@Null mentioned in the OP that he doesn't know of any torrent clients on Windows that aren't loaded up with bullshit outside of qBittorrent.

Friendly reminder that Transmission has had a Windows version for a little while. Go get you one.

I use Tribler, which has built-in onion-style pseudoanonymity.

Note: as the site itself warns, this is not likely to be a perfect fix yet.
 
More custom interface skins (launchers) to plug:

>>Linux CLI Launcher


I get tired of playing with UI's beyond color and wallpaper, Plus, I can Pip Boy if I want to or not.

Are you sick of all those colorful and chaotic launchers?
Did Icons, App Drawer and Dock bother you enough?
Do you miss those times when you could do whatever you wanted with a simple command and the enter key?
Then, T-UI Launcher and its Linux-like CLI (Command Line Interface) are a must for your Device.


Features:
T-UI commands (like uninstall, open, sms, ..)
Native Android/Linux commands
aliases, use your favourites commands faster
suggestions, to help you compose your commands
tuixt, in-app text editor
• widely customizable launcher
CLI music player
• full Linux-like CLI interface


Some T-UI commands:
uninstall [app]
sms [contact] [text]
call [contact]
calc [expression]
search [google, playstore, youtube, files]
wifi
flash
share [file]
mv / cp [file] [dest]
+ many other Linux commands

Let the "lol LINUX sperg" replies commence.
 
Jesus fuck I'm having an Android emergency. Chrome and all Chrom* based browsers (like Brave) now always use a fucking white navigation bar. Always. Even on night-mode web pages. What the fuck. I'm currently using an app that literally just draws black over the navbar nut it's a laggy piece of shit. What's the solution?
 
I know some good art shit.
Not all too related but hey, its software!

Art Programs:

Medibang Paint Pro
Pros:
-Free!
-Simple aesthetic UI thats as user friendly as possible, with a slight degree of customazition
-Comes with light and dark themes
-Cloud service saving features
-Brush creator tool, multiple built in perspective tools, lots of free texts, fonts, materials, ect.
-Amazing smoothing, antialiasing and customizable correction.
Cons:
-The program is quite simple and lacks some deeper complexities that others may offer
-You need to make an account for some features

Krita
Pros:
-Free!
-Open source
-Customizable UI
-Supports photoshop files and brushes
-Constantly updated with new experimental features
-Complicated, but offers a greater depth and far better tools than other competitors
Cons:
-UI is very busy and ugly looking
-Brush display is confusing
-Lacks documentation

MISC:
PaintsChainer: A website that uses neural-networks to color photos for you. For when you're too damn lazy to do it yourself. Also comes with a good lineart tool.
Waifux2: Amazing at upscaling art with little to no worsening Also web based.


I love going through the web and hoarding obscure websites, so I often stumble upon shit.

Maybe it was just me but Krita and Medibang would always give me problems (moreso Krita). I ended up torrenting Paint Tool Sai instead lul.

On another note, I believe the old version of Medibang is still available, FireAlpaca. Dunno how much different it is.

Also Inkscape is a free Illustrator-like vector drawing program. https://inkscape.org/en/

Firealpaca is Medibang without some of the fancier features, BUT, it does come with built in animation tools unlike Medibang. Firealpaca ended turning into Cloudalpaca which became Medibang. It's still very possible to animate in Medibang paint pro if you know what you're doing however.

Has anyone here used either Perfect Privacy or NordVPN? If so, how do they stack against PIA? Reviews tend to favor them over it, but I'd like to get some actual people's opinions.
 
PIA is too popular for its own good at this point. NordVPN is what Lowtax suggests.

I like their app, but they're definitely experiencing performance issues from time to time. Also the more popular something is, the more likely it is to get negative attention. I have even found it blocked on occasion. Every time that has happened, though, I can connect with tor after PIA, so great.

Anyone have an opinion on AirVPN? It seems to be more customizable with advanced options others don't have. Also accepting cryptocurrency is nearly a must for this kind of thing.

Can anyone tell me what's their opinion on the best Chromium-based browser? Node needs Chrome or a Chromium-based browser for debugging, I believe, so I want to install one.
 
Brave. There are other privacy oriented Chromium forks like Iridium which IIRC work on Windows.

I'll give Brave a try. Already have it on mobile, and it's the shit.

Giving it a shot. How fast is it, if it's doing the anonymity over Onion-like routing?

I also use Neovim over Vim because it's simply faster. YouCompleteMe is the best/fastest C++ completion plugin I've found, it does everything else too, but C++ is especially hard to do intelligent completion. I should mention that the Windows QT client is nice, and supports copy+paste clipboard stuff, you can drag files onto it, it doesn't feel like a weird POSIX hack: https://neovim.io/
if has("win16") || has("win32")
call plug#begin('~\AppData\Local\nvim\plugged')
Plug 'Shougo/deoplete.nvim', { 'do': ':UpdateRemotePlugins' }
else
call plug#begin('~/.local/share/nvim/plugged')
Plug 'Valloric/YouCompleteMe'
Plug 'neomake/neomake'
endif
Plug 'kien/ctrlp.vim'
Plug 'tomasr/molokai'
Plug 'airblade/vim-gitgutter'
Plug 'tpope/vim-fugitive'
Plug 'scrooloose/nerdcommenter'
Plug 'majutsushi/tagbar'
Plug 'itchyny/lightline.vim'
Plug 'raimondi/delimitmate'
Plug 'octol/vim-cpp-enhanced-highlight'
Plug 'ntpeters/vim-better-whitespace'
call plug#end()
I've switched from Neovim to pre-customized emacs init targeted towards vim users. The reason for switching is I wanted more IDE-like features for C++ programming and vim plugins in general are less comprehensive than emacs (probably due to emacs being a glorified interpreter). If you know how to use vim, evil-mode lets you completely bypass needing to learn keybinds. It's called doom emacs, check it out, the developer seems to work on it daily: https://github.com/hlissner/doom-emacs

I still use Neovim for non-programming work since it is faster than emacs.

PS. everyone should be using DNScrypt https://github.com/jedisct1/dnscrypt-proxy
