First, I'll reiterate: I appreciate that you're trying to ship Tails on these computers. Thank you! Now, let's take a step back. This thread started with you essentially asking essentially "is it safe to ship this modified Tails and its home-made upgrade system?". So far the discussion has been: 1. answering "it could probably be made safe if you do this and that, but in the current state of things, it's not OK to call this Tails". But quite some bits of "this and that" are not implemented. 2. asking you more info that I need to answer your question meaningfully. Some of the first batch of questions I've asked in October have not been answered yet. Since installing and running Tails on an internal hard drive is not supported yet, safely ship something that can be called "Tails" on these computers requires non-trivial software development, UX design and tech writing work, and only so the basics are covered and users' expectations match what you're actually providing (not even aiming at providing a full-fledged Tails experience). I'll be honest with you: at this point of the process, I'm not confident at all that you'll manage to find/allocate the resources needed to do all this work. And I don't think it makes sense for Tails, as a project, to invest much in doing this work ourselves. I'd much rather see us work on making "installing and running Tails on an internal hard drive" a first-class citizen: it would benefit much more people. I don't expect this will happen shortly but it's good to know that it would address most of the issues identified in the course of this conversation. So I would like to ask you to reconsider whether you are in a position to get all the needed custom work done. And if not, it would be much better to stop shipping something-like-Tails-but-not-quite-but-that-still-pretends-to-be-Tails on the internal hard drive. The good news is that there are many other, much simpler & cheaper, ways to let your clients know about Tails and more general privacy issues, for example: - include a flyer promoting Tails and/or Tails stickers in the box when you ship a computer - give the default browser a home page explaining that private browsing mode / incognito tabs are not that incognito, and pointing to our website - add a bookmark to our website in the default browser configuration … and I'm sure a quick collective brainstorming would find many more ideas :) Cheers, -- intrigeri _______________________________________________ Tails-dev mailing list Tails-dev@boum.org https://www.autistici.org/mailman/listinfo/tails-dev To unsubscribe from this list, send an empty email to tails-dev-unsubscr...@boum.org.
