    Even if they are backtracking with egg on their face, this is good. Maybe better. Now they know they can’t get away with this stuff.

      Not now anyway, now it’s just laying in wait.

      Every company does this, they put out a trial balloon, see how badly it tests, and then just wait for the right time when nobody notices. Usually during real crises in the world.

      Man, I really hate seeing comments like this. I feel like I need to reiterate that BitWarden is NOT an open-source company. They are committed to providing open-source compatible products with their products. Two very different things.

      If they feel their product is somehow lacking or affected by whatever they are packaging right now, they are completely free to change it. They also have no barriers to entry for users who wish to use another client.

      It’s really not a big deal.

        That’s why I said “even if”.

        “Even if” it’s not really a bug and they are backtracking, then [rest of comment here].

          Your comment can be read in more than one way.

              Or I can determine multiple interpretations. I’m a master at puns and that takes the ability to detect alternative meanings or phrasing and how they can relate to each one. “If you’re not patient you might become one.”

                Can you explain that one then because I’m really not seeing what you’re saying.

                  I find myself unable to explain it. I had it earlier but I am tired and frustrated and not thinking clearly. And if I am unable to explain it then it doesn’t really matter.
