Mews is on Azure. send help 😋
also i quite like how (mostly) everyone here in Edinburgh refers to _anywhere in England_ as "down south". I assume this is mostly a retributive pithy off handed shrug, as it seems we are constantly forgotten anyway. "oh, not _that_ north" folks will say, I'm in _Edinburgh_ not Aberdeen!
And yes, the northern powerhouse rail _is_ probably a good idea. _For northern England_.
I'm proper sick of english folks talking about "northern" stuff and they point _to the middle of their fucking island_. Not even the borders even! Say "North England" (or midlands, get consistent), otherwise I'm thinking you're talking in UK terms and wanting to freeze in Inverness or further.

yearly reminder to people insisting that we view Christopher Columbus as "a man of his time" that *the people responsible for the Spanish Inquisition* thought Columbus was out of pocket
Christopher Columbus was dragged back to Spain in chains by a crusading knight, convicted of tyranny and immeasurable cruelty, pardoned by Isabella but banned from returning to Hispaniola.

Fuck Columbus.

OpenFGA might map onto a social graph & labels.

Again, idk _why_ this is useful to humans, but it's interesting to twist and stretch the primitives (PDS, follow, labels) to see what could be built similar to how we iterated in the cloud on VMs then containers then serverless.
This probably is weakest wrt security. If you start using the shared identity to auth instead of authorizing specific members of the company.

Could the central identity use labels to implement RBAC? Beyond it to ReBac?

Actually this is interesting to me....
The only meaningful idea I have in my head is a family account. But idk why that'd be useful to us.

Community engagement and coordination also feels like it isn't served well with a central identity.

idk what the use case it, but I bet it'd be equivalent to sharing Netflix profiles
I'm asking specifically about the but. 🍑

What would be painful? How strong is the 'P' in PDS? Where does this hack hurt? Where is it a pain in the butt? Where does it break?

Or would it at all?

Isn't this similar to a corporate accounts and social media managers? IT provides the Wendy's PDS?
When it's so trivial to add a new key pair, I find this a bit odd 😅

Could have a community (or even public) PDS as is I assume. Anything immediately borked with that idea?

(Ie someone runs a community PDS, gives logins out, tangled uses this to auth and use the community identity - boom we made community repos)
If he can state being pro-LGBTQ ++ pro-immigrant ++ pro-OSS then I expect him to say no when needed to protect exactly his big tent.
