    Not trying to sound harsh, but you have nothing to show. Why should people crowd fund this thing without even a rudimentary prototype?

    Sounds like they are getting ready for more KYC on the block chain.

    It's a sarcastic joke, nothing there but a place holder for your own API key and you would have to set it up. There's no place like 127.0.0.1. :D

    While true it is a good reminder that a ton of legacy devices are going to break after 2021-01-11.

    Someone did make an alternative to GnuPG called OpMSG, but I'm not certain that it is reliably more secure, other than not depending on an online Web of Trust / key server. https:/…

    Great news, now hopefully they implement a CSS fallback for older browsers. I can't get their site to load at all in Pale Moon because it's white and unreadable.

    Any OS distribution, e.g. Debian maintainers should be asking permission to patch rust per Media Guidelines, but it doesn't always happen.

    Thank you kind sir. As an eLinks and PaleMoon user that is being constantly blocked from accessing Google Chrome exclusive content, you are making a difference.
