2010s and 2000s counterparts, super expensive to repair and maintain. Now with all the electric market, european brands are lagging behind to chinese brands. I want european brands to thrive, but damn, sometimes I think "they've been forgetting what people want for a while now"
What can I say, germany has been beat up with holocaust and such arguments. People obviously switched sides, and now saying anything that somewhat resembles not liking jewish influence in our politics is extreme antisemitism or something like that
So now, in mainstream media, we have a mix of people complaining about this situation with germany being more jewish than ever in political support and such, with touches of people calling everyone dissagreeing with this nazi. And the actual politicians dont give a crap and let people protest and fight
It happens. If the union that's supposed to unite european countries and their values, says quote "we have the values of the talmud"-ursula. That means we are being run by a parliament that cares more about Israel and jewish values than all values and wishes from european countries and citizens
What we want doesn't matter. We don't control the EU, someone else does.
most socalist governments like mine (Spain's) vote in favour of these kind of stuff. They want more control, not less lol. And believe it or not, most right wing parties that usually are somewhat nationalist, tend to believe their own people deserve privacy or media freedom or whatever, no matter what other countries think
why would It have to be 50/50? genuine question
I personally want the best of each on every seat of the european parliament, no matter if for some area that means they are 90% men or 90% women, just like you'd want the police to be 100% capable, no matter if they're women or men in some%
Not only Id. like many new Id verification systems, that have the ALT option of taking a selfie... Which is easily bypassed by any AI image, or searching for "picture of a man" and taking a """"selfie""" of that.
Or using a relative's ID. As of now they don't care to check if the ID or Picture matches the social media profile, I guess they (social media platforms) only care about complying even if the implementation is flawy
perhaps a big total of 20
the ban is so harsh it can be bypassed by saying you were born earlier and that's it, so absolutely no one will be affected or care
Just out of curiosity, what browser would you recommend?
Since they starting pushing AI music including AI music under accounts of deceased artists, I can't be proud using it
You do you, I'm just informing that it isn't a good company
If you have a single original thought that isn't 99% aligned with the mods on users of that instance, that's what happens, you're fascist /s
Even if they don't do it now, they can become an alternative browser engine for Apple in the EU. You can check the full thing here
What's next? In this regard, keep improving WPT tests which you can check out here, keep lowering time here
And then just keep improving browser to match standards and be ready for alpha in 2026
I often see people with different setups to dock their steam deck and play, steam deck docked to portable monitor, custom stands, TVs, or whatever.
But I've only seen people using it as their main PC while actively searching for it, and I get the feeling that that's not a very common use, and that surprises me, as I believe its a hell of an offer to buy the cheapest model (like now 330€ LCD), and run that docked as your PC. When you want to play or bring it to the couch, you can do so because you got a cheap steam deck not a cheap pc. (I know laptops exist, but c'mon)
Anyway, I'm getting further and further away from the title, but again, this thing fascinates me. I used to have;
Main pc + 2 screens
then it was
Main pc +1 screen + 1GF with 1 Steamdeck with 1 screen
And now
1 me with 1 steamdeck and sometimes both screens (which really impressed me when I first saw it), and my gf with my used to be main PC.
And so, for you, what are your favourite or niche use cases for it? Do you daily drive it as a PC? Do you feel like the steam deck lacks anything for a good desktop experience?
pd. Yes, I really made the post image for this one post, and it absolutely took me too much time for what it is.
Hello guys, today I wanted to talk about a project I deeply care about and I'm actively contributing to, as I believe its good for everyone, including privacy concerned users
This browser comes from the project "SerenityOS", and has since evolved and separated from it. The founders are Andreas Kling, and Chris Wanstrath. The main goal of this project is to create a browser from scratch, avoiding chromium, gecko, etc. The main keypoints that should be of interest for Privacy Oriented Users are the following:
Ladybird lead (Andreas Kling) states "We're not monetizing users, in any way. This is uncharted territory for browsers. So we're not going to do any default search deals. We're not going to do cryptocurrencies or try to monetize user data, just sponsorships and donations"
While** Ladybird will implement current web standards including cookie handling and tracking mechanisms for compatibility**, the browser's philosophy puts the user in control of these decisions, not the company. The browser won't have built-in incentives to encourage data collection since it doesn't profit from it.
It aims to be "free from advertising's influence" Ladybird, representing a shift away from the current web ecosystem where users like us are the product. This allows the project to implement privacy features without worrying about harming advertising partners or revenue streams.
As of now, the project has hired several developers with money coming from donations, from partners such as FUTO, Shopify, Cloudflare, among many, and is also seeing lots of volunteer activity on github. So well, if you like the web having more diversity and us having another alternative to google, check them out https://ladybird.org/

Hello deck-ers, this guide walks you through installing Waydroid, a tool to run Android apps on your Steam Deck. Links are included below for troubleshooting and updates. Enjoy ;)
Step 1: Set Up a Password
Your Steam Deck’s terminal (Konsole) will ask for a password during installation. If you haven’t set one yet:
- Switch to Desktop Mode and open the Konsole app (found in the taskbar or applications menu).
- Type
passwdand press Enter.- Create a password. For simplicity, a 4-digit code like
9876works, but use something stronger if security matters to you, (as it should).
- Note: The password won’t show as you type, this is not a bug.
- Re-enter the password when prompted to confirm.
Why? This password grants temporary "sudo" access to install software.
Step 2: Install Waydroid
Prerequisite: Ensure your Steam Deck is connected to the internet.
Open Konsole (still in Desktop Mode).
Copy and paste these commands one by one, waiting for each to finish:
Command 1 – Download the Installer:
cd ~/ && git clone https://github.com/ryanrudolfoba/steamos-waydroid-installerThis downloads the necessary files to your home folder.
Command 2 – Run the Installer:
cd ~/steamos-waydroid-installer && chmod +x steamos-waydroid-installer.sh && ./steamos-waydroid-installer.shThis makes the script executable and starts the installation.
Wait for the magic to happen!
- The installer sets up Waydroid and applies custom configurations.
- Installation takes ~5 minutes (varies with internet speed).
- When finished, close Konsole and return to Game Mode.
Step 3: Launch Waydroid
- In Game Mode, navigate to your Library > Non-Steam Games.
- Find and launch the script named Android_Waydroid_Cage.sh.
- Waydroid will boot, give it a moment to initialize.
Need to Uninstall?
- Back in Desktop Mode, open Konsole.
- Paste these commands:
This removes Waydroid and its files.cd ~/Android_Waydroid && ./uninstall.sh
Troubleshooting & Tips
- Issues? Check the official GitHub for known bugs, compatibility notes, and updates.
- Keyboard/Mouse Not Working? Some users report needing a Bluetooth or USB input device for setup.
- Performance: Close background apps in Desktop Mode and try again, otherwise I recommend checking opened issues over on github.
Enjoy your Android apps on Steam Deck! 🎮
