I don't want to encourage paranoia here but "off" does not mean "off". Modern phones are almost never actually "powered down". If you're paranoid, turning your phone off is not enough. Leave it behind.

(Also a gap in your phone's location history can also be used against you, fwiw.)

"The fourth amendment means what we say it means" -- SCOTUS, probably.

In any significant quantity, i guess.

It's not even religious. Their religion says all kinds of really important shit that they completely ignore. They just pick this one specific issue because they hate women and it's a lot easier to say "Uhhhh it's because of my religion, you're discriminating against me!" than it is to say "I hate women and want them to suffer".

I wish it was that few, but sadly trans people can have some really atrocious politics too. I doubt they're a significant factor on this particular scenario, though.

How the fuck do you run someone over with a bulldozer... no matter what i think of it's not coming up good...

It's super illegal.

He's probably doing it to drive up interest and get people to register, then at the end he'll be like "sowwy guys, my lawyer says I can't :( Vote Trump to end this horrible tyranny!"

It's a minor, technical change to the license. It's not a change we should be supporting but it doesn't matter much. The real concerning thing is that this may signal a shift away from focusing on the value to the user.

It doesn't mean that in this case, except perhaps very indirectly.

Vaultwarden is Bitwarden--at least for now, this change may push them apart.

No, technically they already are SaaS company. That's mostly how they make their money.

Also it should be noted "no longer open source" doesn't mean they've done a "our code is now closed and all your passwords are ours" rug pull like some other corporations. This is a technical concern with the license and it no longer meets proper FOSS standards (in other words, it has a restriction on it now that you wouldn't see in, for example, the GPL).

So by and large the change is very minimal, the code is still available, it's still the best option. However, this does matter. It may be a sign of the company changing directions. It's something they should get pushback about.

Honestly, it's Bitwarden right now. This move signals their intent to change that, though.
