so i am right and you are wrong. linux from SCRATCH you are a joke.

i took it as dumb worthless feedback, that's why I tried to tell you how you can make it constructive on your next try if you actually know anything.

so how much mitigations? I've heard 0. do you know? 1 mitigation? 2?

If you think its wrong then show it. Show where I can get the source code and build instructions to build my own debian image.

I clearly said if i'm not sure about something. I takes time to do research if you can do better than go ahead and show us what you know. If you think something I said is wrong then please make a constructive reply and tell us all how it really is.

And QubesOS isnt based on linux kernel. It uses Xen. Linux is used in the Qubes aka VMs.

More crypto discussions in general and I don't mean cryptography. I think because of those topics being almost dead here, it would be good to just have 1 crypto community instead of having different communities for every different blockchain/topic. Or maybe 2 communities to seperate shilling and speculating price from technological and political crypto discussions.

I meant communities. I just mixed the words up

I dont think its so active at least not topics i'm most interested in. Privacy has only one lemmy instance that is active. Security has only 1 instance but no one ever discusses there, it's just sharing Security news and 0 comments. Talk about crypto is pretty much completely dead as well which is strange.

Be careful not to say anything positive about luigi because you're certainly going to end up on a priority list of people they are going to keep a lot of surveillance on. It's true, feds are terrified of people who seem inspired by things like this. If you say something really really nice about Luigi, the feds might even send you one of their female undercover agents to be your girlfriend for a while and spy on you.

OP is wrong about firmware. linux-firmware package is not about mitigating firmware vulnerabilities. It's just blobs for things like nvidia and other stuff. I don't know if Linux has firmware vulnerability mitigation but if it doesn't then QubesOS is much better because it does prevent a lot of the vulnerabilities by disabling hyperthreading.

they also make extreme examples of anyone threatening to "blow it up", show the public all the corruption and give freedom to the people. Edward Snowden is an example. Also recently Roman Storm the Tornado Cash dev. These extreme attacks from the government are meant to cause fear so no one dares to do anything like that again.

i forgot about that reason. That's true I think some people have that as their motive. They are probably thinking that it's best to not let the beginners know that vpn doesn't do much on its own or that brave doesn't actually stop all tracking and won't necessarily give you a non-unique fingerprint etc. They want to make it look easy to get privacy because if they make it look hard that these simple beginner steps aren't enough then they won't even get started and give up.

I think it's a wrong mindset to have. I don't think those types of people who give up if they realize privacy isn't a one click solution are the target audience for privacy. We want the people who can actually spend some time to learn and put in some effort because if they can't do that then they probably don't care that much about privacy to begin with.

But its just my opinion not a fact.

You are right but I think most people would in hindsight say they wished the did more to protect their computer when shit happens. It's like a camera, you can buy a cheap camera meant to be used for a vacation then thrown away and it's not worth much but the pictures you have taken are worth a lot as in semantic value, memories you want to keep.

In someones computer they have their entire digital life. Work, personal life, social life, all kinds of data, pictures, banking, investments, crypto, etc. All that is priceless. That's why ransomware viruses are so effective, people will pay and do anything to get their data back and they all wished they had just done some simple backups and from then on they will probably spend effort on security.

yeah the elites who run the world have limitless money for the lobbying. I don't think it's possible to win this war on their turf under their rigged rules. Revolution is the only way but I don't think that's a realistic possibility neither. They have so many ways to divide and conquer.

problem is getting everyone to do revolution at the same time. That's one of the purposes of mass surveillance, they can detect the early beginnings of organization and send them to prison before it grows into a big snowball.
