not_a_real_56

Just wanted to chime in, I have been using Kagi for a long time now and it's been the best change of life. If I am on another computer and I accidently google something, I cannot even believe the amount of sponsored links and shit at the top. I will be a happy Kagi user for a long time! (assuming they don't change it to much!)

Thanks for the link, reading it now. :)

I get the point of Qubes. What I am saying is that it doesn't work for my use case and if anyone had a better way of doing it. The solution of running every application inside a VM for security is nice, but also extremely resource intensive on CPU and RAM requirements and do not make the OS ideal for a laptop. Unless you have a pretty maxed out laptop in terms of specs.

While you could argue VM are more secure, other security tools like BSD Jails or containers could offer a similar level of security for a fraction of the resources that QubesOS uses.

And if I am really being honest, not many people need that level of security as the main goal of Qubes is to prevent a system compromise, but most people have cell phones, cloud accounts, and are getting their uses names and passwords leaked through security breaches all the time, something that Qubes cannot prevent.

I might be in the minority here, but I haven't fallen in love with Qubes. Or I should say, my use case doesn't work with Qubes and that is generally laptop computing where I am taking my laptop to and from work, to and from school, etc. I felt like the sleep/wake functions were non-existent. Also, my laptop only has 16GB of RAM. Qubes seems to be great if you have a decently powerful desktop pushing several cores and at least 32GB of RAM if you actually want to have multiple VMs up a time.

I love the concept, maybe it would be better if instead of VMs it moved to containers? It would probably be less secure, but be a better use case for laptops.

Can anyone comment on that? Did I do something wrong?

I do not agree with the ban, but I would like to provide some context as a Flipper Zero (F0) owner and someone who is in several F0 communities and have used a few different firmware besides the official one.

There are a lot of younger kids in the community who have the F0 and are just looking to cause havoc. Joining these communities and looking for the jamming files and want to open every Tesla charging port they come across. Or when the device gained the Bluetooth spamming capability, people wanted to use that everywhere.

Normally these people are promptly dismissed or kicked from the server, but it is a constant influx of these people.

There are plenty of people who use the F0 properly either for work and just learning about signals, or a multitool making their day a little easier. And plenty of new features are coming out every few weeks from the amazing unofficial firmware developers.

I think the question, instead of banning devices, should be to make sure we are teaching people strong morals and that there are possible consequences to their actions.

Right? I searched for "Town of Salem" on my android phone yesterday and it was the third result, the exact name. The top two results were some other games, maybe sponsored ad spots?

Either way, its the same with a lot of these companies, looking for more and more places they could companies to pay to get their information first. Just like Google search results, I've seen the first 3-5 links being sponsored spots, that's like half the page and you have to scroll to get to real search results!

I am glad I switched to Kagi as my search engine. Sadly, until we start paying for these services we will be the product.

How does the app know if you are driving or the passenger in a vehicle?

There is a flaw with your thinking. Any given year there are only 5-6 iPhones to choose from, where there are plenty of Android phones. This leads to "top phone sold" being iPhones because it is 5 phones against hundreds of Android phones that people get to choose from.

You should instead look at Market share. https://www.statista.com/statistics/272698/global-market-sha...
