It’s not about the price itself. It’s about the lack of transparency. Not being open with a 100% increase is not a good look.

Sadly you’re not grandfathered. You’ll get a 25% discount for the first year if you’re already a paying customer.

Yes indeed.

Sorry!

I had my renewal email come through today. Here is what is says: Your Bitwarden Premium subscription renews in 15 days. The price is updating to $1.65/month, billed annually. As an existing Bitwarden customer, you will receive a one-time 25% loyalty discount for this year’s renewal. This renewal will now be billed annually at $14.85 + tax.

That’s fine. If people want to work in an inefficient manner and waste time, I’m not gonna stop them. I will take advantage of AI and I’m happy to do so. It makes my job within IT easier and that’s nice!

You seem to think that stack overflow conatins all the answers to everything. The AI can search and look through the web faster than any human on the planet, yes that includes stack overflow, but also forums and other open websites, anything that can be indexed basically.

Often times when you have an issue, it’s very rare that you are the first one to have it, so I’d say all the info you need to solve it is already out there and AI do a fantastic job to help you find an answer to your problem quicker than your could ever do yourself. Why not take advantage?

Why not remove the search function from stack overflow, you could just read all the questions and articles yourself to find the most sutible one for your question. It’s quite nice to have a server that can look though all questions available and suggest to you which ones are the best for you based on your search term. It’s exacly that, but way borader. How is that not a good thing?

lol no. That’s now what I said at all. I was refering to chatgpt, claude of what ever flavour of AI you wanna use…

I don’t think you know at all where I’m coming from. You don’t seem to understand how great AI are at documentation. I’d rather ask an AI than browse the mint forums reading decades old threads that won’t lead to anything anyways. That’s just wasting time. What’s your argument?

Learning how to use a Linux distribution like Mint doesn’t require any special degree or knowledge. I’d say you can do that in a weekend or so. Especially since you can ask the AI about everything and it’s surprisingly good at Linux questions and terminal commands, although you don’t really need those for Mint.

If you’ve never been into Microslop Windows, navigating their piece of shit os can be equally as daunting since you are not free to do what you want, you can only do what MS want you to do which is completely counterintuitive to what Linux is.

Just because something is the market leader, doesn’t make it good or better than the alternative.

I get that you don’t care for Linux, and that’s fine but if you are the slightest interested in IT, you’re doing yourself a disservice not learning it.
