> free tier? That changes everything.

Does it? To me, that just says "Locking my data in a platform that can suddenly decide to charge me for functionality."

You said this sarcastically, but it is really good advice.

Note that Microsoft now has two controls on your digital identity. Login with Office365 and Login with Github.

If they pull a Google and disconnect you, you're in a world of hurt if you don't have otherwise.

Tech folks should have never allowed GitHub to become the monopoly it did.
