This will surely dissuade people from coming to work on work visa. It’s a big step to relocate your carrier to another country. If there is no perspective to fully commit and plan proper migration, then there is less motivation to even go in the first place.

The sales person does not have any incentive for that. They need their name to be associated with the purchase.

That’s just another word for overreaching regulation.

Totally. Let the scoundrels advertise whatever prices they want, it's the consumers fault for being exploited!

Perhaps some people would like to know how much they are going to spend before they spend it.

This should be built in to Firefox. I would appreciate that functionality, but installing a rando‘s script in my browser seems risky.

That would be great.

Companies should not opt for and advertise with open source, if they don’t stand behind open source principles. Classic bait and switch. That’s what upsets users. They chose Bitwarden over e.g. LastPass, because they believed in FOSS. Companies exploit that and it’s sad.

The "bait and switch" argument is based on the assumption that it was their strategy from day one? I think the company has evolved around the orignal code and they'd like it to be more profitable / sustainable.

Assuming they stick with openly auditable code (albeit not FOSS) then it's still than purely commercial options.

Nevertheless, my argument is that it should be cherished that we've had (guessing) best part of a decade of opensource BitWarden that cannot be taken away from us. The FOSS bit is purely temporal ... $now, the exact commit/release/tag/head when an FOSS license is in play, it remains FOSS - it's just the next commit isn't FOSS ... but there's no binding license that says it is/should/has-to remain for future commits.

Nobody's rights are being taken away here.

"Beleiving in FOSS" just needs to be more short-term focussed or prepare for continual dissappointment.

Many SaaS disappoint after a while. They suggest you are paying monthly and benefit from ongoing development in return. Instead prices get increased, and essential new features are locked behind additional pricing tiers. Premium, professional, enterprise, what’s next? The user interface becomes an advertising app for the upsell. It’s an abuse of trust. So the problem is not so much subscriptions and SaaS themselves, but the business practices they enable.

I personally could tolerate it if Microsoft’s “Ai” is down for a few hours or days per year. Give clippy a break.

Soon you need to waive your class-action rights when applying for a job.

If anything, it’s an intransparent trade that gives Musk and the others their power. It is not a vote.
