      @cadusilva Given that NordPass seem to have just deep-sixed all their public GitHub repos (aside from the autofill scripts), I'd say that's probably not a good sign for them either.

              @cadusilva That's why I continue to use the good old Schneier Password Safe.

                We are in a bizarre fuqing universe. 🤯

                I have always loved old tech, since I was a kid. But never more than I loved the future of tech. Now it seems like old tech is gonna be the only way we save ourselves from new tech.

                Will I someday trade my iPad Pro and WiFi hotspot for a 486 and dial-up, so I can communicate with people not inflicted with AI brain rot? 🤔

                          @mtconleyuk @cadusilva Were they to have done so in order to move to an alternative public repo instead (not you, GitLab); yes.

                          Were they to have... not done that; no.
