Well, time to switch it is. I can't justify more than a couple of dollars a year for a password manager. Also artificial limits, especially when companies limit existing features like this piss me off (cough google photos cough). Why not add new features and make them premium only?

Plus I recently changed my Lastpass password and they had added symbol/number requirements since the last time I had changed the password and it would not let me use just a word based password. Bitwarden let me without issues.

Checking out the extension now, it's also much easier to use than Lastpass. For me I don't care, but for my parents the Lastpass chrome extension interface is really confusing.

On the one hand, I tend to agree that changning existing features to paid is not-great (disclaimer, I was paying for Google Photos/One/Whatever even before they announced the changes), I wouldn't call space limits "artificial"


Yes, perhaps that wasn't the best example, the issues get lumped together in my head.

But for google, I believe the issue was people were abusing it. The proper solution would have been to stop the abuse, not what they did. Or for example, they might have removed unlimited video uploads which would make more sense, or had soft limits. Also you can't tell me google did not foresee this happening, which just tells me they used the free storage as a lure.


Why isn't it artificial? If they already had sync between devices, making it unavailable is purely artificial.


The reply to me correctly pointed out that I compared it to the new google photos storage restrictions which could be interpreted as not being artificial, not that the lastpass restriction aren't.


More repos need to do this. If it's not too big it can be stuck in development.md which is where I usually stick it.

It makes it so much more likely that I'll contribute with a proper PR. There's some codebases I would have liked to contribute to but they were so complicated and with so few comments I just gave up and only reported the bug / made a feature request. Even worse when they have complicated undocumented build systems.


Okay but what really bothers me are square powdered juice packets. This is the only way powdered juice comes in my country and we're all poor and re-fill soda bottles, so WHY the hell are they square? Powder spills everywhere. Why are they not tube shaped. And why aren't there ones for small water bottles for on the go? One of these days I will write to the companies...


This is so odd to read, as in the US there are certainly tube-shaped single serving drink mixes (indeed, I have one sitting on my desk right now). For example: https://www.powdermixdirect.com/Gatorade-Sqwincher-Single-Se...


I lived in the US for a while but was never a heavy powdered juice drinker, but I don't remember these types. I think I remember some other tube shaped ones but not these energy drink ones. Is this a new thing? I feel I would have heard about powdered Gatorade. Sounds amazing.

It's so weird here too because everyone drinks powdered juice all the time, but that's the only format it comes in, it doesn't even come in bigger quantities in cans, which I know exist. For example, one of the brands we have is tang which comes in all sorts of packaging elsewhere, but only packets here...


If you haven't tried it already, given that you also have lower back pain, try a posturologist, if you can find one... It's hard to find much info/practitioners. I'm also not sure how legit some are. Usually I would avoid non-conventional treatments (though I have been taken by family to everything from osteopaths to chinese medicine practitioners), but previously similar fields (e.g. chiropractors) had sort of helped, so I went. It has literally changed my life. I had chronic headaches since I learned how to speak (they were not so often then). Me and my family had tried everything. I had progressed to the point where it was 24/7 pain, highly depressed, could not work/go to university. Within the month my pain was down 25%, within a year I was 50% better overall, no more 24/7 pain, started studying. Now I'm about to graduate. I still go once a month but am 90% better. I'm also not downing pills like crazy. I was on 3-4 a week (this was just to numb the bad episodes), now down to 2-3 a month (mostly due to me overexerting myself).

It does not work for everyone (it helped some family members with back pain but not others or not immediately so they stopped going), but can't hurt to try. It is very similar to going to a chiropractor but "softer" is how I would describe it. There is not as much cracking and popping. Half is stretches. There's lots of checking specific points for pain, also the whole body is looked at. And unlike chiropractors or massage therapists there is a noticeable change in mobility and posture and other things (for me decreased light sensitivity) after a visit.


I meant homeopaths, not osteopaths. Osteopaths might actually be quite similar to what I'm talking about but am not 100% sure.
