1. FOSS includes distributive right. Bitwarden is not.
2. I agree self hosting maybe hard, but one could always go for KeepassXC with any generic cloud storage.

All I say is that it’s not FOSS in the strict sense.

FOSS is a standardized term. As the Free Software Foundation defines it:

Free and open-source software (FOSS) is software available under a license that gives users the right to use, share, modify, and distribute the software – modified or not – to everyone and provides the means to exercise those rights using the software’s source code.

You are not granted right to modify or distribute Bitwarden. You can inspect and use that to build your own. That is what Vaultwarden does.

Not if you are being strict with the definition of FOSS.

That means you want one browser to be not flatpak, in most distros the default is Firefox, but it’s up to you to change.

Why people bother with any corporate software when it really don’t provide much more than completely FOSS alternatives

I figured you have to layer the browser on the system. The KeePassXC can stay flatpak. That’s how it worked for me. You always want to have one browser layered, anyways.

I can see both sides. Smarter people would make the pie bigger. But a flat %increase would make the absolute intelligence gap even wider, which is what I think is the more relevant metric. Evil spirited smart people would manipulate stupid people even harder and that benevolent smart people may not do much to stop it.

Would the world be better? Maybe. Would the world have less conflict? I bet not.

Feminism

Professor here facing the same problem. I am bounded by administrative procedures with grandma school administrators.

I use Linux at home, of course. Debloated my Win11 machine at work but hope to use Linux instead everyday.

I have experienced Cloudstrike firsthand. I was stuck in an airport.

For teachers, I guess they’re the biggest figure for students as they grow up. Confucian culture emphasizes enormous respect, and tbf, conformity to teachers.

I grew up wanting to be a YouTuber, and now work as a professor somewhere in East Asia with deep Confucian influence. The teacher-student dynamics here is truly shit.

In terms of politics, yes. But we are better in almost every other aspect.

Comparing numbers is not whataboutism. That’s literally why numbers exist in the first place, to compare and count.
