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.

I wouldn't have heard of Omarchy if not for the controversies of its creator. So yeah that is one way to become popular.

Controversy? Never.

Sick thing is, you can say the most outrageous shit, and since you have a direct pipeline to billions of people online, you'll always find some fumb ducks to pay you.

Welcome to the post-MLM economy! You don't even influence people, you just say what they want to hear, and they'll influence others for you! Jesus christ.
