Let me get this straight.

They acknowledge the foundation is closely associated with DHH

Yet also try to claim that they are separable?

What a load of horseshit.

it's a cop-out answer.

Where's Jeff?

Oh he is in prison for murdering his wife.

What? I never would have thought. Does that mean he can't bring his tzatziki to the BBQ? It was always so good.

Guess we have to "separate the artist from the art". Or "technology is just a tool".

Cowards.

To me, that reads as “we didn’t expect backlash from this and don’t yet know what we’ll do about it in the future”, which means: 1- telling them why worked (they know there’s backlash), and 2- if more people tell them why they’ll probably have to figure out whether or how to change things (which requires various people to listen to customer support as an org, etc, which is hard).

Which is (and i say this positively, not nihilistically) the best kind of response i would expect from a company of that size.

Ok, but they don't see that one follows not from the other? Supporting open source projects does not automatically imply supporting a specific dotfile collection's money-laundry. For example they could just give the money to Arch directly.

Come to think of it, a way to save face would be to sever ties with Omarchy and give double the amount to Arch.

I’d been with 1Password since 2008, I think — their first iPhone app, maybe? Moved away from it to Apple Passwords last year. Couldn’t justify their increasingly expensive annual fee when they’d clearly pivoted away from individuals & small businesses towards large, corporate clients.

I’m lucky to have no Android or Windows devices, so this was easy for me. I don’t envy people now faced with choosing a new password manager.

Seeing “Mackay” — with the same, relatively uncommon capitalization I use — at the bottom of the response you got from 1Password only made me sad.

Someone whom I'm rudely not crediting (sorry, I forgot your username!) put it best:

> We recognize that the NSDAP is closely associated with its founder, and that raises questions about what our support means. Our contribution is made to the NSDAP, not to an individual, and is not an endorsement of any individual's personal or political views.

I received the exact same response, word for word, which is understandable

I do wish they didn't downplay it so much

Tone deaf, along with Framework and Mulvad (for different reasons).

1Password is listed as a supporter on that projects site along with DHH. That means they support his brand of fascism.

kudos to them for supplying a meaningful response 😊.

@bitwarden is a great product, btw ... have been using it for several years for our entire family

good I guess that you got a human response, but sadly, a corporate word salad so not valuable (imo).

You did better than I did when leaving Mullvad - I explicitly said it was because of their co-founders continued patronage of the far right party in Sweden and said I'd be pleased to return once he had no financial interest in the business.

Annoyed af because Proton is nowhere near as good as Mullvad, but cannot support fash.

People must not fund, support or interact with fascist, racist, white supremacist rich people who own tech companies.

If companies dont reject a fascist path, we must reject them.

Its in our hands the power to stop them and built a better world with respect and empathy. Hate and violence are not the way.

"We contributed to an organization, which, unlike people, can do no evil. Even if its members are evil people"

BULLSHIT

That sounds like a pile of bullshit to me. If they had done 5 minutes of Googling, they would have known exactly how their support of Omacom would be perceived by large parts of the developer and open-source communities.

People don't usually tend to throw heaps of money at random foundations with no research about who they are and what they're in the news for. At this point, one has to assume that anyone who chooses to support Omarchy does it because of DHH's views, not despite them.
