If I worked at 1Password I would be pissed I wasn't getting a raise

As a long-time user and proponent of 1P, I guess I'm moving on.

I just looked at their website, there isn't a .88 price anywhere. If you select annual payment, it shows the price as "$3.99 per month, billed annually", which turns out to be the 47.88 from the article if you multiply it with 12.

ETA: I don't want to defend 1password, but we should criticize them for things they actually do. Like funding facists.

Jup, there's literally nothing going on from a design- or technical perspective. The guy pretty much just ships his Hyprland rice and calls it a distro. It's just part money-laundering, part promotion of ideals.

Man if only that money would have been sent to them and not this clown.

Logistically it doesn't even make sense. Like, it's only existed for maybe a month or so (at least, in the public mind). Are we to assume that a lot of people have decided to switch distros recently?

The distro comes with all of DHH's tools preinstalled so it happens to install 1Password too, so if they just count dumb installs it could very well be true even though almost no one uses it practice.

I have been using keepassXC on Linux and keepass2android offline on Android for the last years too!
I started with syncthing as a method of syncing the KeePass file, but now that I have all my files in nextcloud, I'm just using that.

Works flawlessly! Especially for me, as I am the only user.

This is the first time I see a conspiracy theory gain traction like that on Lemmy.

Please, do not fall for that bullshit.

Typical top-down leading issues.

Yeah, I don't get it either, and I don't get why this guy/project specifically gets funding... The only link I can see is that he's openly far-right, which might appeal to the "dudebro prepper" type of crowd.

How do you promote ideals through a Linux distro? Does it come with a standard swastika wallpaper or something? I bet most of the Omarchy users have no idea who DHH is...

All of this Omarchy stuff seems very astroturfed.

That stood out to me too. It comes preinstalled with Omarchy so thats something but also Omarchy has like, a thousand daily active users so even that doesn't sit right.

Yeah but even then, it's an extremely niche distro and 99.9% of Linux users using a password manager service are using bitwarden/vaultwarden. It just doesn't make sense.

I think the dev just has connections and the people donating don't understand what they're giving to.

"Astroturfed" implies an appearance of a grassroots campaign, here the dev has connections to wealthy people who give him money, that's really all there is to it.

Omarchy is shit distro, change my mind.

I think calling it a distro is pretty offensive to the maintaining actual distros

I was referring to all the YouTube stuff recently from folks I normally trust. Now I’m starting to question it.

workplaces will prefer any closed source product as long as they can pay them to pass the burden of maintaining it

This is unfortunately a side effect of "Year of the Linux Desktop". With adoption comes "market share" so...

It's on the radar now, of everyone who ruined everything else for us. They're gonna try to infect Linux with their cancerous greed and surveillance capitalism as well.

I've come to the point I just hate business. Ugh. Can't we just be fine and left alone?

Every dev I know who does knows who DHH is at least by association, he may be a nobody for regular people but he's a big name in our industry

AFAIK keepassXC is the c++ rewrite and runs on Linux, Mac and even windows
