@kurtsh@mastodon.socialThe LA Marathon finish line is my neighborhood.
Super exciting walking outside with the celebs, broadcasts, helicopters & sponsors!
Not a whole lotta fun if you need to go anywhere in the morning. 🤷#LAmarathon #LosAngeles
@mgorny@social.treehouse.systemsSince my job is stable now and I have saved up some money, I have decided to stop accepting donations via GitHub Sponsors and Ko-fi. I would like to thank everyone who helped me over the years. There are people who need the help much more than me right now.
If you needed a suggestion, @… is doing a lot more than me for #Gentoo these days and will certainly appreciate your help. He's also way nicer than I'll ever be.

To the best of my knowledge, Gentoo project does not need extra money right now, but there are other awesome projects such as Disroot or many Fediverse instances that would definitely use some help. However, in general I'd suggest towards supporting individuals rather than projects: people need money to live, and can use your donations directly, while projects are often bound by red tape.
Finally, please support human artists and craftspeople (and I'm counting human software developers in that). Donate to projects and people who resist enshittification and who refuse to use LLMs. They need the money.
Once again, thanks for all.

Das Initiative „Lebensbäume“ soll über private Sponsoren – Unternehmen und Einzelpersonen – finanziert werden. Die Sponsoren erhalten eine Urkunde und je nach Sponsoringhöhe einen Schlüsselanhänger oder einen Holzspecht. Neben den konkreten Erhalt der Totholzbäume findet auch begleitende Bewusstseinsbildung für, Grundbesitzer*innen und für Mitarbeiter*innen des Sponsors statt.
@kingconsult@berlin.social🙌 A huge thank you to everyone who made #2MR possible: all the speakers, guests, moderators, sponsors, the wonderful people at Bucerius Law School, and everyone else! 🙏
We’ll try to have video footage available by the end of the week. Photos are already up on the website: https://2mr.social
Thank you for making this happen.

@mgorny@social.treehouse.systems#Microsoft really doesn't want you to stop using #GitHub Sponsors.
So apparently I can't stop people from sponsoring me myself. And I can't disable #GitHubSponsors either, because I have people sponsoring me. The only thing I can do is to contact support and ask them to handle it.
Fortunately, there's a ready support link with pre-filled form. Except it doesn't work anymore, so you have to go through the new support request form yourself. And after you write the message yourself, it is fed to a completely useless LLM that tells you how to disable account. Except that the process doesn't work, because as the bottom hint notes, if you have any active sponsors, you need to contact support instead 🤦. Well, at least it eventually lets you send that support request.
At least #KoFi lets you remove memberships yourself. It also lets you remove the account entirely but apparently not deactivate it. For that, there's apparently a support request. Sent one, let's see how it goes.
