How do you have dark mode? The latest Windows version (1.26) does not have a dark mode option.

Admit to something worse than what the inquisitor is looking for, something bad enough to disgust and discourage further prying.

Hence the anime in the outer volume 😂

I use Mounty on MacOS to mount NTFS drives as read-write, it's a frontend tray icon GUI for NTFS-3g. it also seems to be the least fishy simple way of mounting NTFS.
so yea it's not a huge pain to get NTFS veracrypt, and it seems to be the only way to get expanding drive containers if you want that. you do need to make the NTFS volume within windows or linux beforehand though.

Adding something like a yubikey with this feels pretty nice. It would be nicer if it was fido2 a password but…..yeah

Veracrypt sucks because they force you to write the whole drive everytime you reformat the disk. Imagine this with expensive SSDs.

Like I do not need protection from government spies. Nor do I need "plausible deniability". I need protection from my laptop getting stolen by a random theif.

Use LUKS instead, it will be be cross platform but far better. Or if you really want cross platform, use the interior Bitlocker, which can be read by Linux too.
