A mug on a plate is not interchangeable, conceptually, with a teacup and saucer. Even ones decorated in a rather fetching Wedgewood-esque style.

Great to see another brand new browser under active development!

I unplugged the bassist but noone noticed cared.

+1 for The Terror. That and Carrion Comfort are my two favourite Dan Simmons novels.

Notice how its the only copy? All the others on that table have small stacks. It’s like someone got it off the shelves deeper into the shop and then their nerve failed them.

Not sure that its a must have and possibly uBO could handle it if I could be bothered to check but I like LocalCDN too.

Minecraft Delorean.

Is he quite a big cat, sort of a burnt orange colour, white underbelly with a very, very bushy tail?

Not sure but I bet it has a co.uk tld

I’m not arguing that fighting religion with religion is a bad idea - I’m saying they’re not very good at it. The last time I checked they’d won 3 rulings out of a possible 32. That’s across all cases, not just abortion. In the meantime, religious groups that are not inept are winning cases. And the more headlines TST generate, the more posts like this one pop up across all forms of social media and the less attention people pay to legitimate groups that actually can - and do make a difference.

I would urge you to look further into the histories of the owners of TST, one of who wanted to launch TST by publishing a sequel to Might Is Right a protofascist screed that Anton LaVey cribbed from for the Church of Satan.

I also don’t think they’re entirely about taking people’s money. But they sure do do a lot of that and no one seems to know exactly where that money goes.

Which would be fine if they were actually effective at anything besides trying to get money from people. They’ve lost every abortion related legal action they’ve started so far.

By contrast, a religious group (the so-called ‘Hoosier Jews for Choice’) that aren’t inept and can actually be effective and aren’t more interested in your bank balance than your politics secured a landmark ruling for abortion rights in April this year.

TST’'s finances are utterly opaque - only their two owners (because it is a business) know what comes in and what goes out and they aren’t telling. There are much better groups to donate both time, effort and money to instead of some very dodgy group with a worrying reputation.

Lucien Greaves.

I strongly advise you watch the DeadDomain video and form your own opinions. Everything she claims in it is sourced. It is not at all what that Medium blogger says it is. If you prefer reading to video TempleWatcher has pages (with all points referenced) on the two owners Greaves and Jarry.

TST’s abortion campaign - which is strongly opposed by multiple pro-abortion support groups in multiple States - is a classic example of how they operate.

Not only are they depriving legitimate pro-abortion groups of attention and funding, they are getting people to donate money for their business.

New Mexico, where their current clinic is, has no problem with abortion. I see they’re not naming the state where this new one will be but I’m betting it will be somewhere equally trouble-free for those seeking an abortion.

What this ‘competition’ is doing, like all TST’s fundraisers, is getting you to fund their start up costs in an abortion friendly State without any requirement to give anyone a return on that donation.

If you want to support pro-abortion causes - and you should - support organisations who will actually help people.

But inciting violence politically is, judging by recent events, absolutely fine.

Should’ve opted for the Stewart timeline.

A few little things rather than one or two big things - email advertised as private but they won’t let you use anonymous addresses (like anonaddy or duck.com) for recovery addresses, an ever growing portfolio of products that seem unfinished or incomplete or lacking in standard features like they’re trying to corner the whole privacy market rather than making one or two products but making them really good, poor customer service and support as a continual theme throughout their existence.

To be clear, I’m not suggesting they’re doing anything dodgy, I just feel that I don’t really trust them. They just make really odd choices and it all feels like a haphazard rush.

You would think that someone at Proton would’ve had the foresight to realise the reputational damage this (along with the LLM announcement) would do to the company.

Without wanting to sound smart after the fact, I’ve been suspicious about Proton for years. I briefly had an email account with them but I could never quite shake the feeling there is something off about the whole company. This move just confirms to me I was correct to be suspicious.

The video has its sources listed in a Google Doc in the description, but if reading rather than video is more your thing (or you’re not keen on using Google stuff - and I get that) there’s also TempleWatcher’s pages on Greaves and Jarry, the two co-owners of TST.

I wish there was a way but there’s so much bad stuff and it all kind of interweaves with every other aspect of itself. I could tell you Greaves was a eugenicist who’s made eugenicist, racist, antisemitic, ablist statements in the past but without going through everything else in the video its next to impossible to explain how that impacts on how he operates today.

Neither of them are good people but I don’t want anyone to just take my word for it - the receipts are at that link.
