"If all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail."

Frontend frameworks like React are used everywhere. For real web applications like Facebook, they totally make sense. But for a lot of other projects, they don't because those projects do not have a complex UI/UX and so the framework adds more complexity than needed.

The bad thing isn't that Google wants me to pay for a service.

The bad thing is that some of us have no choice - or need a long day or two to migrate all the stuff.

I am a heavy Google Photos user who has shared a lot of albums. Also a lot of Android payments and much more.

For Google Photos, I can't export and import albums - only photos. So I would have to recreate the structure manually. This alone is a huge task.

If there is a "migrate to Gmail" button all is fine. But there isn't an easy solution.

I am now glad I had to create a private Gmail account for Stadia. But I also have to think about investing more money in games - or not.

Cloudflare and RSS 10 years ago

Or when you were on vacation taking a brake from work and so also from the tech stuff. RSS is great for not missing something. All that interest based sorting for social media made RSS much more important for me.
