I hope one day we will find a method to finance websites operating costs without ads.
Never. People don’t want to donate, people don’t want to pay a subscription fee, people don’t want to watch ads. People want everything on the internet for free.

Your money is honestly better spent donating to new efforts like Ladybird or Servo.
I switched to Pass recently after having used Bitwarden for a couple years. I’d say Bitwarden still has a slight edge in terms of features, but Pass has gotten good enough and it’s included in my Proton subscription.
So why does Proton work on multiple products at the same time? Simply because:
- throwing more bodies at existing efforts has a point of diminishing returns and then a point when it even becomes counterproductive
- given the lengthy minimum time it takes to perfect services, starting earlier lets us deliver more to the community over the long term
That’s why we bring new services to market earlier than some of you would like, but I can also say that it’s never done if we believe it would compromise an existing effort.

Proton would be absolutely awesome if it stuck to it’s “We’re better than GMail” plan and provided stellar email and calendar.
You’re saying that like those have now gotten worse than they were before.
There are separate mail and VPN plans. What are you upset about?
You might be surprised to find out that, just like everywhere else, Linux users are a minority among the Proton userbase.
Because otherwise you’d be supporting the Chromium monopoly, and that’s the biggest sin imaginable in the Fediverse.
I’m noticing this misconception in a lot of places.
Just because something is on GitHub, doesn’t mean it’s open source.
That’s always so easy to say, isn’t it?
What exactly did Palworld steal? Surely you have sources for your claims
