Wouldn’t it be great if this finally breaks the Microsoft stranglehold. We could pop open the champagne and toast to liberté égalité and digital sovereignty ;)

Maybe you guys should make it possible to add passwords to any account, including a Google authed one.
Like I get Keycloak is complicated but it is also very useful.
My gosh yes please! This is so annoying. Last time I checked it’s impossible to disconnect your email address from Google auth if you used that to sign up. And no way to delete the account and recreate with that email address.

I'm subscribed to the Premium Family plan to get rid of the ads and for the music service, which I think at the current price is a great deal. I just wish they would add more options to the premium plan, like:
- add proper filters (e.g. for sponsored content, low effort content creators, any content about spending/winning money, other obvious nonsense which exists just to increase views, etc. etc.)
- detect and filter generated and other low effort crap content
- add proper parental controls (it's a family plan, after all and YouTube Kids does not count, it sucks)
- disable Shorts (if there's one thing that's going to make me cancel my subscription it's the cancer that is Shorts)
Or, if you’re building for clients with a traditional “enterprise” and “secure” IT infrastructure: add refresh buttons and call it a day.
If there’s one thing in my experience that consistently fails in these environments and cannot be fixed due to endless red tape, it’s trying to make real-time work for these type of clients.

What a time to be a kid. Computers and games were absolute magic.
Some of us were lucky enough to have a 386 and if we squished the screen down far enough we could get a reasonable framerate. Some of us were lucky enough to have mates with a 386. I was particularly lucky in that my mates dad had a small pc store in his shed. So we also had a laplink cable for transferring software and a serial cable for multiplayer gaming.
Again, it was magic.
Edit: without wanting to sound too “get off my lawn”. I was loading up some games on a tablet for a flight with the kids today and they just don’t care that much. They could get a new game at any moment. For us a new game was a rarity. If one of us got a new game from somewhere we’d bmx over to our mates so they could copy it. I recall a friend getting the quake demo and zipping it on to 8 disks for me, the 6th of which was corrupt. It took a week of back and forth before I finally got to play it.
I fondly remember playing Doom with my brother. Our dad had made a serial cable for us. One of us was playing on the PC and the other one on a laptop with a grey scale display and terrible ghosting. We had so much fun and it felt like magic indeed :)
I've found over the years that Martin Fowler blogs about things the C-Suite is already doing at their companies, and they use this as validation for their choices. This in turn has a virtuous cycle of keeping him popular.
Almost everything he hawks causes misery for software developers, like his whole multi-year spin for Microservices, he's turned refactoring into a fetish (honestly there are people at my dayjob who have been "refactoring" the entire 3 years i've been here) and now hes blogged multiple times about platform teams - which - having been on one - don't work. I see him as a very damaging character.
Well intentioned, i'm sure, but I don't think he has good ideas.
> and now hes blogged multiple times about platform teams - which - having been on one - don't work.
I’d love to hear more about your experience with a platform team and why you say they don’t work.
