#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 ๐Ÿคฆ. 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.

Moin @Dickmaulruessler, thank you very much ๐Ÿ’ for sponsoring my work on the 39C3 Schedule app for Android project https://github.com/sponsors/johnjohndoe via #GitHubSponsors. Thumbs up ๐Ÿ‘

I've never used it for personal stuff, only for work, but since it's always a "process" to get an organization to #donate, here's to small personal donations to support #OpenSource #OSS and say their work is appreciated.

I admit, GitHub has made it really easy with #GitHubSponsors and they don't charge individuals a fee.

Today's donation went to:
