Might get some hate for this, but so long as OP vetted the text, I think this is one of the rare good fine uses for AI. Its not an app people are downloading and running, AI can only mess it up so much. If it helps one person break away from Google I’ll take it.

Its missing “scan QR codes as a form of captcha”

Not really, just had to install KeePass on my computer and export my bitwarden passwords BW makes that easy to do) and import them to KeePass. I haven’t set up the browser extension yet, as at a glance it says it doesn’t work with browsers installed with flatpak and that’s how I have LibreWolf installed. Setting up syncthing was also pretty straightforward.

Yeah, I switched to KeePass for the same reason. The only way I trust software is if they’ll show me the code, and the only reason to replace “transparency” with “trust” IMHO is because they want to go closed source. Innovation also tends to just mean 'we’re going to be charging you for features that used to be free ’

I mostly just don’t see the point in them. If the technology could run a live adblocker that would be a different story.

Yeah, as long as it’s not Google, it works. The real trick is to find a good email aliasing service (I use Addy.io) so when email are exposed in a data breach you can just turn it off and avoid spam. Also good for when your trying different emails out because you just have to update what the aliases send to.

I use Posteo, honestly I don’t think it matters much what you choose, anything will be better than Google, encryption is nice but only works if both people have it. Your emails will be as secure as the other address.

The real problem is when people gatekeep cool open source projects. Not a great way to grow a community.

Not necessarily. People could have an outlook similar to “a person is smart, people are idiots”
