All these HN submissions should be merged.

Kolide’s post has the usual corporate fluff:

> First, Kolide’s product isn’t going anywhere. More importantly, we (the humans of Kolide) aren’t going anywhere. As part of 1Password, we expect our roadmap to both accelerate and become more ambitious. As a fully intact team, we are continuing to build, iterate, support, and sell Kolide within 1Password. If your experience with us changes, our expectation is that it’s only because it got better.

Based on 1Password’s hostile attitude to its customers and its money hungry business model, I would think twice before starting to using Kolide at this point.

Well, this is concerning.
why?
The products I’ve paid for and enjoyed for years usually become worse when businesses feel they need to spend more of their resources on b2b.

Basically, enshittification.
