We're seeing logins fail and trying to use the google meet and google drive APIs fail.

The permissions this asks for feel kinda insane to me. Why does a kanban board need to see the code or my deploy keys among other things?

The trick with Microsoft is to very carefully separate the good parts from the bad ones.
Labeling all of Microsoft as banned is really constraining your technology options. This is a gigantic organization with a very diverse set of people in it.
There aren't many things like .NET, MSSQL and Visual Studio out there. The debugger experience in VS is the holy grail if you have super nasty real world technology situations. There's a reason every AAA game engine depends on it in some way.
Azure and Windows are where things start to get bad with Microsoft.
How do you separate the good from the bad? What do you do when Microsoft changes the good things into bad things?
My take is that Microsoft consistently makes bad things and makes "good" things into "bad" things; so, I don't have much expectation or faith that anything that I currently think is "good" will stay that way.

They updated the incident noting that it's not just authentication affected.
Yep, seeing SSO and auth errors from firebase.

No, the oligarchs can't stand seeing a single dollar go to the poor, and when one is a billionaire, everyone else is poor.
What blows my mind is how short sighted it is. Even the oligarchs benefit from scientific research. Even the oligarchs lose money when our industries move to other countries.

Interesting idea. There are also solo board games that can be carried in your pocket. Some of them listed here: https://boardgamegeek.com/geeklist/273744/small-box-solo-gam...
Recommendations are welcome :)
Onirim is good but the phone app is better since there’s so much shuffling. Cursed?! is one of my favorites. Galdors Grip is really cool in that you can play it in hand, you don’t need a table, so you can play it anywhere.
It's ok mate. Hackernews says we should be using jj to manage our rewritten-in-Rust code.
Since you brought it up, I personally switched to jujutsu and prefer it greatly. I regularly help coworkers deal with issues in git and keep dropping hints like `in jujutsu this would've been done way easier like this!`. Nobody bites yet since I think most of them don't want to use the CLI but maybe someday if enough people keep talking about it the inertia will get to the point that we can get some really slick GUIs for jj.
