Thanks, exactly what I wanted to know. This explains a lot.
There had to be some reasoning behind it after all.
So the email and username have no cryptographic purpose, they are just there for convenience.
Thanks I guess...
So the email and name will be plaintext in the public key/signatures?
memorable link to the public key’s owner.
Ok, just strange how the key generator insists on specifying them. Encryption usually doesn't like extra metadata.
From my knowledge VPNs hide your IP from the destination, and the destination from your ISP.
Fingerprinting is mostly about the browser you use.
For VPN any VPN should do (eg. Mullvad VPN $5/month) and for Browser just have a non-big tech browser with ad-blockers and tracking protection (eg. Mullvad Browser or other Firefox/fork with good config).
Or Tor
Also, how serious is the "not getting tracked" need? It sounds like you are getting hunted by the social media site? Wouldn't that need full OPSEC mode with Tails and Whonix like the real darknet hackers?
For the VM, I can't help you much. There should be tones of cloud hosting providers out there, just a Linux VM on another guy's computer after all.
PS: I am a newbie just repeating stuff I heard before like a parrot.
Some random notes app on F-droid probably has what you need. (Notes apps because "Diary" gives mostly medical/habit trackers/loggers)
Also check IzzyOnDroid repo (select "Writing" category or just search for "Diary"), it has more "modern" apps in my impression.
You will need to scroll through quite a few to find one you like. Just don't get yourself into choice dilemma, pick one that looks decent and start using it.

Can someone please explain why PGP is needs all of these? All explanations of public key encryption mention any email embedded emails.
And I probably don't completely understand what PGP is, so please give me a good article or video on it.
How to tell someone is reading Sapiens.
Still, insane that "science/technology improvements" did not improve happienes at all. Just shifted the standards.

I think it would be valuable to read for people here, especially newbies and "privacy bros" to understand how privacy (anonymity) actually works.
> Given a perfect weapon, can you commit a perfect crime?
The answer is surprisingly close to no.
> Everything you do bleeds information.
A perfect crime is one that wasn't even noticed. If a perfect crime gets noticed it immediately reveals the following: you are smart and you have the knowledge and weapons to commit a perfect crime, and in a murder you must have had a motive, instantly ruling out 99% of the human population.
On the web you can be tracked using almost anything: browser window size, word choice, times you are online, internet connection delay, negative qualities like not giving your language will exclude the majority of people who do.
In fact, just this post alone is sufficient to narrow me down to less than a million (maybe even a few thousand) people.
Edit: This is actually about anonymity, privacy is slightly different, but I think this is still relevant to privacy.
How on earth do you have to measure for Brave to be more private than Tor?

bicilists drive way faster on the roads, so this metric should be deaths per km/h. And there are a few more stistical biases that might be at play here.
I drive on the sidewalk and behave like a pedestrian. I probably should have known about the traffic codes you are talking about, but this has nothing to do with bikes, he shows it to everybody including other people who are trying to cross. What concerns me them most, is that those traffic guards, break the habit of actually seeing if there are cars around, meaning I am actually less safe when they aren't there.
When I take my bike to school, there are those "School Crossing Guards." One of them guards a 2 line drive in.
This man uses his STOP sign on pedestrians. Here I am cycling, this guy holds his STOP sign up high so I am like "ok, I can go right across at full speed without breaking or slowing down." turns out no, what he actually meant was that all pedestrians (up to 5 people sometimes) should stop and the car should drive. 50% of the time in the car is a friend of his who stops in the middle of the crosswalk and starts chatting. I look and this and go like "my classes start in 10 minutes, so I am crossing." They both, he and his friend look at me like I am some self harm guy jumping under a car, and start shouting at me like why I am going when the STOP sign is up.
This is seriously getting out of hand.
PS: I drive my bike on the sidewalk.
If the south had problems with lack of infrastructure, why didn't they just use the underground railroad?
Mullvad and LibreWolf are better than Brave, jokes on you.
I use links btw.
I don't watch TV shows (idek what they are)
I always confuse my father and my younger sister. They are both slow and are both 🐘.
Make posters like these and spread it to parents in your community, I think this will have a lot of impact.
