Proton did nothing wrong here; in fact, it is working as intended.

No email content or attachment was provided in this case because they (Proton) have nothing to give. Now, imagine if this user were using Gmail instead of Proton.

The article title is clickbait and is trying to incite outrage from the crowd. Don't fall for it.

Yes, I've just reread it, and while I completely disagree with the issue creator's attitude, he does have a point:

you also removed all the old versions that were released under an open source license so that others couldn't continue to use out-of-support versions

I haven't verify if this is true of not, but this is just not necessary. If the author stops providing pre-built binary for newer release versions, so be it. But I think it is a little too much aggressive from the author to delete old release versions as well.

As an open source software maintainer myself, I don't quite agree with some of the points.

I also always believed that if you ever started a project that is valuable for companies, they would support you in return

For me, I do ask for donations, of course, because life is hard and who doesn't want money? Especially when you deserve it. But I never expect anyone to make a donation. It's only when someone actually does it that I feel so much happiness. Some leave a thank you comment and stated that they cannot support me financially, and I'm also perfectly happy with that.

All I got was complaints.

I see it as feature requests and bug reports, and are another kind of contribution. Note that some of the people may seem rude, it could be because they are simply bad at English (as am I) and try their best to write a short sentence. Some may not familiar to GitHub and talk about their problems in an unrelated issue. In that case I simply try my best to understand and kindly answer them, and guide them to the right direction.

It may seem to you that open source is great because it's free to use. Truth is, it certainly is not free.

I use open source software for free, and I want to pay it back by contributing more to open source. I don't forget that my own open source projects also have a lot of other open source components in them, all for free. I don't like to force people to pay for my softwares in order to use it.

Of course, my open source projects will forever be hobby projects, I can never make them into a serious business nor work on them full-time, but I'm fine with that.

I personally would prefer a mechanical watch, we have too many things that are battery powered in our life already.

It's sad that a lot of the username come from Vietnam (my country). I remember when the Stellar airdrop announced there were people trying to buy GitHub account for 3-5$ for "their company's project". Many people do the thing that called "MMO" like that here, that doesn't realistically provide any value. They just want to get rich as fast as possible with only simple jobs such as copy and paste.

Wait until they replace the second option of the Desktop right click menu to something AI.

I usually use SlavArt to download MP3s and FLACs from streaming services: https://doubledouble.top

All sites that are proxied through Cloudflare, even free tier. So it's safe to say half of internet are supported ECH already.

This! But I also suggest Tic80 as a really nice free and open source alternative of Pico-8.

I understand that this game isn't for everyone, especially people who want a pause button in a turn-based game.
