How does Apple News+ get away with putting up a paywall on stories I can read on the web? Found in 5 seconds searching. Slimy, slimy, shiny slime Apple.

That's it. The #ds106 #dailycreate has left the Birdspace Building (IFTTT integrator turned off).

Thanks for all the [smelly] fish.

The TDC goes on, every day here via @creating and on the web at https://daily.ds106.us

Guess which day the AI bots came by the blog?

Feeling like Dr Venkman in Ghostbusters yelling out from the floor, covered in green sticky goo, "I've Been Scraped"
