I think the only way Apple or any App Store should take a cut from these types of apps are if they are processing the payments and then you can charge your 5% or whatever. I feel the same way about Apple trying to take a cut of people who buy ads on Facebook in the Facebook app.
But the real solution, I think, is for Patreon and Substack to just leave the App Store. Fuck it. Leaving is the only way to maybe win. Yes, that might make it worse for your users. Fuck it.

This is so bogus. UTM SE gets into the App Store after it was accepted into @npub1yk0…g32h’s Alt Store but iDOS 3 is still not allowed. Just bogus. https://litchie.com/2024/04/new-hope?updated

PSA: Spotify doesn’t make it super clear, but you can downgrade from your Family Premium plan to Family Basic, which removes the audiobook stuff and saves $3 a month. I just did that since I pay for Audible. If Spotify actually offers hi-fi music, I might re-upgrade to the premium plan but I won’t pay $3 a month for audiobooks I didn’t listen to. https://newsroom.spotify.com/2024-06-21/more-choice-for-us-subscribers/

In honor of Donald Sutherland, I encourage you all to watch the fantastic 1971 neo-noir film, “Klute.” It features an Oscar-winning performance from Jane Fonda (that she totally earned) and is the first of Pakula’s “paranoia trilogy” - but Sutherland’s understated performance is one of my favorites of his. https://letterboxd.com/film/klute/

I just made a Linux joke without even trying while talking about something entirely different and I have so many questions about my life choices. (The context was that I was informed that the same man is responsible for both unleaded gasoline and cfc based refrigerants, thereby dooming the earth twice, to which I replied, “oh, like how the same guy gave us PulseAudio and systemd?”)
