So if you dont use free software and live in France, bye bye any and all digital privacy?

Concerns with other instances policies for new signups, their reasoning was to avoid spam / bots.
If accurate, this is awesome!
EDIT: Couldn't another solution be allowing users to block entire instances, i.e. block Threads? That way even users using an instance federating with threads would have a choice. Not a solution on a large scale, but could be useful.
I dont know what you mean by KeePass being partially Windows only, as KeePass clients exist on MacOS, Linux, iOS and Android.
If you're willing to use a cloud-based solution, why do you have trepidation about Bitwarden (open source, great track record, standalone service) and not Proton Pass (also open source, and Proton has a great reputation for account security, but adding your password database to the same account you use for email, drive, vpn, and calendar, which is putting all your eggs in one basket IMO.
If you have trepidation trusting the security of your passwords to someone else, use KeePass.
Also lock your SIM with a passcode!
I disagree, at least in terms of open source solutions. Assuming Bitwarden isn't altering their server implementation without telling anyone, it is basically impossible for them to be hacked in the way you're thinking, as the servers do not hold any decrypted vault data. If the service is propreitary, you cannot trust that they are encrypting all contents before reaching their server.
Even a full plaintext master database password breach shouldn't affect a competant user, as you should obviously be using 2FA with a cloud password manager.
And even if your master password and bitwarden 2fa leaked and someone gained access to your vault, any accounts with 2FA enabled (so long as you aren't keeping 2FA keys in Bitwarden, please dont do that. [The same applies to KeePass]) can't be compromised without your second factor.
It is an absolute necessity if you use a computer. If you dont have a password manager your accounts are not secure, unless you can memorize randomized passwords. I personally don't like the idea of my most sensitive file (password database), being on someone elses computer. I use KeePassXC to mitigate this, but if you want cloud sync I recommend Bitwarden.
No problem! Pop! is a great distro, and if you end up really loving it you could go for a System76 laptop at some point in the future, because S76 makes Pop! it integrates really nicely with their laptops.
We never stop learning!
I would use Briar if it had an iOS app, i dont consider any messenger that is android-only a real option for my main messenger.
Of course. Thinking otherwise (Unless youre delusional and self-obsessed enough to be religiously zionist), would be pure hipocrasy.
