Substack Did Not See That Coming
Let’s set Substack’s “Nazi problem” aside for a moment. What if the bigger issue is being stranded on a collapsing platform... with a bunch of Nazis?...

Wow, we did it! We have officially achieved a new all-time-high ARR at Buffer 🎉
Our previous all-time-high was $22,384,598 on February 6, 2020. Today, our ARR stands at $22,395,427.
This milestone has been 5 years in the making for us, it's going to take a little time to sink in for me personally!

Kaksi ehdokasta Töölöstä.
Kaksi mainosta Töölöläisessä.
Kaksi puoluetta, kaksi asennemaailmaa.
Kumpaa näistä Helsinki tarvitsee?
Aika selvä peli, sanoisin.

I helped build a government AI system. DOGE fired me, rolled the AI out to the whole agency, and implied the AI can do my job and the jobs of the others they've fired.
It can't. But, what DOGE accidentally revealed about themselves in the process is fascinating. 🧵

TikTok on ollut politiikan kiistakapulana useampaan otteeseen, mutta nyt somealustojen politisoituessa se onnistuu alustana näyttäytymään neutraalina. Oivallus tuli kun juttelimme @oskarionninen.bsky.social kanssa tätä juttua varten. Mainio terävä teksti ylipäätään!

Takki nurin. Vuonna 2020 Donald Trump halusi kieltää Tiktokin. Ei enää.
Kiinan ja Venäjän suitsiminen on turvallisuuskysymys mutta Elon Muskin rajoittaminen sensuuria.

Kolumni | Riippumaton virkamies on kansanvallan asialla
Yhdysvaltojen nykyinen tilanne on myös Suomen näkökulmasta kauhukuva siitä, mitä voi tapahtua, kun kansakunnan ideologinen kahtiajako etenee liian pitkälle.

It’s great to see Mastodon transitioning to steward-ownership to become a real global town square, one that is owned by the people. Perhaps Bluesky should follow suit?

Search is one of the most profitable businesses online. Imagine if all its profits would be used for tackling climate change. That’s what steward-owned search engine Ecosia is doing. It is completely bootstrapped and donates all its profits (nearly 100 million euros do far) towards climate action.

Today is a special day at @buffer.com - we just crossed $20M in ARR 🎉🚀
What makes it extra special, is that this is the second time we've reached this milestone. It's been a years-long whole-team effort to achieve the turnaround.

Yesterday Suzanne Innes-Stubb, spouse of the President of the Republic of Finland, welcomed the audience of the traditional independence day reception wearing shoes and earrings she had rented from a peer-to-peer clothing sharing platform Robes Rental. A great day for circular economy!
