Earphones focused on privacy.

If you want to be 100% sure no data is being collected by your headphones your nest bet is going to be going back to wired. I assume that is not an answer you want but anything that uses a Bluetooth connection can be used as a vector to collect data on you. The only thing I can think of is either having your data off while using them, but that's probably just postponing the data collection. Do you have a source on what data is being collected? Would be much easier to find places you can help reduce the amount of data being collected.

Valve releases drivers, notes to make Windows work on Steam hardware, but refuses to support it - doesn’t offer support for ‘Windows on Steam Hardware,’ gaming company provides resources ‘as is’

Reply in thread

Per the article:

But because many anti-cheat apps still aren’t compatible with Linux (hence, SteamOS), installing Windows on Steam hardware is currently the only way that gamers can enjoy titles that require them.

So it looks like Valve is at least giving tools for running Windows on their hardware for those that really really want that kernel level malware, I mean anti-cheat, to play a certain game.

Anon follows orders

Honestly with how late it happened I can totally see this being the case for some people. The military trains you to follow orders without question, and being woken up in the middle of you sleeping only dampens your critical thinking skills.

Eww

Man I'm glad I started shaving my head when I did. For anyone out there also dealing with going bald, fully committing usually looks better than pretending it's not happening.

Seriously, Why GIMP Dev(s), Why??

Maybe get in the habit of calling it by it's full name initially. Then it seems like an unfortunate acronym instead of a software made by perverts. Note I'm fairly certain most software is made by perverts, and I'm including myself in that group.
