It's certainly different, but for signal users who want to maintain that level of privacy, it's probably something they want, right? From their perspective this is probably a good decision.

I'm indifferent because I'd personally rather have interoperability and Beeper gets the job done.

I'm indifferent, since I've got both installed, there's no escaping having to use WhatsApp in many countries around the globe. If I want to keep in touch with family/friends then only one or two contacts use signal, for everyone else it's WhatsApp or the alternative is SMS.

I'm also indifferent though because of I want the interoperability, Beeper is doing fine.

That would probably be because your instance is different. Lemmy.world has recently blocked VPN traffic apparently because of bad actors uploading CSAM behind VPN. I also had issues with Lemmy with my VPN this week and either need to split tunnel or need to browse Lemmy as view-only.

I prefer manuals, they're more fun to drive, but the future is inevitably automatic with EVs.

Testing it out, doesn't seem to work with Connect though, needs to be through a browser.

Saying "I don't need privacy because I've got nothing to hide" is like saying "I don't need free speech because I've got nothing to say".

Been a longtime user of Bitwarden (free, and over the last year paid). It's a straightforward/good but a bit boring UI, connects very well and easily into browser, phone etc. Works well, highly recommended, and having 2FA on paid version is awesome.

Been trying out Proton Pass for the last few days since I already pay for Proton Unlimited. It's got a good UI and so far it's been working well in Firefox and on my phone. It's much better integration with Simple Login features so I like the slightly more seemless sign-up ability. It's not 100% feature parity with Bitwarden paid though.

Bottom line - I prefer proton pass as a heavy proton user already BUT if I just wanted a standalone password manager, Bitwarden is probably better. Both are good options though, and competition is good.

I left pocket casts before they went the sub model. antennapod is my app of choice and works perfectly.
