 Babba27's Evil Twin [ze/hir|she/her|they/them] (Migrated -> @babba27:anonymousplanet.net) | The idea that Qubes is only for supervillains is one of the pervasive beliefs that undermines the safety of Qubes users | 22:15:07 |
| Babba27's Evil Twin [ze/hir|she/her|they/them] (Migrated -> @babba27:anonymousplanet.net) | We should be trying to normalize security, so that the mere fact of using Qubes doesn't end up sufficient justification for search or arrest warrants | 22:16:23 |

you missed biometric and captcha based fingerprinting That's not fingerprinting, it's profiling | 22:17:37 |

You don't need to be a supervillain to use Qubes. You just need to take security seriously Hell, criminals aren't even Qubes' intended userbase. Qubes is far more oriented toward sysadmins, journalists, activists, minorities, etc. People who get targeted because of their job, their identity, or their efforts to share accurate and truthful information | 22:21:18 |
| rolodondo34 | profiling? | 22:21:19 |
| rolodondo34 | criminals using which OS? | 22:22:04 |

profiling?
: the act or process of extrapolating information about a person based on known traits or tendencies
| 22:22:13 |

criminals using which OS? Realistically, only a small subset of criminals are using Linux-based systems at all. Most use Windows. Linux sees more use among hackers, who are by definition tech-inclined. Even then, it's rare to find them using Qubes | 22:23:30 |
| Babba27's Evil Twin [ze/hir|she/her|they/them] (Migrated -> @babba27:anonymousplanet.net) | To know what OSs criminals are using, just look at what OSs normal people are using. With the exception of the specifically-tech-inclined, you can expect these statistics to be about the same | 22:25:12 |
| rolodondo34 | no kali? | 22:25:13 |
| Babba27's Evil Twin [ze/hir|she/her|they/them] (Migrated -> @babba27:anonymousplanet.net) | Kali is Linux-based, so it's included in that category | 22:25:30 |
| rolodondo34 | which tools on Windows? | 22:25:59 |
| Babba27's Evil Twin [ze/hir|she/her|they/them] (Migrated -> @babba27:anonymousplanet.net) | I won't answer that, because I think it's a fundamentally bad idea to use Windows if you're concerned about the police trying to find you | 22:26:50 |

The idea that Qubes is only for supervillains is one of the pervasive beliefs that undermines the safety of Qubes users I said that in jest | 22:23:09 |
| type-iix | Heh, I actually think it's curious you said "only for supervillains," like the Penguin might use it, but not the Joker? :) | 22:23:50 |
| type-iix | I was just flabbergasted at how granular it will/would be to configure well | 22:24:42 |
| type-iix | But my threat model has made itself known. Very clearly. It's hackers. | 22:25:00 |
| type-iix | So I probably need Qubes now | 22:25:23 |
| type-iix | Or at least airgapped, cold storage, hardware wallets, YubiKey, etc. | 22:25:50 |
