       Today Sparkfun is dropping @adafruit over CoC violations, and what timeline even is this? https://www.sparkfun.com/official-response

       @geerlingguy @adafruit i posted this on hackernews - hi, phil here — post on adafruit here: https://blog.adafruit.com/2026/01/12/discontinuing-the-teens...i’ll stop back and answer anything (sparkfun will not?).sparkfun is the exclusive maker and distributor of the closed-source teensy and informed us we will not be able to purchase the teensy. this happened after i sent an email reporting the founder, nate, for multiple harassing actions directed at limor, including behavior by him and a former employee.

       @geerlingguy @adafruit instead of addressing that, they decided to kill the messenger, me, and also cut us off from teensy.so! instead of posting weirdo "code of conduct" letters, we are doing an open-source alternative. so customers are not stranded, and this is not a supply chain emergency for us. looking forward to seeing which one delights customers more.

       @geerlingguy @adafruit as much as nate wants to continue trying to damage limor’s business and adafruit by scraping our site, and now potentially not paying royalties owed after more than a decade of consistent payments, that’s nothing new. it’s a business strategy to cut others out, not a mystery or a “private drama.”

       @geerlingguy @adafruit this is exactly why we do open source. when a closed product or exclusive channel is used as leverage, the correct response is to remove the leverage.sparkfun chose to publish a vague public accusation. once you do that, speculation is inevitable.ask away!

       @geerlingguy some of the fallout can be found on fediverse, but apparently it mostly happened on bsky?

       @shironeko Sheesh, following random links in different threads, I've seen conversations on Mastodon (a number of instances), Bluesky, Twitter(X), a Teensy forum post, HN...It's honestly hard to follow and the context makes little sense still.
