The dev "owes us" as people to not be a shitty person, or at the very least, we should expect them not to be one. It absolutely is a slap in the face to people who trusted that project and the person heading it to not be shit, because they are now being shit, and people are right to call them out. Because they're being shit.

Also you're right, more people should donate to FLOSS projects that they love and use frequently, as do I. As someone with no programming knowledge, it's all I can do aside from recommending your software to others. Wanna know one way to ensure I'll not only withhold donations but warn others not to use or trust your software? Defending and/or using AI slop machines.
