I am shocked by this - the quote in below is very concerning:
“However, in 2024, the situation changed: balenaEtcher started sharing the file name of the image and the model of the USB stick with the Balena company and possibly with third parties.”
Can’t see myself using this software anymore…

Use dd, or check out the Fedora Media Writer if you want a GUI tool.
Etcher was a good piece of software. As soon as Balena bought it and stuffed their name in front, things started going south. I wish the weird name and shift to an unintuitive icon were the only things that had happened…
There are like a dozen other ways to do what Etcher does so… 🤷
Isn’t Balena’s entire business model taking things that could easily run locally and wedging a cloud dependency in to allow them to be profitably enshittified?
What’s the point of including KeePass in Tails if it’s effectively wiped on reboot? Am I misunderstanding?
I’m sure you could mount an encrypted volume.
Or just have the keepas db on a usb stick or somethingYou can enable a persistent volume on the start up screen or use it where it wipes on reboot.
