Top-level
@cyberlyra When I am only away from home for a few hours, or even for a weekend, I normally don't have any internet capable device at all. When I am at a crowded venue and need to frequently coordinate with a group, I bring cheap handheld analog radios for the group. On extended trips, I carry a 10" GPD Win Max 2 laptop running QubesOS in a leg-bag on my side so I avoid needing a backpack. 4 comments
@tasket @cyberlyra I documented it! https://gist.github.com/lrvick/ca754ddfd8d4201d9cac793fc97b3754 Qubes 4.2 should avoid these problems entirely though, but I have not tried a fresh install with it yet. @cyberlyra Also no need for a phone at home. All common areas in my home have a TV, with an attached communal mini-pc with a small keyboard-remote and a browser. No one has a good excuse to isolate themselves in a device just to fact check or research something on a phone, and end up tuning out the group by being sucked into notifications. If you want a device for something you don't want to do in front of the group, then leave the room and don't pretend to be present when you are not. @cyberlyra In general my view of phones is that they are like toilets. Most people probably don't want to watch you using one. When someone pulls out a phone at a dinner table, in my head they are just taking a shit in front of everyone. Kind of a conversation killer. I like to remove all excuses for that to happen, and be present in the real world when I am not at my desk. |

@lrvick @cyberlyra Recognition that regular mobile devices really aren't safe (briefly, they were when Blackberries used QNX).
How smooth was the Qubes install on the GPD?
