“Do not sell” is not the same as “do not share”. Part of some contracts is kickback of data as payment.

Given it’s microsoft, it’s a no from me personally, but their todo app is very good.

Since I couldn’t pry my parents away from ms office anyway, I set them up on this specifically for groceries. They really like it.

What features are missing? (Maybe ignorance is bliss)

TIL Thank You

There’s often the ‘security vs. convenience’ tradeoff, but for most people you have both sides with Bitwarden over KeePass.

Bitwarden is undoubtedly more convenient. If you can create an account, you can use it. I have a family account, and have both of my parents using it. The love it now, but given the friction to get them there in the first place, it would impossible to get them on KeePass. Especially because they wanted their passwords on all devices.

Regardless of using Vaultwarden or KeePass, you need to have quite a bit of expertise to self host. And you are trusting your own ability to secure your attack surface. I’m sure many if not most in this thread can, but it would take me quite a while to convince myself I have. I would much rather trust security professionals.

Somewhat, although, potentially related. Have you seen Bitwarden’s git repos? It is immaculately organized.

Consistent, clear naming convention. There is literally one called ‘self-host’. If you put that much effort into keeping your code that useable/available/auditable etc. Oh yea. I’m going to trust you to handle security for me

Yes. That’s true. Not to be argumentative, does KeePass have the features that are paywalled by Bitwarden?

Why KeePassXC over Bitwarden or VaultWarden?

Thanks for the tip. I’ll definitely will do it myself. I do wonder if this is like the crosswalk button that only give pedestrians the illusion of changing the light

Why is this abomination, which is the bastard amalgamation of pre-existing tech patentable? Oh right patents. Never mind.

IIRC, whisper inteefaces with openai

This is my biggest issue too. In the ideal situation, I “trust” my bank. What I have an issue with is whenever I buy something it becomes part of the “public space” of data brokers. Maybe they only trade information on what my breakfast cereal of choice is. More (most definitely) likely is that everything I buy is there for any third party to see

That’s certainly true

That’s a good idea

When you say billions of hours, I would keep things in perspective. AI and storage aren’t free. They’ll only save the important stuff. The solution to saving yourself, us, and all of humanity is to never do anything important or useful. So the good news is if we go back to work and slack off as we’ve always done, we’ll outsmart them and save us all!

“anymore” 🤣

I convinced my family by telling them I won’t use anything else. Use Signal or don’t talk to me. Win win

We all have a fundamental right to privacy, which is constantly violated. Not just on a daily basis, but on a minute by minute basis.

But to play devil’s advocate for a moment to assuage some FUD around posts like this, how many of the absurd amount of cookies overlap in otherwise innoculous ways. For instance, product tracking cookies. Say you bought a pumpkin on Amazon, and that drops a gorde cookie, a pumpkin spice cookie, a cornucopia cookie etc.

That’s certainly not the same as buy a pumpkin, track your location around the nearest pumpkin patch, read your grandma’s emails about pumpkins, and collect information to determine your likelihood of buying another pumpkin based on your sexual orientation.

The latter certainly exists, but does anyone know much about the former? How prevalent would they be in that 850?

My sell on password managers is quality of life. You never have to reset your passwords and you can use a hotkey to enter it faster than typing. Gone are the days of fat fingers.

But I get where people have an issue. It’s one point of failure vs. many, but they don’t realize It’s easier to well secure the one than it is to not spread the same vulnerability everywhere.

As Kramer said. Levels. If tou layer your security 2 becomes a non issue. What you have, what you know, and who you are. Which plays into 1. The 3-2-1 of backup. 3 copies of the data. 2 different media. At least 1 off site. Suprising as it might be, writing a great backup is to write your password down. I have a piece of paper with my password in a lock box in my apartment, in a safety deposit box at my bank, and at my parent’s house

Seen the same thing. You have to hop around to get high quality
