Re:On Password Managers on Friday July 21, 2017 @12:15PM (#14821668)
I was using an old version of 1Password, it stopped working for me on Sierra so I went to upgrade and the upgrade page had broken images and talked about working on El Capitan. I sent a support ticket (in February) in to make sure the upgrade would work on Sierra and had a back and forth where they ultimately said, "Like you saw, that web page hasn't been updated in awhile as Sierra is the latest macOS. Knowing that there is a better way to do things, in good faith we couldn't continue to sell a lesser product like the stand-alone license. Due to this, we are moving away from the stand-alone license and heading to higher and better pastures."

I got a marketing email about a week later from Dave Teare and replied expressing my disappointment that publicly they're saying the stand-alone model will continue indefinitely but privately, they're "moving away" from the "lesser product" that they couldn't in good conscience sell me any longer. No reply.

The actions of Agile Bits are not matching the words in my experience and that's a big deal given the type of software they sell.

>There's something greatly fucked up about our society when we help our dogs die with more dignity than we do ourselves.

When my Mom died (complications from cancer and trying to remove it), she was essentially allowed to suffocate over the course of 24 hours while we slowly delivered her pain meds. We could request more pain meds every certain number of times. I had to sit there watching my Mom suffocate so that everyone could have the plausible deniability of being the one that actually were the straw that broke the camel's back and caused her death. Everyone knew she was going to die, the decision was made not to go any further, and we let her endure another 24 hours of suffering.

I had to put my dog down a few months earlier and the whole time staring at my Mom suffering, I thought exactly what you just said. It's a sad society when my dog has more dignity in death than my Mom.
