This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Why does every good thing always have to go to shit. Sigh.
Why people bother with any corporate software when it really don't provide much more than completely FOSS alternatives
I feel like switching to self hosted vaultwarden was one of my best moves of the year
Fuuuuuuck
Ah shit, here we go again…
Was good while it lasted. Thanks for getting me off LastPass. See ya
Proton pass has been fine for me. I don’t care that the one Proton guy said the one thing that time, I’m out of energy and it’s good enough.
Run.
ProtonPass is run by a non-profit if you have to move to another hosted solution.
Otherwise there's multiple self-hostable options, including plain file sync options.
Use this example as learning experience that the type of the firm you're buying a service from is very important as it changes whose interests it puts first, second and last.
My health insurer is a non-profit but they're still a bag of money hungry dicks.
Non-profits do not always remain non-profits, and can become for-profit entities. Being a non-profit is not a reason to move to proton IMO, but Proton should be a decent temporary option if Bitwarden becomes aggressive to the open-source ecosystem.
Enshitification marches on.
If you're looking for alternatives and you don't care about automatic device syncing, I have been enjoying using keepassxc
I wonder how much the new choice of CEO was up to the founder versus the venture capital investors. I’m assuming the investors had the main input.
And this is why every time a tech company raises venture capitalist funding, it's almost inevitably on the road to enshittification, as the ones holding the pursestrings only care about what profit they can extract from the company over the next few years.
It needs a conscious effort from companies that are small but successful to stay that way, to keep their size and business model sustainable, and their mission connected to the interests of their users. From the top of my head I know Obsidian does it this way (fully user-funded), but there are probably others too.
ugh... This is worrying.
All good things come to an end at some point I guess.
Worry sounds like concern for something bad that might happen. I think "dread" is what you're looking for.
