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 canceled my BW sub and made the move to Proton when I saw this yesterday. I went through the enshitification of 1PW and won't hang around for the sequel.

A great Medium article on the topic that analyzes the entire situation: (coming to the conclusion that no, Proton does not really seem to be in favor of Trump/MAGA at all given their actual actions, and how the original statement was misinterpreted)

I disagree. The article is just someone's opinion. As a previous customer, there is a smell to these things. First, it's the complimemts to the fascist. Then, the pivot to AI. There is virtually little support on Linux. Next will be the policy changes. I jumped off ship. The article reads like an AI piece. May not be, but the author seems sketch, only one post. I see the nuance, I'm just not convinced.

1P 7.0 moved to electron, which means sub-native performance and higher RAM usage. They removed their lifetime sub payment and stranded their lifetime users on 6.0 . I left right after the removal of lifetime subs.
