Thanks @ccleberg

Ah, shame to see Session go, that's a real shame.

Is it actually shutting down, or just doing the Wikipedia-style guilt trip messaging of "give us money in the next 1 day or we go"?

Either way, doesn't seem like it's viable long-term anymore 🫤

Everything points to a real shutdown. If you check out their Github repos, you can see commits basically stopped around April 8th.
