[ A social media post saying "to commemorate alan dye moving from apple to meta, here's one of his best quotes:
"Design is not just what it looks... Design is how it... - Alan"
The left side of the image is an Apple rainbow, the right a washed-out tree with a huge white-gold lens flare in the middle, making half of the quote unreadable.]

@futurebird@sauropods.win Trump's already threatening to take away my student loan cancellation in addition to my civil rights. I'm not afraid of a mere employer.

@Mastodon@mastodon.social @johnonolan@mastodon.xyz "Today, Ghost's annual revenue is over $8.5M while total publisher earnings on Ghost have now surpassed $100M." That implies a very livable ratio, certainly better than Steam, Apple, or any other large publishing platform.
Please, Ghost, never enshittify your payment model.
