*Slop warning: Both KeePassXC and Bitwarden are currently, afaik, accepting LLM contributions. There was a bit of drama when KeePassXC started doing it, which led to a slop free fork, ChiPass, which I'm hoping to switch to in the future but is currently not capable of running on my computer […]

If you're a developer you should do yourself a big favor and listen to Richard Feldman's "Software Unscripted" podcast. I'm kicking myself for not having discovered this great listen a lot sooner than I did.

I'm starting to read Thucydides "The History of the Peloponnesian War." If I'm not back in a week, send a search party 🤪
Seriously though it's one of those books I feel that I should read at some point in my life.
