What if you "complied" and released your personal version/fork with age verification that no one would use?

What does "stacked" mean in this context?

Can such policies be implemented individually by cities?

My concern is that when we succeed making "our own web" popular, the Big Cos will lobby for legislation that would put burden on all operators, such that it would be unreasonably costly for small operators but easy for themselves to meet. Probably under disguise of "think of the children". Besides technology we'd need a strong organization advocating for "our own web".

I'm using a separate app for 2FA with both Google. What forces you to use YouTube app?

I have a silly take on this: to avoid rocking the floating city you throw the rocket overboard, let it re-orient itself upright, then use the main thruster to slow down the fall and then move up.

My workaround for this is to always log in from porn/incognito mode where it doesn't remember cookies. Each time I have to type password and go through 2FA.

I'm somewhat disappointed that the article did not describe how you must be crazy to enjoy programming.

That makes sense. Either knock down the walls all the way and empower developers to make decisions, or keep the walls and let all requests go through the pipeline.

Do you often have to deal with support staff reaching out directly to developers on Slack to investigate some problem – without going through "normal" process of creating a ticket that gets assigned? Or even asking for features.

Developers generally want to be helpful, but also small requests often turn out to be rabbit holes. And even in best case it distracts from work that was explicitly assigned and scheduled.

I noticed I experience a bit of anxiety every time I'm doing some work that came through backchannels. The way I try to alleviate is create the ticket myself, mention its source and assign it to myself. This way switching context is visible and I can tell myself that "if manager doesn't want me to spend time debugging this now, they can react".
