I will not be participating in any website or wiki of this type if people with zero qualifications are allowed to provide "advice". What does "zero qualification" means and what does "advice" stands for? It's not about advicing (advice to me means: I know something better then someone else or at least I feel knowledgeable enough to tell other people what they should do). There are quite a lot of people on this list giving literally dangerous advice or telling people not to bother with increasing their security with libre software/hardware because of vague theoretical backdoors... If so, those users should be given constructive feedback and guidance. Keep in mind that those "users" are still more likely to listen than the "average" user, who has no interest in privacy at all. I believe the minimum of qualifications should be having at least one owner controlled motherboard with coreboot/libreboot/OpenPOWER firmware. I don't see how qualification is "certified" by running Coreboot/Libreboot? I am running coreboot does this qualifies me? Keep also in mind that there might be users who need to run recent hardware or hardware that are not on the Coreboot Hardware Compatibility List (HCL). As a starter rule I would also say that people who have gmail/microsoft accounts should not be allowed to comment at all because they probably have no idea what they are doing[1]. Writing from my Googlemail address which is only there for Qubes+Coreboot Mailinglist because Protonmail doesn't offer IMAP: Not using Google doesn't make someone superior, and even if you are right that there are reasons not (!) to use Google for personal E-Mails: If you don't allow them to comment,there is no possibility for a discussion and convincing them to try something different. And if so, then Qubes should not run this Google group/Mailinglist ;-) [799] -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
