Comment on QubesOS workstation + homeserver, and DANE for TLS without 3rd party company

I don’t agree, I think there is a difference in likely outcomes. but even without scripts, you don’t want you article’s content (text, images, statements or names) be falsified by an attacker. Unless you are just reading the article to waste time, and magically what you read will not influence your views.

I already considered that, and for an untrusted website I already don’t trust the content or the scripts. So it doesn’t matter if it was modified or not, it’s still untrusted.
Facts can be verified with sources you do trust (which should be using HTTPS). Logic can be used to verify others.

but then why are you reading it? is it cat photos and cooking recipes only? or does it have articles about pricey things you could buy, news, life improvement tips, car and other thing repair docs/advice?

A lot of times its tech opinion articles. Stuff like “why AI is bad”. And I read the arguments and judge them for myself.
