1Password and 37signals each pledge $100K a year to Omarchy
Omarchy: 1Password and 37signals become Distinguished Corporate Patrons
The Omacom Foundation's first two Distinguished Corporate Patrons, 1Password and 37signals, are each contributing $100,000 annually for three years, boosting the foundation's funding to $12.6 million. 1Password has supported Omarchy from the start, while 37signals, which incubated the project, has already moved its technical team to the OS. The foundation emphasizes that corporate and individual contributions buy the same recognition, with no strings attached.
There’s no quid pro quo here. Omarchy will always base its decisions on what makes for the very best malleable OS in the world.

I can't even believe this. What an extraordinarily stupid decision.

This actually sounds like the literal definition of quid pro quo.

How much money is going upstream? Like hyprland and arch? Omarchy is basically just a script all the work is being done by otherpeople.

Why is this succeeding while other OSS funding initiatives have failed? These companies were just waiting to be sure their money would go to a confirmed Nazi?

I can't quite put my finger on it but this rush to astroturf Omarchy just has bad vibes all around. DHH has been on a politician-level campaign to fund/promote what seems like a fun nerd project. Call me paranoid but it all just comes across as dubious.

Why such a dislike towards DHH? More people using Linux surely is a good thing.
Edit: I was curious and it was a genuine question, not sure why all the down-votes.
