1Password wades into a right-wing mess after funding a Linux project (www.theverge.com)

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.

Why does Omarchy even need this money when it’s run by a billionaire?

This song have just been sent to Arch or some Linux foundations.

Because there are multiple Linux options, once the commercial versions flood in, the most marketed will grab the biggest share of the uninformed populace. So obviously the billionaires want to wrestle control over it.

Thankfully it looks so unserious that it will not capture anyone except 'windows/mac power users'.

So the majority of people.
