Not once have you linked to any of those studies you keep referring to.
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.
Who is against free games?
Your money is honestly better spent donating to new efforts like Ladybird or Servo.
So every negative news about Twitter, Instagram and literally every non-fedi social media platform is "relevant" too?
The post itself doesn't even make an effort to connect this to potential benefits for fedi.
Damn, your machine must have been heavily locked down to be able to figure that out!
My problem is what others described: downvoting without actionable feedback.
This is exactly why I prefer instances that have downvotes disabled.
Who's saying anything about gaming in that image?
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.
If you want to own your games, buy them on GOG.
