You don't have to solve all the privacy problems to not display a borderline dark pattern cookie dialog.

Or to not use Medium.

If you claim to care about "confidential computing" and what not, one would expect that you have basic hygiene in other places outside your claim.

On the flip side, are you missing out on some fundamental privacy knowledge by not knowing and sharing information about confidential computing? You are evangelizing privacy (a great thing) but seem to have determined one aspect is crucial, regardless of the possible importance of this other aspect. What I'm saying is: what if avoiding Medium is a drop in the privacy hygiene pond and confidential computing is the pond itself?

I don't think I am knowledgeable enough to answer my question or even validate its premise, but I do think it's unfair to dismiss this information simply because it was published on Medium. And when it comes down to it, we have tools like archive.is which I believe avoids any privacy related qualms with Medium: https://archive.is/wUCRe

No. I haven't determined one aspect crucial. It's kinda "bathrooms at a restaurant" thing: if the bathrooms at an otherwise spotless restaurant are dirty, are we to assume that it's just "not all aspects of cleanliness have to be solved"?
