@xgranade@wandering.shop That last sentence crystallizes something that's been bugging me for a while.
I've infinitely put off work on personal projects lately because a lot of them depend on an OSS meta-framework /static site generator that has now been slop for a while, and I would rather migrate off of it to continue, but that adds a whole lot of extra work that I never signed up for and, if people had morals and brains, I wouldn't have been put in this situation.
No wonder I'm tired.

@kgf@hachyderm.io @xgranade@wandering.shop I don't want to tell you what to do, so apologies if this is unwelcome "advice". But I find it helpful to remember the premise of free software is that what we've already got we own forever and can do with it as we like. We don't have to accept their "new version" with slop. If the thing we already had met our needs, we can continue using it forever and nobody can take that away from us.
