Bitwarden New CEO has extensive M&A, Private equity experience, Removes Transparency from its Motto

I find this move concerning, and wish that the Founder had looked for a new CEO that shared his values rather than a Private Equity and Mergers Expert.

Furthermore, the change to the GRIT motto is worrying. Trust is useless without Transparency when it comes to code and security.

Ah for fuck's sake. Seems like every month I have to change something because some fucking company starts getting a taste for greed via data sucking. I'm goddamn sick of it.

That's why you use open source alternatives everywhere :) just replace one at a time when the company fails

Unprompted snark from an .ml user, how surprising. I am a bigger cheerleader for open source than any of my friends or family. It's the only real path to stay free of corporate influence, greed, and spying (in regards to software). Live free or die.

Bitwarden is, by definition, open source. It has been since I started using it ~6 years ago. I'm tired of literally everything having the potential for enshittification. Nothing is safe in the long run, not even volunteer-run projects. If you think your favorite project is safe because of some "core ethos" or "guiding principles", you're just drinking the kool-aid. As long as we exist under capitalism, anything under the sun can be enshittified.

I will never give up, even if things seem even more dire than they are now. But I'm tired of having to maintain constant vigilance.
