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.

I kind of find the headline a bit disingenuous. However, if they do move to a non-free model, I’d still pay for it. I mean $1.65/Month USD. Sure, I don’t even have to think about it.
yeah fuck that… fuck subscriptions ALL OF THEM. fucn these companies, ALL OF THEM.
stop giving any of these pricks any slack. none of them deserve it, nor money.
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.
I’m relocating all my shit right now because we’ll… fuck em. I am loyal to NO COMPANY. none of them deserve anything but bankruptcy at a minimum.
I’ve cut down my subscriptions by a lot over the past few years, and I’ve gotten very close to what I consider a minimum. Whenever possible, I like to buy outright.
However, surely you can understand how not every product can function as a one time purchase. For something like a password manager, they are providing an ongoing service. They are storing and serving your data.
You can self host, sure, and I’m doing a lot of that lately. But not everyone has the capacity or desire to.
All that said, this leadership shakeup is concerning and I think I’ll be migrating to Proton, since I already have a Duo plan.
You don’t need to self-host at all! Daisy-chain your needed files via Syncthing and Syncthing-Fork. That’s literally what I do with KeePassXC and KeePassDX, keeping everything offline.
‘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.
Hmm nice profile pic
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.
Baaaaaaa.
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.
Funny thing is I clicked the link and “Always free.” was gone. Refreshed the page and it was back. Definitely something going on.
<shrug> It was there when I went and took a screen shot without refreshing.
