apparently bitwarden can import data vaults super easily from 1passwd.
guess i’ll be recommending clients to bitwarden from here.
Importing was truly super easy, but bitwarden has some kind of latency issue compared to 1p on the same machine and the same browser. 1p was always a smooth and unobtrusive experience, you will be extremely aware of BW's presence.
I don't care if the guy who made my hammer is a Pastifarian I care how well the hammer hammers, I don't care if my accountant likes to dress up as a skunk and go to conventions demanding people address him by Sir Reginald Stinkington as long as he does a good job at my taxes.
In this case it seems the concern is that the company donated to an OS project that is headed by a guy whom you don't like.... That just seems like there are plenty of other problems to address in the world.
On a liberal-ness scale from 1 to 10 I'm an 11, and even I can't imagine that many folks would read what DHH actually said and jump to the conclusions that these people did. This is not a Godwins law case... The dude just wants some homeless people to stop shitting in the bushes in public.
Either some people have poor literacy skills, or they just want to be mad.
> Most importantly my entire family uses it. You know how difficult it was to get them to use a password manager consistently. [...] I asked my parents whether they knew of linux or dhh and they do not. Most people dont. They will ask: why move if its working and no issue with the software itself. [...] Say I find a new one, am I suppose to research what their corporate policy is and who they support. Sorry, I have a life to live.
It's just such an uphill battle to get anyone you care about to use a password manager, getting them to switch it out unless it stops working would probably be ever harder.
it apparently imports the password vaults painlessly.
i’ll check it out tonight and if it is that easy, it’ll be my new rec for people.
However, from DHH:
> Before this can be an amazing system for everyone, it first has to be an amazing system for me, personally.
By DHH's own words, all money currently is 100% spent on DHH's desires. That is a contribution to an individual.
I agree. I'm tired of repeated bad faith interpretations of anyone who shows even the slightest disagreement with the current political milieu. Opinions that were considered anodyne in 2010 are now "far right, "fascism", and "genocide". This whole approach is grossly undemocratic as it treats half the country as a problem to be solved or worked around. This is far more authoritarian than stuff supported by many of the supposed fascists.
Obama was pro-deporting illegal immigrants and anti-gay marriage at one point.
Huh? What did I miss?
I am so very, very tired of having to even consider, let alone make decisions about, the technical vs. political merits of products. It’d be so great if CEOs would keep their views to themselves.

Would it, really? I personally appreciate it when they're so open, it gives me absolute certainty about two things:
1. Whether I want to work for their company
2. Whether I want to buy what they're selling
This is extremely valuable information. If they were keeping that information hidden, it would be far more difficult to obtain answers to these questions. This way I don't even have to do any real work (job application, accepting an offer, moving, purchasing, etc) to find out.
Sadly only the odious behaviors convey such certainty, the sneaky nice ones are who you have to watch out for.
That is called ethnic cleansing, and yeah, comparisons to Hitler's "policies", especially during the early stages of his rise to power, are quite fair.
Can you provide a quote that demonstrates this?
> Bernie Sanders: Open borders? No, that's a Koch brothers proposal.
> Ezra Klein: Really?
> Bernie Sanders:Of course. That's a right wing proposal which says essentially there is no United States.
> Ezra Klein: But it would make ...
> Bernie Sanders: Excuse me ...
> Ezra Klein: It would make a lot of global poor richer, wouldn't it?
> Bernie Sanders: It would make everybody in America poorer, you're doing away with the concept of a nation state and I don't think there's any country in the world which believes in that. If you believe in a nation state or in a country called the United States or UK or Denmark or any other country, you have an obligation in my view to do everything we can to help poor people. What right wing people in this country would love is an open border policy. Bring in all kinds of people, work for 2 or $3 an hour, that would be great for them. I don't believe in that.
I am not the OP, but I am somebody who decides what software we use org-wide in a company, and this sort of thing matters to me.
> Politics is just another word for how we treat our neighbors.
So yes, as I accept this definition - I may choose a "less efficient" tool if it treated my neighbor better.
Is your management chain aware of this? Which company do you work for? They have the right to know.
There are other secure password managers out there, including open-source alternatives, which can be considered to be inferior due to having fewer features or a worse UI.
On a side note, while I'm sure some people only make decisions based on technical reasons, most don't. Not saying if it's right/wrong or better/worse, but that's how most humans work.
What company do you work for that is okay with that? To let your own personal politics compromise their security posture?
You asked them the following:
> Would you chose a product inferior to 1password if it better aligned with your politics?
Nowhere in your question you mentioned security, but your conclusion was that they would pick a less secure option and that their employer should be made aware. Maybe not intentionally, but looks like you're trying to win the argument with some word twisting and a 'gotcha'? But maybe that's just my limited English.
Anyway, I'm just pointing out that "inferior" doesn't mean "less secure" and that most people don't only choose things based on technical merits alone (I'd be surprised if you did). With this clarified... I will now leave the thread. Have a nice day!
But the DHH posts linked in the original post are clearly beyond any kind of 'light'.

He's also wildly misogynistic, transphobic...he's your standard white supremacist, far-right fascist.
I'll leave it you to decide if advocating that your country deport the homeless people who are publicly defecating in the bushes makes you into actual Hitler (as he's been compared to even in this post).

"There's absolutely nothing racist or xenophobic in saying that Denmark is primarily a country for the Danes, Britain primarily a united kingdom for the Brits, and Japan primarily a set of islands for the Japanese."
I interpret him to be advocating for less immigration, and maybe some deportations of criminal types. He's allowed to.
Personally, I disagree with him, but we're all adults. We're allowed to disagree and still respect each other. That's the basis of society.
He's not advocating for violence and the hyperbole some people are coming up with is way overblown when compared to what he actually said.
He is an average right-wing adult. Not some rabid fascist who wants death-camps.
He's saying that he wants the homeless people who poop in the bushes deported because like wolves there are too many, and they're dangerous. People who poop in public are like that. It has very little to do with racism as far as I can tell.
I'm as liberal as they come, but I draw the line at shrubbery-shitting.
Because wolves are being used as a dogwhistle/proxy for "migrants" by the far right.
Denmark has a problem with wolves crossing into Denmark. So the far right gives speeches about what a menace wolves are, they don't belong here, they don't deserve to be here, they're not FROM here" and so on - while doing a lot of theatrical smiling and winking, or just shifting right into talking about immigrants and migrants, "totally separately and unconnected, bro! I just wanted to talk about them both while i was here!"
You might want to not take anything David Hamburger Helper says at face value given he perpetuates far-right conspiracies / racist tropes like "Pakistani rape gangs."
I was trying to reinforce it by saying the wolf comparison is a current public safety concern and has nothing to do with comparing Romani to actual animals.

Jake's blog post points out how David Hamburger Helper is quite skilled at running right up to the line but not crossing it explicitly.
His type is great at using weasel words and dog whistles. The kind of person who thinks he's clever for using hyperlinks in their blog posts to imply the shit they don't have the balls to say outright while going "tee hee I'm so clever for making every mention of Obama's name in my blog post a linking to the wikipedia article about bananas." (David Hamburger Helper didn't actually do this, it's an illustrative example.)
In the US, conservatives pre-you-know-who would say things like "hard working Americans" (ie "not urban blacks on welfare taking public transit and using their food stamps to buy cigarettes and potato chips") or "American family values" (ie "not the gays") and so on.
Omacom foundation is funding good open source dev work. I see nothing wrong with that, and their response was perfectly reasonable.
If you think you can do better, start a competing foundation. Whinging about it just makes you lose all objectivity; now your opinions on actual technology are less relevant as your personal bias is on full display.
