But jokes aside, I'd say it's closer to being part of an oligopoly. And when a player of such market dynamic moves in an "undesirable" way (to the others involved), it lessens maneuver capacity from the others.

I've seen some companies do that so far, and imo it doesn't help as much since if the password is compromised, all else is likely compromised too. So if there's no clear reason to ostracize passwords, I'd suggest pressuring such companies (politely) against such whenever possible.
(and split post again because I think all 3 parts are important on their own and the bridge I use on my account hides stuff after the 300 characters limit from Bluesky)

A small one, and possibly a temporary fix, but #Hotmart is another platform that insists on using keys sent to email primarily, and that shows the password login option in a discreet way that makes the key option seem like the only one.

Login with password on Hotmart
To get the password option at #Hotmart, since they push email keys instead, at https://sso.hotmart.com/login, append ?passwordless=false, or if there's something after /login already, use passwordless=false& between ? and what comes after

Some thoughts about Codeberg as an end-user
A few weeks ago I had to ask a dev there something. As I'd never used it, to my surprise, figuring the UI/UX out was pretty seamless, like the designers went for a lean version of GitHub.
RSS pulls a lot of things and is easy to spot. Visual noise is minimal. Update links are legible. Color scheme has a good contrast despite being inaggressive. And elements in the page are blocky and so
Politically, apparently some people promote it for not being American (apparently German?). Dunno the company behind the service, and also don't know how tied to their government they are, so can't comment on that front.
Also can't comment on maintaining a project there, but since a site's design is usually consistent, I'd presume it's lean/seamless there too.
Overall, imo as an end-user, it did seem decent, and wish more sites went for this design philosophy when trying to be an alternative to other services.
Only concern is RSS: it does pull a lot of things, and I couldn't find a way to filter stuff out, so I worry the noise a more popular or active project would cause.

If someone at Valve had a change of heart, or just want to save their hides after that, either way, a major company pushing for things that result in #deshittification is a win-win situation afaik. =)
(Also breaking the post like this due to bridging it to Bluesky and fediverse microblogging)

Pushing for Linux, Proton, open hardware (even if partially), seemingly at the point of obsession...
I suspect they do so after Microsoft released Windows Live, a competitor to Steam that came by default in the system Valve supported.

Valve made the Steam Controller CAD & STL files available, pushing again for modding, right-to-fix, and so on!

We are setting up a #Deshittification CoOp for whose who want to deshittify their lives and this world.
We'll host a call to figure out how to do this on 29 April. All welcome.

Oh, right, another unothordox solution involving comes to mind, though theorethical as I don't have a baremetal Windows 10 or 11 with me to test.
If an older program runs on full screen, it can mess the resolution of the system, be it on Linux or Windows.
Though on Windows there are tools specifically for running full screen programs windowed, Wine through WSL could help too with its virtual desktop flag, while also tackling another of Windows' problems, its backwards compatibility is spotty at best, specially the older a program is.
The command is:
wine explorer /desktop=some_name,window_size /path/to/executable.exe
"some_name" can be anything, and "window_size" is the size of the virtual desktop and ideally should be the same as the size of the fullscreen program.
Example:
wine explorer /desktop=MyDesktop,800x600 Game.exeAnother thing, LibreOffice Calc is much, much lighter than Excel. And I say that despite using both the 2010 or 2016 versions of Excel, depending on the Windows edition I need to use, and having tested LibreOffice Calc on Windows.
From my experience, the more stuff you put on an Excel sheet, the more of a memory hog it becomes. But if you save the sheet and then open it on LibreOffice Calc, suddenly it becomes perfectly browsable, and it takes much longer to have LibreOffice be a memory hog too.

My use in computer is usually keyboard-centric, so Windows' overdependence on the mouse breaks the workflow a lot for me.
Annoyed for it, I found a tool, WinLaunch, that works like the MacOS Launchpad (according to itself), Ubuntu's launchpad (best part of the OS imo), and Android's app menu:
https://winlaunch.org/It even supports browsing with the keyboard! And a tip, afaik, no program uses Shift Esc on Windows, so it ends up being a practical key combo to open the pad. =)
Another that imo improves the Windows experiece, though a bit unothordox and if I remember correctly from my tests, is ncdu through WSL.
When the storage is full on Windows, it can be a pain to clean up. But as the Linux tools through WSL can interact with the host system, you can use ncdu's sorting by the folders' total sizes to see what is taking away your storage.
In line of storage management, VisiPics is the best tool I found for finding duplicated images, and it's exclusive to Windows. Not quite refined, but helps a bunch once you get past the learning curve.
Its site seems down, but it's still on Sourceforge:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/visipics/If you like the command poweroff from Linux for ease to type but not shutdown /s from Windows, you can place a file poweroff.txt in your user folder, put shutdown /s inside, and rename the extension to .bat. Can't remember if there's a more quick way to summon the DOS terminal, but using Win R > type "cmd" > enter > type "po" followed by tab is very quick. Also tab in the DOS terminal allows browsing by files that start with what you wrote if there's more than one starting with "po".
Can't remember any more at the time.

Iirc ffmpeg is the basis for most modern conversion tools, including some functions from yt-dlp.
Also a matter of taste, I suppose, but yt-dlp can also include the description of a video to the comments section of a video/audio's metadata. Programs like VLC can show that. Iirc the flags needed are
--embed-metadata --parse-metadata "description:(?s)(?P<meta_comment>.+)" -

This is absolutely SHOCKING! 🤯
I can't recall ever seeing Free Trial terms like this. At least not during this century.
The folks at @thestorygraph aren't scoring any #enshittification points with this kind of fairness and transparency.

The "utopian" vision of the Web and search engines is manifesting again; no ads, people first: https://blog.kagi.com/small-web. Why "utopian" or "again"? Because that's how the Web used to be at inception, and how it's supposed to be.
