https://divestos.org/pages/news#end This is very unfortunate. We should remove DivestOS, Mull, and Hypatia from the recommendations.

Aw crud, that really happened out of nowhere. I wonder why? I thought fundraising had been generally successful… I guess it is back to basic Firefox/Fennec with uBO for me…

And thank you everyone :slight_smile:

Man can I just say I am incredibly impressed and grateful for your work, I’ve been blown away by mull/mulch/hypatia. Seriously thank you so much for everything.

I think we should draw lessons from this. It isnt the first time a project on the shoulders of one person just dissapears. Quite sad to see this go nevertheless without much clarification.

[image] ph00lt0: without much clarification I’ve worked on this project a decade. That is a long time and I need to move on in life.

Note I dont blame you and I get that. Nevertheless it makes me trust projects that are a oneman show even less.

That’s often the problem with projects that lack both financial power and manpower. Sad thing but understandable. @anon63378630 I wish you all the best and thank you for what you have done! Maybe there are people out there who want to fork some of your projects and go on developing them.

I know fennec isn’t formally recommended but how does this affect fennec’s development since they contributed to it as well?
