The controversy surrounds David Heinemeier Hansson, who has posted strident anti-vax and anti-immigrant views
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.
One viral blog post declared that 1Password “Supports the Ethnic Cleansing of Europe” because of the donation. Others on social media asked for suggestions for alternative password managers so they would not support the funding of a project from Heinemeier Hansson, better known as DHH.
The only other corporate sponsor is 37signals, a company DHH is already involved with, so 1Password is kind of the first company to step in this particular shit. Maybe they can serve as a warning to other companies.
Based on this article I read, it seems like all of the companies are linked in some way with Shopify (which DHH is a board member of)
