                                    AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

                                    Meta employees are rapidly using up their annual $2,000 flexible benefit and a $200 audio‑gear credit—buying items like Apple AirPods—on the eve of a scheduled layoff of roughly 8,000 workers, roughly 10 % of its 80,000‑strong workforce. As the company prepares to cut jobs to free cash for AI data‑center investments, offices have grown empty, staff are polishing résumés, meeting off‑site, and sharing checklists of perks to claim before they disappear. Morale is low, with many feeling “paralyzed,” “coasting,” or “panicked,” especially after being reassigned to new AI teams and subjected to increased surveillance; Meta also plans to restructure the remaining 70,000 employees, moving 7,000 to AI initiatives and converting many managers to individual contributors, affecting a total of about 20 % of staff either through layoffs or role changes.

Even in , often when you ask for an enhancement you either get a "no, too hard" or "submit PR and then maybe lmao". With that pushback it makes sense that people have decided they've had enough of not being considered important enough and just making a tool yourself. Even well-established projects like , etc. have been steadily backsliding over the last decade so what's a person to do?
                                                                                                                                                                                                                      It absolutely means there's likely a lot of tools out there that may very well be doing things insecurely or inefficiently, and the developer might not even know. So now it becomes a responsibility question: do we blame the dev, who isn't a dev, for doing dev wrong, or the user for trusting what they feel is now their only/best option? THis is where accessibility negligence has taken us.
