Why we have so many android ones. What's special about Damus?
Qubes OS 4.3.0 has officially landed—and it looks awesome. Big step forward for privacy and security through isolation and compartmentalization.
Time to upgrade.

Release notes:
https://doc.qubes-os.org/en/latest/developer/releases/4_3/release-notes.html
Main improvements (from the 4.3 release notes):
Core upgrades
• dom0 upgraded to Fedora 41
• Xen upgraded to 4.19
• Default templates upgraded: Fedora 42, Debian 13, Whonix 18 (with older minimum-supported versions enforced)
• Preloaded disposables for faster DisposableVM startup
• New Devices API (“self-identity oriented” device assignment)
• Qubes Windows Tools (QWT) reintroduced with improved features
UI/UX polish
• New device workflow built around the new Devices API, plus a dedicated Device Assignments page and a redesigned Devices widget

• Qube Manager cleanup (far-left icons removed)
• Application icons now show in VM Settings
• Option to add the Qubes video companion to the AppMenu
• Better AppMenu keyboard navigation
• Clearer updater wording/settings
• Centralized tray notifications
• Quick-launch root terminal or console terminal from the Domains widget
• Global Config improvements (deep-link to sections, plus a “Saving changes...” dialog)
GUI daemon/agent improvements
• Configurable GUI daemon background color (nice for dark themes)
• Audio daemon won’t connect to recording streams unless recording is explicitly enabled
• Legacy X11 app icons display properly
• Virtual pointing device labeled as absolute (not relative)
• Better global clipboard notifications, plus configurable clipboard size
• Better support for Windows qubes on systems using sys-gui*
Hardware support improvements
• Better support for Advanced Format (4K sector) drives
• Device assignments use full PCI paths instead of bus/slot/function
• Filter input devices with udev rules
• Fixes for graceful reboot on some buggy (U)EFI firmware
• Better Bluetooth + hot-pluggable audio support with dynamic AudioVM switching
Security features
• Templates can request custom kernel cmdline parameters (currently used for Kicksecure/Whonix user-sysmaint-split)
• VMs can specify boot modes intended only for AppVMs or templates
• GRUB2 from Fedora shipped with security patches + Bootloader Specification support
• SSL client cert + GPG key support for private template repositories
• Prevent unsafe third-party template installs via rpm/dnf
• Ability to prohibit start of specific qubes
• UUID support for qubes, including using UUIDs in policies
• “Custom persist” feature to reduce unwanted persistence
Anonymity improvements
• Whonix-Workstation qubes can’t open files/URLs/apps in non-Whonix disposables
• Prevent changing Whonix Workstation netvm to sys-firewall (or other clearnet netvms) to reduce IP leak risk
• kloak: keystroke-level online anonymization kernel
Performance optimizations
• Option to use volumes directly without snapshots
• Retire qubes-rpc-multiplexer and execute commands directly from C
• Cache “system info” for qrexec policy evaluation
• Minimal state qubes to reduce RAM usage for NetVM/USBVM
Updating & upgrading
• Always hide specific templates/standalones from update tools
• pacman hook to notify dom0 after successful manual Archlinux upgrades
• Improved 4.2→4.3 upgrade tool (including using lvmdevices instead of device filter)
New/improved experimental features
• Ansible support
• Qubes Air support
• qrexec protocol extension to send source info to destination
• Better GUIVM support (GUI/Admin split, auto-remove nomodeset when GPU attached)
• Initial steps toward Wayland session-only support in GUIVM (not full GUI agent/daemon Wayland yet)
Other quality-of-life
• Free-form notes on qubes (descriptions/reminders/etc.)
• Auto-clean QubesIncoming if empty
• vm-config.* features to pass external config into a qube
• Admin API to read/write the denied device-interface list
• New Devices API support for salt
Dropped/replaced
• Default screen locker switched from XScreenSaver to xfce4-screensaver
• “Create Qubes VM” retired in favor of “Create New Qube”
• Windows 7 support dropped from QWT
Overall, this feels like a more mature, refined release—better usability and device handling, real performance wins, and tighter guardrails where it matters.

Does Qube work on ARMS tablets?
Sounds like an excellent way for a reality check.

That doesn't answer the problem of a permanent record. You are correct I don't need to know & nobody needs to know so yet why do we log it? Because one of those developers made it a business to know. Public transparency is unethical in this matter.
To the people of beeble.com your no anonymous policy that states you will block anyone who uses privatedns, tor, vpn, or proxy. This is a great way to kill your userbase & force you to shutdown what's it 1 year almost up & running? My point is your not even successful yet & your killing yourself.
I will find a provider who does not put out a policy that is like I need to know your real ip & who you are by that.

You were 8 years ago hmm so was I & only because I got cheated on first.
Oh I misunderstood if you think so then it is so some are open minded to it.
Close but ehhh not quite. Cute & funny.
It's not useful at all actually it's incriminating & also nobodies business how anyone spends their money.
I hope when my loved one dies yall come out of the woodworks to fund me a international concert w Lil Wayne.
Yet they already sent the statement letters out before this was announced & everyone on ssi/ssd is still getting taxes taken out.
Yeah thats a problem right there. I imagine that will be how the governments will destroy the economy & we will all be broke except them. Bitcoin can't last w a blockchain.
So you cheated on someone & got broken up eh?

Your posting about something that happened over a year ago. Also Skiff was never about privacy read the code it was all powered by google.
I never noticed it before then when I saw the note they randomly had letters next to them OT with a # that's how I saw it then that literally disappeared from every note.
I see that button which is odd. The only thing that should be hashed to a blockchain is transactions. Anything else should be unacceptable. Blockchain wasn't meant to be used like this which is alarming.
Everyone grieves differently

This ain't grieving it's celebration. Shes making the mark of it's women's time now.
Anyone with a brain can see the scam without explanation if you use it. Since day one nobody has been able to answer the question of why a permanent record must exist.
