Duende Software - Identity and Access Management for .NET We help companies using .NET to build identity and access control solutions for modern applications.

The upcoming release of #dotnet 10 comes with built-in passkey support. Had good fun digging into the new #Blazor project template and how it adds secure authentication using passkeys.

A tariff on movies is a tariff on software. Nobody moves rolls of film copies around anymore. That's a very slippery slope to step onto.

I image there will always some 'apply' button before it actually changes anything. And if you want to be able to review the changes I guess you don't want it to be binary.

Configuration through json sounds like an important improvement.

This would also allow editing of the json by agents. Because of AI I expect a general trend towards all software using more old fashioned configuration files.

Epic just won its Google lawsuit again, and Android may never be the same It may be open season on Google Play.

Google stays losing lawsuits. Besides being declared a monopoly in both search and ads after losing both cases, they’ve now lost an appeal that will force opening up the Google Play store in the US.

They will need to allow rival app stores on Android and no longer require taking a 30% cut of sales
