    @cadusilva using pass[1] just because they can't take gpg and git away (or i'd have way bigger problems)

          @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.

                    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.
