1Password wades into a right-wing mess after funding a Linux project

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.

Obviously growing in popularity. That’s what aggressive marketing usually gets you.

If you don’t like that, perhaps consider stop talking about it, and him. Instead, every second day somebody writes an article about “DHH is fascist”. What the fuck do they think the effect of those articles is?

Are people actually so dumb that they think accusing him of fascism will make him disappear? That’s like high-octane clickbait fuel.

Same with Trump. It’s garmonbozia.

The DistroWatch Page Hit Ranking statistics are a light-hearted way of measuring interest in Linux distributions and other free operating systems among the visitors of this website. They correlate neither to usage nor to quality and should not be used to measure the market share of distributions. They simply show the number of times a distribution page on DistroWatch was accessed each day, nothing more.
