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.

That’s not what “federated” means. Please do not spread misinformation.
Go visit https://fedia.io and then tell them again that they’re on Lemmy.
Everyone in this thread is already using Linux and just using this thread to circlejerk about issues the average Windows user won’t care about.
No, this is not correct at all! You keep limiting yourself to the terms “open source” and “closed source”.
Any code you create, you own by copyright. Even if it is public on GitHub, you’re still the lone copyright owner and no one is legally allowed to do with it what isn’t allowed by a license.
Projects on GitHub without an open source license are only “functionally open source” to the same extent that pirated games are “functionally free”.
Correct, you are allowed to click the “fork” button and nothing else. You’re still not allowed to download, use, modify, compile or redistribute the code in any way that doesn’t involve the “fork” button.
The industry takes advantage of open source projects that have permissive licenses. This is an important distinction.
If you didn’t release your code with a permissive license (or even with a license at all), you have rights that protect you and your code. The only issue is that copyright infringement can often be hard to prove if you didn’t plan ahead for it.
What exactly did Palworld steal? Surely you have sources for your claims
