In the latest episode of "they will always sell you out" - they sold you out! Who would've thought.

Hoping for a good alternative client to appear, the writing is on the wall. Vaultwarden can't exist without "leeching" off of Bitwarden.

today it’s 1.65… tomorrow it’s 4.99… next week it’s 12.99… stop being a mindless sheep giving them any sort of leeway. you’re enabling the scammers to literally scam you more, and more and more.

'Mindless sheep'. That's hilarious. But I get it. Nobody likes to pay for shit.

I mean, when we see the same pattern of endless subscription creep and price hikes on virtually every service... saying "but it's only [insert dollars here]" does sound pretty out of touch.

[–] irmadlad@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It's not 'out of touch'. It's paying for (if it comes to that) a service that houses all of my business accounts, investment accounts, personal accounts, etc, and all with a pretty damn good track record. As with any technology, you must constantly evaluate it to see if what you are spending is justified for the service you are receiving. If at such time I feel the service isn't worth the price, then sure. As of now, it's not really an issue to me.

Sure. I think a lot of people just see that constant evaluation as postponing the inevitable, though (again, because the same pattern is everywhere). It's not acknowledging that part which seems out of touch.

I assure you, I am fully cognizant of what for-profit corporations do. It's one of the reasons I turned off the TV over two decades ago. There just wasn't any ROI for me.

Man, I tell you, I wish I could live in a fantasy world where everything is free.

Not sure about “everything”, but plenty of password managers are.

There are a handful of things I do not self host.

  • arr stack
  • password managers
  • anything financial
