-
-In 2022 rubygems.org decided to make 2FA mandatory for every gem owner:
-see https://blog.rubygems.org/2022/06/13/making-packages-more-secure.html
-
-As I can not use 2FA, for reasons I will skip explaining here (see
-various github issue discussions in the past), this effectively means that
-Betty Li and others who run the show at rubygems.org will perma-ban me
-from using rubygems as a developer.
-
-As I disagree with that decision completely, this will mean that all my
-gems will be removed from rubygems.org prior to that sunset date, e. g.
-before they permanently lock me out from the code that I used
-to maintain. It is pointless to want to discuss this with them anymore -
-they have made up their minds and decided that you can only use

+want to promote any Google service anymore when the user becomes the end

+proxy-services). My feeling is that this is a hugely flawed business model
+to begin with, and I no longer wish to support this in any way, even if
+only indirectly so, such as by using services of companies that try to
+promote this flawed model.
+
+In regards to responding to emails: please keep in mind that responding 
+may take some time, depending on the amount of work I may have at that
+moment. So it is not that emails are ignored; it is more that I have not
+(yet) found the time to read and reply. This means there may be a delay
+of days, weeks and in some instances also months. There is, unfortunately,
+not much I can do when I need to prioritise my time investment, but I try
+to consider <b>all</b> feedback as an opportunity to improve my projects
+nonetheless.
+
+In <b>2022</b> rubygems.org decided to make 2FA mandatory for every
+gem owner eventually:
+
+see
+https://blog.rubygems.org/2022/06/13/making-packages-more-secure.html
+
+Mandatory 2FA will eventually be extended to all rubygems.org developers and
+maintainers. As I can not use 2FA, for reasons I will skip explaining here,
+this means that my projects will eventually be removed, as I no longer
+have any control over my projects hosted on rubygems.org (because I
+can not use 2FA).
+
+At that point, I no longer have any control what is done to my projects
+since whoever is controlling the gems ecosystem took away our control
+here. I am not sure at which point ruby became corporate-controlled -
+that was not the case several years ago, so something has
+changed.
+
+Ruby also only allows 2FA users to participate on the issue tracker these
+days:
+
+  https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/18800
+
+But this has been reverted some months ago, so it is no longer applicable.
+Suffice to say that I do not think that we should only be allowed to
+interact on the world wide web when some 'authority' authenticated us,
+such as via mandatory 2FA, so I hope this won't come back again.
+
+Fighting spam is a noble goal, but when it also means you lock out
+real human people then this is definitely NOT a good situation
+to be had.
