Your Weekly Privacy & Security Wins 🏆 (Week 47 - Mar 20 2025)

  • Since last week my mom has continued to use DuckDuckGo instead of Google for her searches, saying that she feels kind of used to it now.
  • Ardour, which I’ve concluded is the currently leading fully open source Digital Audio Workstation, and also the most feature-packed freely available one on Linux, has continued to grow on me. This means I’m having more reason to do creative work on Linux than I did before, because there are free Ardour builds available on almost every distribution’s software store. Meanwhile it costs money on windows.
  • My more more in depth transition from Adobe Substance Designer to Material Maker (open source, free & no telemetry alternative) is still on my to-do list but during my short practice I definitely still have not found any dealbreakers!
