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.

    now we need a fork/replacment for their shitty clients that have unreliable offline functionality and were on an EOL Electron for like 3 months, and for rbw which hasn’t been updated in ages and has compatibility issues with bitwarden.com now

      I hope someone makes a replacement rather than a fork, i reallly hate Electron, we need to hope for a fork of the browser extension too
      (Before anyone says anything: yes i thought of making it myself but i don’t really have expirience in security stuff and fluff so i’d rather wait for someone expirienced to do it)

        Agreed, Electron has so much weird behavior and is a bloated slow mess. My latest annoyance with Electron is that it has the keyrings hardcoded to the desktop environment instead of going through the proper DBus APIs which of course breaks on my own desktop environment and I have to add a flag to all of my Electron apps to work around this.
