Bitwarden New CEO has extensive M&A, Private equity experience, Removes Transparency from its Motto (www.fastcompany.com)

I find this move concerning, and wish that the Founder had looked for a new CEO that shared his values rather than a Private Equity and Mergers Expert.

Furthermore, the change to the GRIT motto is worrying. Trust is useless without Transparency when it comes to code and security.

From the article

Update: After publication, an employee on the Bitwarden subreddit said that “Always free” had been restored on its pricing page, calling it an “oversight” by the marketing team. The product page for Bitwarden’s personal password manager remains unchanged.

Don't care. Being owned by a private equity bro is enough for me ✌️

Sounds someone was caught doing silly stuff... it will be interesting how this will develop in the future.

It's the investor obsession with forever growth. It ruins everything.

i guess unregulated capitalism is inherently entropic.. since its utlimately a system that consumes itself until everything is gone and it dies and returns to background radiation.
