Is keypassXC problematic?

@da_667 fun fact, if you log in to a website on chrome using a google login it will sometimes cause the browser to just automatically become logged into your google account without your consent
We should start a counter-ad campaign for chrome: "Chrome. The Flock of web browsers."

@da_667 stupid question: what's the problem with systemd? I've seen many people who dislike it but I have yet to hear a reason or an argument
@me
the reasons I've seen so far boil down to mostly two things:- they are massively feature creeping and doing a lot of things in one tool instead of just doing the one thing and doing it well
- they accept llm usage in their repos
I don't really want to get further into it here

"I want to use a web browser that isn't deep-throating AI"
Well, your choices are lynx and that's basically it.
@da_667 Vivaldi also, no?

NetBSD is small and pretty quick to install so I think its worth trying
I honestly found the installer pretty much fine¹. You're somewhat likely to have problems with wifi (you *can* use a usb wifi card) and suspend-resume (not much you can do in that case); but they're both working on my laptop, with a little bit of jank
¹: I've heard the partitioning part is rough but I just wiped the whole disk and selected "recommended partition sizes"

fellas, I'm gonna level with you. I'm starting to feel like computing in general is a series of trade-offs on how far you're willing to compromise on your morals.
@da_667 was not always so? I choose Linux, but so no games, no graphical editor (and at beginning also no gui). Hardware choice was limited. License: choose most freedom but work for companies which will not give back their modifications. I deleted facebook and whatsup more then 10 years ago, it means to lose many (most) contacts snd events (as European). Removed google, and now i cannot see many tutorials or instructions. Mastodon is moral vs usefulness. BTW: too much morals is imho utopia.

Correct, you can grow up and out. We recognised (correctly) how fucked this all is…

I am a 70 year old lefty and I am so proud of you kids, finally growing up and realizing that everything is corrupted by money, the more you have, the more corrupt you are

Use linux. Accept the curse of the automatroid: most major distros are accepting AI commits. Accept that systemd has been a cancer for a very long time.
Use macOS. Accept the curse of the Walled garden: You may run only what we tell you to run, when we tell you to run it. The rules change with every major OS update. You will accept them or you will go elsewhere.
Use Windows. Accept the curse of the hunted: You are being watched. You cannot slip your pursuer, you cannot obfuscate yourself. Even if you think you've hidden yourself, because of how convoluted Windows is, you can't really be 100% sure that you are not being watched. And even if you aren't you won't know whether or not a critical update re-enables the watcher in the walls.
@da_667 yeah hey hi i don’t see a fuck this shit I’m out completely option

@jackeric @aaron @da_667 @cR0w ohhh its not hard and thats part of the curse. Installation is trivial, basic setup is like the angels singing from the heavens. You weep because this is how it should be... then you bump into your first problem that isn't in the plentiful docs and have to find the community...

@river I mean with debian I need a script I named `fixmouse.sh` to do something-or-other to the trackpad after resume to get more advanced features like click, scroll etc to work again

@jackeric ha well if you're putting up with that then netbsd should be fiiiine

Is keypassXC problematic? sort of. Heard they started accepting AI commits. Is it "We tacitly support a dude who thinks europe needs an ethnic cleansing" levels of bad? Well AI sucks ass, but its not quite as bad as supporting DHH.

@da_667 Could you tell me more about your problems with systemd? The only criticisms I've seen is that it's "bloated" and "monolithic". Are there moral issues with it too?

@nthelt no, I won't.
-
@nthelt no, I won't.
@da_667 I should accept that it's a cancer without evidence?
You're definitely not obligated to do free labor to educate me, but advocating for a position and not backing it up is odd.

@nthelt dude, I'm not having this conversation at 9 in the morning. I don't owe you anything.

@da_667 this is life in general. I've found that part of maturing is realising all the ways in which you're evil. Even vegans have to draw a line somewhere, deciding just how much human exploitation or risk of animal exploitation they can accept in a product they buy.

@nthelt It's pretty easy to look up the history there since it's fairly recent, but the *biggest* thing is the software and the developer don't play well with others.
