Is keypassXC problematic?

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 expand "computing" to "life" and I'm with you.

@da_667 @cR0w yes, really, fresh leaves of hemlock makes a great tea if you are a tech billionaire, member of Herrenrasse or both! It was a favourite of the Spartans, gives strength and power and superiority, so it could only support yours, right? Ignore the tingly feeling in your mouth, that ceases after a few minutes. Adding a teaspoon of lead sugar improves its taste.

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 Sadly, since the move back to RISC and given Apple's reluctance to publish documentation, we don't even have the option of wiping MacOS to install something else.

@nthelt dude, I'm not having this conversation at 9 in the morning. I don't owe you anything.
@da_667 I agree that you don't owe me anything. I said so in my last post.
You asserted that I should "Accept ...". If your goal is to get your audience to accept your claim, it's in your interest to say what you mean.
Maybe I'm not in your target audience. And that's okay. I don't follow you. I found your post from Drew DeVault's boost.

@da_667 this pretty much has summed it up for decades now. It consumes more of my time than actual doing the computing and really takes the fun out of technology anymore.
Just the fact that I have to spend so much time now to see if what I want to use is backed by a piece of shit is so tiring and mentally draining.

@da_667 That and capitalism.

@da_667 Huh. I don't remember this particular feat in Esoteric Ebb.

"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 i’m holding out hope for servo. they have a no-llm policy

@da_667 It's not really computing though. It's the IT industry and the usual Capitalist greed for ever-increasing profits from a shrinking work force.

@da_667 I disagree, at least beyond the argument that *all* technology (including agriculture, fire use, and wheels) is a series of trade-offs. The evil pieces of shit who want to strip mine civilisation for short-term, personal gain are making technology morally difficult to take part in, but that's something *those people* are doing and isn't inherent to computing or technology in general.

@da_667 I really think this is the core reason every tech person I know has their non-tech fantasy backup, like being farmer. I think those fantasies are more about "moral injury" than they are about workload and traditional burnout.
(Mine is being a mail person. That would be amazing.)

@paul_ipv6 @da_667 i have to assume after every boom you had the previous guard that was fired/purged having similar conversations, im not that naive to think we’re wholly unique
@cyberquixote @paul_ipv6 @da_667 I'm 56. What we're going through now in tech is much worse than anything that has come before.
