Unnecessary drama as usual...
Unnecessary drama as usual...
The one demanding it is the maintainer of keepassxc it would’ve been better to just close the issue that this is a Debian only problem and he should install it like that and just close it.
In fact not having it encourages copy and paste which reduces security.
Whats next? Strip javascript support from browsers to reduce the attack surface?
I don't get how this is even a discussion. Either he is paid by canonical to be a corporate saboteur or he is completely insane.
now this is separate from being open for discussion if someone has some good arguments (which aren't "you break something which isn't supported and only nich used") and some claim he isn't open for arguments
and tbh. if someone exposes users to actual relevant security risk(1) because the change adds a bit of in depth security(2) and then implicitly denounces them for "wanting crap" this raises a lot of red flags IMHO.
(1): Copy pasting passwords is a very bad idea, the problem is phsishing attacks with "look alike" domains. You password manager won't fill them out, your copy past is prone to falling for it. In addition there are other smaller issues related to clip board safety and similar (hence why KC clears the clipboard after a short time).
(2): Removing unneeded functionality which could have vulnerabilities. Except we speak about code from the same source which if not enabled/setup does pretty much nothing (It might still pull in some dependencies, tho.)
but yes very unnecessary drama
