It doesn’t exist yet 😅 as I said, still learning and trying to avoid using AI as a lot of vibe coded discord clones popped up. I did compile a list (which probably needs updating)

You’re right. And that’s why more of us need to contribute and spread the word of projects to support them.
Honestly, FOSS is our last bastion against this consumerist hellscape. I’m working on learning to build my own discord-like front end on matrix specifically for gaming. But I’m just one guy. We’ve all gotta pick where we place our effort and support those around us similarly.
Vaultwarden taking over bitwarden, should they shut doen as open source, I think would be entirely worthy. But it might need more people to either help vaultwarden or maintain it on their own, you’re right.
To me, seeing and learning about all of these projects gives me hope. All of these people and communities working to build things out of passion and dedication, because they care and want to provide value to others. No profit motive necessary. We just need to be there to support them as we’ve tied capital to our survival currently.
Has Vaultwarden said anything yet? I imagine that, if necessary, given that bitwarden’s client is still open, at the point they choose to try and close it, we, the users, can fork it and establish it for vaultwarden, correct? Or, maybe even the vaultwarden team will think about forking it themselves and making a light client as well to pair with the current server.
But Vaultwarden can exist without “leeching” they just haven’t needed to yet. That’s more symbiotic than parasitic. The parasite class just took over Bitwarden after all.
How do you even scan a QR code if you’re browsing on your phone?
I’m having no trouble on mine on CachyOS thankfully. Playin my games just fine. I’m sad I didn’t kick Microslop sooner, it’s been great honestly with all the tinkering and control I have. Not only did I get a performance lift, but my PC actually feels…like it’s mine I guess?
I agree. I imagine he may have bought it before Elon went crazy too, when it was hyped up and one of very few options. We don’t know though.
And, I mean, he’s why I’m here now and why I have GrapheneOS on my phone and why I’m looking into even starting some local activist groups focused on data privacy and why I’m hosting some op sec parties with my friends to teach them more about all the FOSS and privacy focused apps and software I’m learning about.
To err is to be human. If anything, I’d want to see him use the audience to jailbreak a Tesla and build and open source OS to push to it to strip the tracking from it. Given that there’s an even harder push now to include eye tracking, breath tracking, heart rate tracking, and more as standard in 2027 cars, that feels pretty useful to me.
It’s scary to think about how the next generations are essentially being groomed to believe that these invasive applications and surveillance are just normal. But that’s the goal of the bug tech oligarchs.
Same reason they try and say it’s only criminals that want to protect their privacy.
It shouldn’t in theory. Worst case is if bitwarden closes source, just fork the latest current open version and use it.
Ideally, a group, either independent or joining with vaultwarden devs, can build/maintain the frontend for vaultwarden that is bitwarden.
