LibreWolf doesn’t work to give you a non-unique fingerprint. Use Mullvad Browser for that (without changing anything other than the safety level).
Don’t use a VPN with Tails. You could try something like https://github.com/PJ-Singh-001/Cubic to roll your own custom Ubuntu ISO, or you can just install another Linux distro on it which is what I recommend. Don’t forget to enable disk encryption because you can’t reliably wipe data from flash storage.
The person here wasn’t mad about Proton charging money. They were mad that when they signed up to the service and entrusted login information to Proton it was not a restricted feature, but now Proton has started to request money for it and they can’t get access to it again.
Not to mention this person is already a paying customer, they just don’t pay the 13 dollars Proton started requesting to store a couple bytes of data, or at the very least provide temporary access for backup.
It’s a post criticising a popular privacy-focused company. Some people in this community may want to avoid this company’s products if they know about stuff like this happening. What the fuck is the problem here exactly?
What do you mean? Mastodon.social is extremely critical of Israel. What exactly did you say to get yourself banned?
First-party stuff from your system package manager (things you install from the official repos with APT) are pretty much guaranteed to be safe. But the Snap Store (which uses snaps instead of flatpaks and is not installed by default on Debian) has unknowingly allowed and distributed malicious apps before. Flathub with flatpaks (which I think is enabled by default on Debian) hasn’t had such issues to this day AFAIK, but I would still be skeptical of stuff I install from there, and just not install apps with the Unverified badge on Flathub.
In the case of flatpaks, Flathub shows what permissions an app requests and gives it a kind of arbitrary safety level on its page:

You can also use Flatseal to disallow any flatpak app from having certain permissions that you think it doesn’t deserve having.
