Where do you think the money for the free gibs came from? Billionaire divorcee feminists among others.
Shake down a "grassroots activist orgnaization" and a billionaire or 2 will drop out from the high leaves. this has been going on even before the 1870's when the Vanderbilts funded 1st wave feminism and Social Justice organizations.
@basedbagel @I_AmTheKnight @southpole21
Say what you mean, minorities == blacks. But in real life it simply means black women, since employers get the double points.
Case in point, Goldman Sachs started an initiative that will see them spending $10B over 10 years to get black women quota'd into high-paying jobs. Not black men.
The same with Melinda Gates & Mackenzie Bezos, billionaire divorcees committed to ending meritocracy by dumping billions into feminist causes at the expense of men.
@basedbagel @I_AmTheKnight @southpole21
I just don't want them taking jobs away from men who head their households, from them abdicating their responsibilities as mothers by paying someone else to raise their own children, and by fouling up the workplace with their fucking drama, sexual affairs and shit-stirring.
@basedbagel @I_AmTheKnight @southpole21
My reasons for getting women out of the workforce have nothing to do with meritocracy, since that comes for free as soon you make the workforce male again. Merit is how we men naturally self-organize.
Nor am I against women working as a 2nd priority after motherhood, or for their families/male relatives if they are too old for motherhood.
I don't even mind changing laws to protect against them being finanically vulnerable.
once again, i find myself in the minority.
I'm not a fan of women in the workforce. Let them assist their husbands and male relatives after child-rearing, or start their own businesses, but leave the workforce to men.
Women's entry into the workforce has been nothing but disastrous on multiple fronts. It's helped destroy the nuclear family, increased divorce rates, doubled the tax base, deflated wages, created dysfunctional children and helped kill communities.

So to run your vm I recommend virtual box.
Then get linux mint from here:https://linuxmint.com/download.php
Then I would just take a free course on youtube for the basics and you're off to the races!
@FinalDresdonation @basedbagel @dander
But if you're new to linux then QubesOS is not really the best option. Probably go with bagel's suggestion and go with Mint/Ubuntu.
@FinalDresdonation @basedbagel @dander
The Qubes site publishes a Hardware Compatibility List for those looking for hardware to use.
Thinkpads are always reliable but there's many others too.
Also, there's a forum where you can chat with more experienced users if you're looking for help.

QubesOS is an almost perfect match for me, fluid and efficient.
Also, there's the trilemna of speed, quantity, quality - pick 2 and pick well since you can't have all 3.
Latest and greatest kernels yes. Plus I perform the odd hardware mod, flashing chips etc..
Also you can't run QubesOS on Mac hardware.
There really is nothing about a Mac that could entice me, their comparitive security/privacy is disgraceful.
Give kids a raspberry pi and they're happy. They can literally see everything that makes a computer work in the palm of their hand.
And once they connect it up, they can fire up the pre-installed version of minecraft and off they go.
The exact same. I have had people over 60 and kids under 8 using linux with zero issues.
I'm regularly running 10+ concurrent VMs on my very old linux laptop with no issue. There's simply no use case for me in using an M1 and my security and privacy is way better, both from a hardware and software stance.
People tend to have this irrational fear of linux and it's difficulty and it's all a myth.
For years now, the installers have made things so easy it's a cakewalk. Your granny could literally use Debian/Ubuntu without ever opening up a terminal window, ever.
Simpler than Mac for normie users.
Of course, it's way more fun when you start using terminal.
I'll pass on the M1. I've seen too many people paying the early adoption price of waiting for hardware patches/upgrades, incompatible software and exotic workarounds.
These things get resolved over time, but that's what you get for taking on 1st gen hardware.
Also for the same price of an M1, my work laptop can use 32Gb RAM whereas that's only possible on the pricier M1 Pro.
I throw Windows in there because it's still the required OS for the majority of professional work. My use of Windows for at least the last decade has been strictly professional.
Personally, my daily driver for years has been linux; debian, fedora, kali and a few others - these are my goto's. Not ubuntu.
Security is better on Mac than Windows but both equally suck for privacy.
Makes superficial sense, but it doesn't bear closer scrutiny.
There's nothing you can't do on Mac that someone isn't already successfully doing in linux. And most likely on actively developed FOSS, though that doesn't have to be the case.
On the flipside, PC + gaming. And since WSL2 on Windows 10/11 runs most linux distros + docker, I have found almost no reason over the last few years to fire up the iMac.
Also Mac security/privacy is a disgrace.

@37712 Sure! It's taught by the creator of power-shell himself!
