Un bug critique dans Zcash révèle une tension structurelle : plus un protocole de confidentialité est opaque, plus les correctifs sont difficiles à déployer et à vérifier publiquement. La vie privée protège les utilisateurs — mais elle peut aussi ralentir la réponse aux vulnérabilités. Les deux sont vrais en même temps. #infosec #cryptographie #privacy

It seems as though there are a lot of news outlets that are, in my opinion: user hostile. Lots of pop-ups, ads, opt-in to cookies, give us your email, etc.

I would personally be willing to pay $0.25 - $0.99 per article (If it was easy/private to pay w/o subs or tracking) if they made it the best reading experience in the world on any device.

It’s worth noting I get my news from many difference sources so I would not want to be locked-in to one news station/outlet.

Screenshot of Tolaria, an open-source Markdown knowledge management app. The interface shows a three-pane workspace with a sidebar of note categories, an inbox containing notes and saved resources, and a document editor displaying an article titled “Introducing Tolaria.” A properties panel on the right shows metadata, relationships, and note history. The app emphasizes organization, personal knowledge management, and Markdown-based workflows in a clean, desktop-style interface.

This is a worry.
