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.

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.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•The big divide in the privacy community (threat model)
·1 year agoI think it's personal for techlore regarding grapheneos because a few people in the gos community helped him in a way he felt was rude. Then techlore started making lots of bad videos about gos and then maybe he out of cope had to try see some light in google because he alienated himself from gos community. That's just my guess.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•The big divide in the privacy community (threat model)
·1 year agoYou 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.
I learned about Cloudflare mitm quickly because when you use Tor browser you will see how many websites use cloudflare because you can't access all those sites. So I did a little research about this problem about cloudflare and found out how serious and huge problem it is.
It's normal but people don't like it. Just ask the people you know if they are ok with all the mass surveillance, they don't like it. But it's just too difficult for them to do anything about it. They don't like this "small beginner steps" approach to privacy. They want complete privacy without effort or nothing at all and they don't want to pay for it. It's laughable and sad but that's my experience talking about privacy with people. But the point here i guess is that mass surveillance has been forced on us all. They create a new wonderful technology with lots of use case but then they also add in some mass surveillance on it as well as a bonus.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•Tor says it’s "still safe" amid reports of police deanonymizing users
·2 years agoDo you think it's better to use a VPN if you aren't using TOR Browser?
You can copy the part of the url watch?v=4sfIBRTcRpU and use it in the frontend you prefer.
Why not is the question and that comes down to guessing. Sheep do what they are told so don't need to guess much there. Those who are not sheep have to go through a long journey to gradually keep increasing their privacy and unlearn the sheep habits we've been conditioned to have.
The end goal is to throw away your phone because you can do everything on your computer instead including buying a phone number, using voip and take and make calls. Phones are unnecessary spy devices used by sheep.
You can buy for cents phone numbers online for one time verification purpose or even rent the number for long term if you need. It's better to use these anonymous cheap throwaway numbers if you want privacy instead of your real phone number for everything.
so how much mitigations? I've heard 0. do you know? 1 mitigation? 2?
