Having met with both sides on the current RubyCentral/RubyGems situation, here's my take:
- RubyCentral have managed this exceptionally poorly in many ways including removing literally the most active member of the RubyGems organisation by mistake who has declined to return

There isn't a single apology or even recognition of bad decisions. Once again the generic "we need to move forward" bullshit.
So yeah, that taste will remain for the foreseeable future.

Accessibility isn't a feature.
Something that's not accessible is unusable and that should be a major programming mistake, also known as bug.

It's now part of my first use process to completely remove all copilot shit.
That and the shit move where they increase everyone's office 365 subscription price to have access to copilot with a pretty difficult path to downgrade...

It is extremely obvious that whomever handled my support requests did not even attempt to reproduce any of the issues as I've been asked to make a screenrecording "if the issue still persists". The only issues they noted for "future improvements" have already been fixed weeks ago.
What's the point?

It's now the 22nd of December. I just received a "response" to all the other support requests I made.
The response ranges from "your feedback is valuable" to a proverbial please go fuck yourself. Accessibility issues are not "nice suggestions to track". Generic responses after 1 month are not okay
