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 think proton dodged a bullet as the comment of the CEO was only not okay, but not like super bad. But if you funnel 300k to a openly racist idiot, that’s super bad. Same with Mullvad. As soon as money flows, you are immediately batshit crazy.
