gonna have to start cleaning up some of the posts from the more long-winded assholes with opinions that aren’t more complex than “well I trust them to not let the technology known for creating security vulnerabilities run wild on their codebase, because they made the exact same promises every other project makes when they go all-in on slop”
like god fucking damn what did keepassxc do that made all these little fuckers pledge allegiance to it? what about this mediocre blog post is convincing? did y’all miss the context that this post is accompanied by a bunch of posts on other official keepassxc accounts where they give incorrect and potentially dangerous information in defense of their use of LLMs?
@self There might be more precedent than I thought if they have written more than the two most recent posts. I was not aware because password management is not the kind of thing I like to have to constantly fuck with. It’s not a project car, it’s a washing machine. One has much more to gain and a lot less to lose if it shits the bed.
I also assumed they wouldn’t play stupid games with people’s PASSWORD DATABASES but thankfully they were vocal enough when I was wrong about that to adapt quickly.
EDIT: I assumed the link was to a second post I had not yet seen since a few days ago. I had only seen the one blog post on 9 November.

@self At this stage I think it’s ideological: the software world’s equivalent of a big rolling-coal truck.
@emma @self There sure does seem to be a lot of software only kept alive by that.
