@adafruit fuck off with this ai garbage

@adafruit I'm really sorry you have to deal with all that harassment :( There should not be a world where a person can talk down to another person like that.

I mostly lurk these days, but I've been trying to slowly learn physical electronics (I'm a software dev). Adafruit has been an invaluable resource for me. So whatever the trolls say, they are wrong. You have made a real difference to me and for others as well.

@adafruit continue to be a problem for assholes. i've lost interest in jlcpcb for months just because of tarriffs.

@adafruit When I read this, I was wondering: I’m a small french thingy. Is my support worth something?
Answer is yes, because there are groups of people with bad intentions that are loud, so our positive and supportive voice needs to be heard.

So, Adafruit, starting with Limor but including all the good people there: you were the reason I started to learn and enjoy DIY, electronics and sometimes crazy projects.

A billion thanks for all the work done and all the coming marvels! 💞
