I only use Indeed.com so that my info is only siphoned from one place. I feel like they have good listings and they have options to hide some of your info from employers and random observers. Avoid linkedin at all costs, having a profile has gotten me zero benefits and it is an extreme pain deleting your account.

You can also take steps to protect your contact info, specifically your email/phone/address. I only put the city I'm from on my resume and you can use email masks or alts like firefox relay or protonmail plus, or just make a separate email only for work. For phone numbers I use JMP.chat to give me a second number to use solely for work and Indeed.

In the end a lot of your work info is gonna be pseudo-public, because you do need to convince prospective employers of who you are, but you can control the sphere of that information to keep it confined. Imo, having a stable job is worth that trade; you don't have to do a deep dive into your personality or personal life to get a job. Just enough to be convincing

I second CalyxOS, been using it for about a year now and I think it's a good compromise between privacy and convenience. Is it the absolute most secure and private? Maybe not, but my threat model is low and I don't mind trading a little bit of privacy for a bit of ease of use.

My favorite console has got to be the original Xbox. I would play it all day when I was younger and to this day I still use it because emulation is iffy for a lot of titles. Games from that era from like 1999 to 2006 hit home for me and I love replaying the greats like Knights of the Old Republic, Halo 2, and 007 Nightfire.

For everything else I do a lot of steam gaming and emulating on my linux pc, steam deck, and mobile. I use mobile for casual, quick, or pauseable games, steam deck for games that "feel" right like racing games and old adventure games, and pc for longer gaming sessions, or mouse and keyboard games like Starcraft and Age of Empires.

It's hard to beat pc because it can litterally do everything better (except maybe portability) and you can customize it into anything, so it's definitely the objective winner, but og Xbox is still my biased favorite.

I've played most of them, and minish cap is definitely the best imo. The music, story, world, and nostalgia were all there for me. I also think LOZ was at its peak in the 2D era.

Also special mention, crossbow training for wii is C tier and LOZ CD-i is definitely A tier because Morshu
