On Dot Social Episode #23 Ghost’s John O’Nolan and WordPress’s Matthias Pfefferle want to help blogs and long content thrive on the open social web. Meet “the longformers.”
I missed on my first reading of Apple’s new EU rules that “tier 1” developers won’t get automatic app updates. This is going to be very confusing for users. The whole thing seems unworkable to me. Small steps forward, but just barely. I’d like a “tier 0” with sideloading and a 0% commission.
As spelled out in a StoreKit addendum, Apple is replacing the Core Technology Fee in the EU with a Core Technology Commission. It’s a better deal, but on principle I’m against any fee for subscriptions outside of the App Store. Not sure this change is more compliant with the EU’s DMA, either.
Thursday session
I, like a lot of other people, assumed that Americans would be terrible at authoritarianism. Shows we have a lot to learn. Americans are pretty good at it it turns out.

Masked secret police is pure terrorism. We should ask NYPD what we have to do to protect ourselves from them, and then do it.
WordLand v0.5.15 is out.
Bernie Sanders asks what the Democrats should learn from Mr. Z's victory in the NYC primary this week. Here's what I say. Forget about ever rising from the ashes of what remains of the party. Right now, the issue is how to defend the city from the coming war with the US government. They're already holding the current mayor hostage. This will be worse than 9-11 and Covid. We have no leadership. We're totally fucked, what the Democratic Party does or doesn't do, at this point, simply doesn't matter.
