Seems likely connected to this old post of his about no longer wanting to provide free service to corporations:

Also he seems to have somewhat of a Guerilla mindset, based on this:

Thanks for the links!

While it's not enough to generate a stable income, faker.js has received over $20k in donations through Open Collective. It's more than most other projects -- but I guess nowhere near what one could get if a big corporation wanted to sponsor the continued development of the project.

I see "charged," not "convicted" in that article.

Real world: Innocent until proven guilty.

Internet: Always guilty, because justice doesn't scale.

Sure they do. Some call them rockets, others fireworks. Oh, and anvil shooting…

Do you really need 40 kg of potassium nitrate for your hobbyist fireworks though? That amount can blow up a house.

Also if you absolutely can't live without the immature thrill of mixing explosives with your bare hands, at least don't do it in a residential neighborhood.
