Probably not for unfollowing people? But try drafting a post and then shaking.

@gruber.foo Fun fact: Walmart in Canada supports Apple Pay. Probably due to the popularity of “tap to pay” in the country well before Apple Pay existed.

@andrew-wiebe.bsky.social I’d love to hear about the “back pass” no-call in the ~62nd minute of SKC / VAN match tonight. Feels like the right no-call, but what do the rules say?

The Film Maven Is Moving Off Substack Head on over to our new official home!!

This is scary but I'm taking The Film Maven off Substack and have transferred to Ghost. Not only does this give me complete ownership of my work, but also means I won't continue to lose money to Substack and Apple. I lay everything out for Subscribers here.

FAIR Package Manager Project FAIR Package Manager Project has 8 repositories available. Follow their code on GitHub.

I installed the Fair Package Manager (@fairpm) on my personal site last night. I'm excited to say it worked flawlessly. A couple of plugins were updated from Fastly's servers, & a paid plugin updated from its servers as normal. I'm excited to see what else comes from this interesting development.

We Should Free All WordPress Plugins and Themes - Half-Elf on Tech What if we democratized everything in WordPress, and not just publishing? What if we freed all themes and plugins? How far could we fly?

Thoughts on #WordPress Plugins, #FAIRPM, and risk.

Only a matter of time before macOS looks more like iPadOS.

@gruber.foo I suspect the CIRP survey is looking only at the US market (not even or Americas), which has a higher concentration of iPads than global markets. 78% of the US iPhone users having iPads makes more sense. Globally iPads are less popular, meaning lower overall revenue.

Former Substack creators say they’re earning more on new platforms that offer larger shares of subscription revenue Former Substack writers who exited the platform in early 2024 are making more money on Beehiiv and Ghost thanks to their fixed pricing models.

Fwiw, audio messages already disappear by default—the receiver can choose to "keep" them. I think it's a misnomer to say iMessage doesn't support disappearing messages—it doesn't support disappearing text messages, but does support disappearing audio messages.

I’d be happy to help you move somewhere else (and where the platform takes less of a cut).

Don't call it a Substack. - Anil Dash A blog about making culture. Since 1999.

As an aside, I’m a more-recent follower/listener and I’ve been curious: why Substack in particular? They’ve always been a bit fraught, from what I’ve read (e.g. www.anildash.com//2024/11/19/...).

But really, practically a given Sounders will make it to the playoffs. Their defence should hold up during the playoffs too. A combo of Morris+Ferreira+de la Vega feels like it can breakthrough, on paper… we’ll have to see what that’s like in practice though.

How much money did Miami cost you?

Definitely. Feels like a big “if” though. De la Vega hasn’t broken through yet. If that happens in 2025, Sounders could be unstoppable. But it may be more like 2027…

Plus, it took the Sounders a couple of months to get going in 2024. With the LAFC+Galaxy, they can’t afford to wait that long.
