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.

He got a recent interview with one of the YouTubers I follow and I'm must say I'm a bit sad to not see people calling him out https://youtu.be/_CuibYl_Fh0?is=f6p3aQv4iPmdqiH1

It was probably a condition of the interview. :(

of Omacom, the nonprofit foundation that oversees a popular Linux distribution known as Omarchy.

popular?! According to whom?

[–] Nurgus@lemmy.world 5 points 1 hour ago

All seven users.

Keep in mind that internal fights among community discourage users from shifting and benefit Microsoft. I would not be surprised if the smear campaign is a big tech initative.

That's right. But are you suggesting we just sweep it under the rug and ignore the support of racist people? Because that is what big tech does and not a lot of people like it

When/how/why did DHH fall off so bad? There was a time when he was (at least vocally) shitting on Jeff Bezos, Chamath, and a few other "friends"

[–] t3rminus@lemmy.world 8 points 3 hours ago

Probably around the time he started writing blog posts about how there’s too many brown people in London, or comparing Romani to invasive predator species?

Being against a few horrible people doesn’t automatically make you a good guy…

Interesting case of how funding decisions can quickly become part of a much bigger conversation around tech, politics, and community trust. It will be interesting to see how this develops.

I cancelled my 1password sub after their absurd price hike late last year

[–] HostilePasta@lemmy.ml 11 points 9 hours ago (7 children)

Well damn, guess I'll be cancelling and switching when my subscription renews. Suggestions for replacement?

Like $10/year... Stupid cheap for piece of mind and haven't had a data breach yet.

[–] Joelk111@lemmy.world 11 points 4 hours ago

Vault Warden if they're interested in self hosting.

[–] Takeshidude@lemmy.world 11 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

KeePass + Syncthing

Completely local vault in sync with however many endpoints you need

[–] HostilePasta@lemmy.ml 3 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Is that a FOSS thing? Never done that before. Are there decent guides for getting it set up?

[–] ExLisper@lemmy.curiana.net 1 points 2 hours ago

It's FOSS and easy to set up. KeePass simply stores everything in a file and you use Syncthing to sync this file between devices. Syncing is optional, if you just need you password on desktop you don't need it.

KeePass has pretty bad UX when compared with Bitwarden though. Bitwarden/Vaulwarden is the best solution IMHO but it's really difficult to set up.

I've emailed their customer service explaining why I'll be dropping them as soon as my subscription renews.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 28 points 13 hours ago

As bad as the "Nazi bar" problem seems to be in FOSS at the moment, it is definitely heartening to consistently see how immediate and overwhelming the pushback has been. I think it says a lot about the community, and it's a good thing.

[–] Suavevillain@lemmy.world 11 points 15 hours ago

I never expected a mid hyprland preconfig to be tied to a person with Nazi views and cause this much issues.

[–] Avicenna@programming.dev 24 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

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