1Password faced immediate backlash from customers this week over a $300,000 pledge in support of a Linux distro created by David Heinemeier Hansson, who has regularly published overtly racist blog posts that include comments calling for deportation of ethnic minorities in Europe. The popular password manager is now a “distinguished corporate patron” of Omacom, the nonprofit foundation that oversees a popular Linux distribution known as Omarchy.

of Omacom, the nonprofit foundation that oversees a popular Linux distribution known as Omarchy.
popular?! According to whom?
All seven users.
From Omarchy’s site:
malleable OS for the age of agents. Where you can vibe your way through every alteration, tweak, and desire. Be the Omarch and command your agent!
Wtf
As bad as the “Nazi bar” problem seems to be in FOSS at the moment, it is definitely heartening to consistently see how immediate and overwhelming the pushback has been. I think it says a lot about the community, and it’s a good thing.
Out of the loop… “Nazi bar”?
Dunno if this is the best source but
I’ve emailed their customer service explaining why I’ll be dropping them as soon as my subscription renews.

Damnit. I just found out about Omarchy and was thinking about trying it out. Not anymore.
Cachyos will forever be the ideal Arch distro for nerds who want the benefits of Arch without the hassle of Arch (until they support some giant racist or soemthing)
Maybe I should sell my dotfiles? 🤔
I never expected a mid hyprland preconfig to be tied to a person with Nazi views and cause this much issues.
When/how/why did DHH fall off so bad? There was a time when he was (at least vocally) shitting on Jeff Bezos, Chamath, and a few other “friends”
Probably around the time he started writing blog posts about how there’s too many brown people in London, or comparing Romani to invasive predator species?
Being against a few horrible people doesn’t automatically make you a good guy…
They’re currently in the finding out phase.
He got a recent interview with one of the YouTubers I follow and I’m must say I’m a bit sad to not see people calling him out https://youtu.be/_CuibYl_Fh0?is=f6p3aQv4iPmdqiH1
It was probably a condition of the interview. :(
I cancelled my 1password sub after their absurd price hike late last year
I can see why the left is so messed up now.
Interesting case of how funding decisions can quickly become part of a much bigger conversation around tech, politics, and community trust. It will be interesting to see how this develops.
^ This is a bot
😂 No bot, it’s really me. I just tried to write a thoughtful comment that adds something to the discussion
kkkk
… Can we not just write shit down?
I don’t understand the need for this password keeper shit outside of a work/corporate environment.
Edit: the concept of writing really pissed you nerds off…
I have more than 300 logins. My password manager handles passkeys, 2FA and has integretad alias creation.
At some point you just can’t compare.
That feels excessive and I genuinely think y’all are paranoid about how often people are trying to hack you. Been running the same few for like a decade with no issues. Now I have a relatively low online footprint but still, the tech world in general is starting to feel like a form of psychosis.
The hard password you think of are actually very low entropy and easy to crack, the only good ones are random ones, which are hard to remember (except for the random words ones). It’s impossible to remember 200+ totally random password for a regular human
That’s why you write them down.
Yes and the password managers automate it such that you don’t have to write 20+ long random characters multiple times a day
You can’t just write down a secure password. It should be long enough to not be practical to write down on paper.
I do write stuff down. In my password manager so it’s always with me all the time and is much more difficult to gain access to than if I were carrying around a notepad. Also, I ain’t got pockets for that, and I’m not buying a wardrobe of cargo pants.
Write that shit down.
Ok Grandma and her password book.
The point:
Application unique passwords and MFA in the one package. Cross platform so I can use on phone and PC. Costs like $10/year. Also locks the credential and passkey to set URLs so phishing attacks are harder.
Write down passwords? The fuck are you talking about??
A fucking notebook you keep with password info at home? Like what is confusing about that.
The object itself isn’t confusing, it’s why someone would ever choose to do it
Why does this shit distro deserve all this funding and support? There’s many better options doing a lot more for the ecosystem yet this gets the attention. It’s don’t understand.
That’s the thing about real world. People don’t ask for permission to do things.
If you think you can do better, who’s stopping you?
It uses AI to fix issues and errors. And billionaires need people to use AI as much as possible.
to fix issues and errors
and create more issues and errors, like executing USB device names as root.
I think it’s time to start a company that produces excellent mice named rm -rf / --no-preserve-root then
it’s the circle of slop
Look! There’s a lion! Oh my god!
Nice reference bro!
But seriously what is the actual reason for the donation
Bundling of their stuff into the base installation, I suppose. With simple math, if 1password gets like 33k subscription payments, that’s about $100 000 already.
Omarchy got perhaps a 100K installations just last month.
They’re buying customers and visibility with a sum that’s probably pocket change for them.
Billionaires like racists?
Per @GreenBeard@lemmy.ca’s comment
I think we all know why. Whether having money causes racism, or it just so happens that racists are the ones with the money and they’re good at keeping it “In The Family” so to speak is kind of tangential and academic. It’s the hateful bigots that have the cash to fund big things, so if you want funding, it pays to be trashy.
They aren’t just racist, They also hate the poors and basically anyone that isn’t them.
I agree, but I suggest you direct your replies directly to the source comment. I’m just the messenger here.

This is what I think it is.
Very seldom is something funded that “deserves” it. The answer is that its’ creator (DHH) is very wealthy and connected.
1Password does not endorse hateful, dehumanizing, or exclusionary views, including those shared publicly by DHH.
Except… ya just did. Big 'ol cashy money endorsement.
Or did you forget about that already? Because we didn’t.
