> Not owning the .com, letting this happen, and then letting your users get fucked for a year is so incompetent that it's less of a reach to assume the Keepass devs are simply in on it. > If you're buying a .info or adding "Origin" after your name, then it's time for a rebrand. You scrape together pennies in your stubbornness at the massive expense of filling the coffers of the bad actors and screwing your users with confusion. Especially for security software. So, apparently, according to you, not owning the .com equivalent to your non-.com domain means you're incompetent. Has it ever occurred to you that not everyone is from the USA? If you're supposed to own the .com domain anyway then why ever bother with non-.com domains? All non-.com domains are obsolete according to your reasoning, including .net and .org and CCTLDs. Also, this is non-commercial, free as in beer, FOSS. Where was your donation to the project?

Just to be clear, you quoted me enumerating a sequence of three things that together informed my judgement, yet you tried to refute my judgement by only responding to one of those things and thus mischaracterized my criticism in that process. Also, I think indifference is a better accusation here than incompetence. If I had to summarize my point of view across the various posts I've made here, it's that I think they are failing all the good folks who made the mistake of looking up Keepass after hearing that it would help them take an important step of cyber security in their life, getting fooled by an imposter, and getting pwned.

  "They're misquoting me! This is unfair!" Well, that is to keep it brief because there's not much to refute on the other two 'things'... > letting this happen, and then letting your users get fucked for a year Is out of their control. They're not responsible for Keepass.com. That's both simple and obvious. Apparently, if they put up some kind of banner on their website it'd be all cool and dandy? Do you feel the same about uBlock Origin? Let's get this straight. That uBlock Origin warns users that ublock.org is fake is a service. They do not owe you that service. They owe you two things: jack and squat. You sound like you're entitled, but I ask you again: what did you contribute to make the problem go away? Did you donate money to the problem? Did you contact the project?
