I want this but as a Linux distribution. I don't think I'm asking for much here. I am just asking for the "open source community" to be to the left of Goldman Sachs
My understanding is that Bitwarden and KeePassXC, the two open source password managers, are *both* using random code generators at this point, which is terrifying as those are the exact tools where a small error could have the largest negative impact, and also tools that once you've committed to using it you can't quickly back out if they enter a code quality decline
🏳️🌈🎃🇧🇷Luana🇧🇷🎃🏳️🌈@mcc oh yikes wtf please not bitwarden
Nina Kalinina@luana @mcc nothing says "super safe password manager" more than "161 files changed, 776 lines added, 541 line removed, some files are hidden from PR by default, authored by Claude Sonnet, merged with some tests failing"
Gabriel Pires@nina_kali_nina @luana @mcc The file being “hidden” is an issue with Github’s UI, the source code is not actually “hidden” from people who want to read it. Also, who cares if master breaks? Do you pull Bitwarden from master and compile it or do you download pre-built releases? A lot of anti-AI sentiment today seems to have zero thought put behind it.
LisPi@gsprs @nina_kali_nina @luana @mcc > Also, who cares if master breaks?
What kind of two-bit hack breaks master on a published project?

@lispi314 @mcc @nina_kali_nina @luana Would you like a refund on that free lunch you ordered? You're more than welcome to send a PR or pony up some cash for a bug bounty, the last thing open source maintainers need are more freeloading peanut gallery morons like you.
@gsprs @mcc @nina_kali_nina @luana Wow, I guess that callout hit close to home huh?
If you feel guilty about your own flaws, don't try and project them on others who actually do avoid them.

@lispi314 @mcc @nina_kali_nina @luana One last time: talk is cheap and there's no shortage of armchair maintainers like you in open source, your input is not needed.
Also, there is something very ironic in attempting to accuse someone of "feeling guilty about their own flaws" while hiding behind a "cutesy anime girl" persona online, surely if you had any introspection you'd be able to see that :^)
@gsprs @mcc @nina_kali_nina @luana I see you keep insisting on the corposcum-approved "Open Source" label for some reason.
I don't care about Open Source. My profile is quite clear about that.
Is there hiding in the choice of an avatar that is more relatable and pleasant than the meat I am stuck with? Which do you think I consider more of a mask to facilitate social interaction and which I consider more honest broadcasting of my interests and personality?
I have no guilt in the flaws of the flesh which I have no responsibility for. Distaste, certainly, but no guilt. Unfortunately it's not even a matter of money, I simply cannot get it fixed.
I could clapback for the macbook face but honestly I don't really see why an avatar & broadcasted choice of aesthetics is supposed to be a negative (even if one has bad taste, it's at least clear).

@lispi314 @mcc @nina_kali_nina @luana What would you have me call Bitwarden instead of open source? "Free software"? If you did you'd be completely wrong, Bitwarden does not fit that definition since it has proprietary modules, proprietary enterprise features, proprietary infrastructure for the official server and so on. Rule #1 of LARPing as a tech vegan warrior is to look up what these terms mean so you don't embarrass yourself attempting to correct others like you just did.
@gsprs @mcc @nina_kali_nina @luana I would call it "unsuitable for use".
Which of course doesn't mean I cannot take notice when it somehow takes the plunge into becoming even worse.

@lispi314 @mcc @nina_kali_nina @luana Oh yeah, surely that's what you were going for when you complained about the use of the "corposcum" term "open source", right? Surely you didn't just try to gotcha me with the classic "uhm akshually you pleb it's called Free Software (free as in freedom not cost btw) and not Open Source" and failed hard. You can't even fool yourself.
@gsprs @mcc @nina_kali_nina @luana No, I didn't.
I'm here for keepassxc and taking potshots at other opportunities because I can.
I don't have anything to prove to you, but feel free to browse my posts.

@lispi314 @mcc @nina_kali_nina @luana Denial, classic. Thank you for the laughs, if there's anything I did wrong it was to claim you were at the peanut gallery, after reading this I realized you're more like the main stage clown. Have a good one!
