> But using a multipurpose computer without qubes is unsafe at any speed, worse than driving without a seatbelt.
Could you elaborate on the odds of death and permanent disability occurring through use of unsecured general purpose computers? Because if not using qubes has the same risk profile as not wearing seatbelts I might feel like taking some measures
hah. There are computing death and dismemberment risks-- but I wouldn't expect qubes to solve one. (I'm thinking of my friends CNC router with the windows controller where windows decided mandatory upgrade time is NOW during an operation and it left an axis unsafely in motion necessitating a dive for the e-stop).
The serious point in my quip is that I've been a driver for over 30 years and yet to have a seatbelt protect me. I've been hit with computer attacks that qubes has limited. Might be kinda tricky to kill me from compromising my computer, at least today. Who knows about the computer.
