Cool! A new ruling is now forcing Apple to give more flexibility to services (like Patreon), so they can't skim 30% off the payments made to creators 🙌

A judge just blew up Apple’s control of the App Store
The judge called Apple’s insubordination a “gross miscalculation.“

"We never thought leopards would eat OUR face," cried editorial board who helped put the Leopards Eating People's Faces Guy in power
Day after day, the WSJ edit page goes apoplectic over Trump’s terrible Cabinet nominees. It would be darkly funny, if the consequences weren’t so ominous.

Interesting to me that WhatsApp, which is basically just group texts is the only one growing. I truly think people are fleeing the algorithm and interactions with strangers for messaging w people they know.
📱@pewresearch.org found American teens are mostly on YouTube, TikTok, Snapchat, & Instagram — some are online almost all the time: www.pewresearch.org/internet/202...
Pew told me they’ll ask if adults & teens are using Bluesky in 2025.
Steep decline in teen Twitter & Facebook use seem notable.

a refreshingly honest and rather drunk @theverge.com editor happened to be in seoul at the right time and is now live-skeeting the coup attempt. a ‘bluesky has the juice’ moment.
I'm at the National Assembly building. The army is here. And I just saw two soldiers in fatigues getting pushed around by belligerent ajusshis. and they looked legit scared.
