Agreed, GPG is not the most intuitive tool, but once you are familiar enough with it, it opens some doors.
For me termux and pass (from F-droid) have solved my password management for many years. I never have to struggle finding passwords. The security aspect of it is the least I care about, it's the convenience and simplicity of it.
Since the passwords are all just files on a disk inside a directory tree, you can use any old file system tools to find your passwords. Same for MFA. I store the base32 string inside pass and that's the end of it.
I use pass also on my phone in combination with Termux. I keep the passwords stores in sync using git. pass on android also supports copying your password directly into the clipboard, which is especially nice on a mobile device.
Perhaps we should stop calling open-source software "free" due to the stigma that comes with it. It's no longer a selling point, nor should it have been.
There are about 5.5 billion people on the internet. Firefox's "small" market share of ~5% is still about 250 million users.
I'm reasonably sure that a small fraction of those 250 million people are even aware of the concept of "Free Software" or "Open Source", or how it relates to Firefox.
Open does not imply any freedoms. A software source could be openly put in the public but without license, hence you would not be free to use it nor to learn from it.
I rely heavily on my shell's history file for my productivity and practically store history entries indefinitely along with a time stamp. I wondered if it was possible to use this data to create a heatmap of how active I have been on the terminal for each day.
In this space, probably the biggest effect might be that HW vendors of DJ kit cannot fork this software to bundle with their HW and avoid sharing their improvements back, so people using other HW can still benefit.
