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.

I know about omarchy and seen that guy interviewed a couple of times. How the fuck am I just now aware he is a nazi? He seemed egotistical for sure, and his contribution to open source is .. basically his personal dotfiles? I think that this shit was still completely devoid of extermination of minorities manifestos and hatespeech. But seriously how do you know if someone wants to kill refugees? why doesn't he say so in the interviews or in the source code so we can know? This is fucked up. A faschist idea would be to keep a list. But omg, if you want to exterminate children that fled from war, please just say so in your dotfiles! Idk why this bothers me so.. I really do care if my config was made by a hateful hand even if it doesn't show

I partially blame people with big audiences that keep hyping him up and platforming him. Primeagen interviewed him on YouTube and was worshipping him the entire video. Embarrassing display.
