The first rule of #Enshittification is that proper lock-in cannot occur if the product is thriving as Open Source, so once you've reached sufficiently high switching costs, pull out the rug.

@jschauma This might explains why the mobile app is having trouble with my Vaultwarden instance…
Shit…

@jschauma and stop people from discussing it (in this case, the issue was locked). Also, see github.com/bitwarden/sdk/issue, where this was initially reported, and which was promptly closed by BW.

It is probably time to find a replacement, or maybe someone with the ressources and will will start a freewarden...

@jschauma by the way, like the universe trying to tell me something, I just heard about passbolt.com a few hours ago...

@jschauma

As far as I understand the GPL'ed their SDK by distributing them together.

Also GPLv3. LOL.

@jschauma considering the fact that #BitWarden was never #FLOSS to begin with (unlike #KeePassXC & #KeePassDX!) I'm not surprised.

@jschauma I thought I was into a good one there.

*Sigh* Time to look into paying those switching costs

@jschauma According to this statement from Bitwarden on Twitter, it wasn’t intentional: xcancel.com/bitwarden/status/1

I hope that's true, but it seems unlikely it was just an accident, given they're comfortable with not being on fdroid:

@jschauma@mstdn.social
@bitwarden@fosstodon.org what is this supposed to mean? Do you plan to make all your clients depends on a proprietary SDK while still calling your software FOSS? That's not persuasive enough. 😡
