Paul Graham complaining about societal accountability sounds a lot like a tech investor blaming users when their startup crashes and burns. “The market was just too woke for my brilliant idea!” Maybe the next essay should be titled "What You Can’t Fund Without a Backup Plan." In the startup world, if things go tits up, it’s on you—the same way words and ideas have consequences in public discourse. Play the game, take the risks, and own the fallout big man.
QubesOS was my main driver for a couple of years, but I have to say that the low battery life compared to only software rendering got pretty annoying after a while. Depending on the hardware, you'll need to possibly disable certain options in the BIOS/UEFI, like for an t490 that I documented: https://groups.google.com/g/qubes-users/c/Z0Kfm53zMxQ/m/IV-A...
The only serious alternative to Qubes from a security perspective is to use multiple computers.
That alternative presumably has better security, but also generally worse usability (particularly if you're going to be mobile! -- two laptops in your bag might be acceptable but comparable isolation would require more than two).
I like how deep the rabbit hole goes on pauperhosting. The accidentally included admin panel with leaked customer db, the VPS demo, everything. I'm pretty sure I haven't even discovered half of it yet.
Almost all the customer names in that excel file are taken from "huilende rappers - waddepjedangedaan", on a joke rap album by drum and bass legends noisia. It's all in Dutch... but the made up names are so incredibly funny that i use them for dummy data everywhere.
