    That tweet has such a clinical PR tone to it that is not helping put me at ease and im probably going to be moving my vault

    Also this doesn’t really fully address the issue as I understand it?

      Calling open source a “licensing model” in particular sounds like MBA-speak.

      There is no issue here from Bitwarden POV, except the pushback they receive now.

      Bitwarden got VC funding and the bell is ringing to bring the cows back in to be milked dry.

      They are testing the water to see how people react, scale back a bit through whatever lies/PR, and will just wait for the right time to shove more shit.

      This is a pattern we’ve seen over and over again.

      I know this is a completely separate thing, but something about the current redesign they’re pushing is making me very uneasy, as well. It feels very much like corporate focus-grouped, iOS chasing crap, i.e not at all interested in the type of power user and FOSS types that initially embraced it.

      Moreover, when someone asked for compact mode (again, as people have been asking for it from the beta for at least a year now), the response was some of the most PR shit I’ve seen from a FOSS developer.

      They legitimately defined something as basic as compact mode as a “power user” thing that they’re “considering”. And routinely reinforced how much they “value” power users, whole also suggesting their robust search function.

      A bunch of people had to demand the Android Beta app restore Quick Tile functionality because the dev team got in their heads it wasn’t necessary to have a manual trigger for auto-fill.

      Just feels like a lot of disconnect coming from the development side and its not inspiring confidence.
