@eff This is a "boycott all, no exceptions" issue. Close all accounts that ask for age verification, there will be plenty of alternatives hosted in places the US South and EU Chat Control goons cannot reach

What strikes me most about this acquisition isn't the AI angle. It's the question of why so many open source tools get built by startup teams in the first place.
I maintain an open source project funded by the Sovereign Tech Fund. Getting there wasn't easy: the application process is long, the amounts are modest compared to a VC round, and you have to build community trust before any of that becomes possible. But the result is a project that isn't on anyone's exit timeline.
I'm not saying the startup path is without its own difficulties. But structurally, it offloads the costs onto the community that eventually comes to depend on you. By the time those costs come due, the founders have either cashed out or the company is circling the drain, and the users are left holding the bag. What's happening to Astral fits that pattern almost too neatly.
The healthier model, I think, is to build community first and then seek public or nonprofit funding: NLnet, STF, or similar. It's slower and harder, but it doesn't have a built-in betrayal baked into the structure.
Part of what makes this difficult is that public funding for open source infrastructure is still very uneven geographically. I'm based in Korea, and there's essentially nothing here comparable to what European developers can access. I had no choice but to turn to European funds, because there was simply no domestic equivalent. That's a structural problem worth taking seriously. The more countries that leave this entirely to the private sector, the more we end up watching exactly this kind of thing play out.

every time i see payphones for sale it makes me ache because i have no need for them right now, and someday i will have a need for one, and by that time it will be way too late to easily find one, but i can't exactly shill out $100 for more project junk i don't need...

Ammousa Beach, Lefkada (Grecia)
Video della giornata: https://youtu.be/20rveT0jIAM
Qui non servono descrizioni: una delle spiagge su cui persino io, sardo, non posso dire nulla.
Fantastica.
