Only just noticed the #enshitification underway at #bitwarden now that I got my renewal through with a 100% increase in price.... I only paid for premium to support open source, not venture capital / private equity bullshit. Why can't we have nice things?

The Quiet Renovation at Bitwarden - ByteHaven - Where I ramble about bytes

Back in March, I wrote about Bitwarden doubling their Premium price — and specifically how they did it. Buried in a feature announcement. Priced in fake...

If #Reddit enraged you, if #Bitwarden embittered you, well, you prolly oughtta sit down before you learn about #Wikipedia celebrating 25 years of human generosity by betraying everything it ever stood for

Bitwarden has seen recent low-profile shifts in leadership, site wording, and private-equity concerns.

I'm curious: What are you actually using right now? Are you staying, moving to a self-hosted alternative like Vaultwarden (my current choice), or switching to something like KeePassXC?

we don’t want software developed by fascists, which is why we look for alternatives that do the exact same thing, because there is definitely no reason to believe that fascist thinking is the whole reason this software exists in the first place.
"A recent 2026 empirical study titled "Beyond Code Snippets: Benchmarking LLMs on Repository-Level Question Answering" (published on arXiv/ResearchGate) explicitly tested LLMs on codebase comprehension. The researchers concluded that high performance often "results from verbatim reproduction of Stack Overflow answers rather than genuine reasoning."

WIRED has gone ahead with publishing an extraordinarily inaccurate article about GrapheneOS. It presents a highly inaccurate history of the GrapheneOS project heavily based on fabrications from James Donaldson. WIRED failed to incorporate most of our responses to his inaccurate claims.
Almost everything we argue about is a substitute for the thing we should be arguing about: the immense wealth & power of an oligarchic class, which captures governments, ruins lives and wrecks the living planet. This class redirects our rage at scapegoats. To resist its lies is to resist its power.
