Like, don't get me wrong, I certainly understand the frustration of being criticized for (often unpaid) work, particularly if the criticisms are inaccurate in some way.
But when you're writing lengthy and loud posts about how you've been "attacked" and "harmed" and "misrepresented" and whatnot, but none of those posts ever actually make a concrete point about *what* exactly is being misrepresented, then I suspect there's something else going on.

Anyone else getting "looking for an excuse to stop doing it" impressions from this?

"You attacked us [by criticizing us publicly] so now we're pausing all work on accessibility" sure is a stance to take, hey

**update**: If you are using this post as some kind of call-to-action to harass and attack the GOS developers, please don't.
That damages everyone. You, them, and myself. It's not helpful.
**Update two**. I have made the decision to pull this post. It is not a good starting-point for a discussion, and just encourages defensiveness on both sides – when there really aren't sides here at all.
As a FOSS contributor, I am deeply ashamed at the way I approached this out of frustration.

LB: you should be an organ donor if you can. They do typically wait until you're done with the organ in question.
(Typically, there are some living donor things you can do, which are also awesome and good)

In those 10 years, homelessness up 575%.
In 2024, 15,000 people were homeless. 9,000 are families.
Cost? €361,000,000.
€40,111/family/year. €3,343pm
50% are homeless for over 1 year. 20% for over 2 years.
Median home price, €355,000.
Cost? 30 years at 3.0% - €1,496pm
€3,343pm clears that mortgage in 10 years.
We are spending more to keep people on the streets than in homes, with walls made of misery instead of brick. Build homes instead of excuses.

Pspol, uspol, guns, genocide, armed resistance
I don't mind armed resistance against genocide. When the alternative is letting your people starve and be bombed or shot, my opposition to weapons wanes.
If you know me, you know I hate guns, but my argument is not for those resisting colonization, ethnic cleansing, or genocide. I just want to make that clear. My argument is against white colonizers owning guns, because they are quite literally the problem we must fight against.
Every colonized people who won their land back used weapons from Vietnam to South Africa. If the alternative is slavery, starvation, and genocide, then defend your people how you see fit.
I don't expect people to die pretty for the camera.

From the StackOverflow blog:
"While many of you have been vocal about being tired about hearing about AI, it’s clear that the folks with the money aren’t getting tired of investing in it. On the podcast, I talk to people every week who are finding a niche for genAI"
Well, I guess StackOverflow is done pretending that they care about anyone but the rich people?
polycule household management
The most important whiteboard in the house is the crappy, tiny, practically-falling-apart paper-backed one that's stuck to the fridge; the shopping board, where everyone writes down the stuff that they need or that runs out, so that it can be acquired on the next groceries/shopping trip.
(In addition to a weekly stock check list to make sure we're still fully stocked on important stuff and cooking ingredients and such)

"But don't most tech companies and startups close down with very little notice?"
Yes. Exactly.
