even in the UK they still get announced as layoffs, employees get their access revoked, and they're in some sort of limbo while the consultations / process takes place.

Coming back to your pathetic quip: what kind of piece of work one has to be to reply in this somewhat apple-fanboi-esque way (where someone says "how to fix X problem in Y" and pat comes the reply "why not just buy Y-latest, it's just $349") and what kind of unidimensional world you live in where you believe someone wanting some free and private git hosting is the problem? Ffs.
So again and with all due respect, please shut the fuck up! Because you don't know me, you don't know where I am coming from, you don't know the why, and you don't come across as someone who would ask or even care about knowing.
Shipyard has been one of the main maintainers because they have previously been an aggregator of funding — think consulting firm, that gets grants and hires people.
Protocol Labs is moving and offering to pay (as far as I understand) the same maintainers and developers directly; just not via Shipyard.
