First Winamp and now Bitwarden. The open source ecosystem is truly dead /s.
You didn’t read it then.
Wow, /s has really lost its meaning on the internet 😂
except that the case of winamp and bitwarden couldn't be more different.
If you think the meaning is "funny joke, upvotes to the left", no, it never meant that.
If you thnk they accidentally made a proprietary module, I have a bridge to sell you
If you don’t understand how easily this happens, you don’t understand how licenses work or the interplay involved in licensing packages, frameworks, and miscellaneous dependencies.
I've been programming for 20 years and have never seen this happen without a project manager wanting it to happen, I have however seen people lie about unpopular changes and call them bugs a whole bunch
Corporate lies to hide unpopular changes is basically the soup of the day. Every day. For as long as I can remember. I'm an old elephant.
