Yes. That’s right. There are some subtle differences between Medium and Substack mostly owing to the fact that Medium was originally designed as a blogging site and Substack was originally designed as an email newsletter platform (with a place to park blog posts as well). So each is a bit catered a bit more catered to their original goal, although they’ve certainly become more similar over time.

Ghost seems to be squarely in the middle: both a blog site builder/newsletter platform from the outset. Honestly, Ghost looks to maybe be doing the site builder piece even better (like more ability to remove Ghost branding relative to Medium/Substack, which makes sense since it’s open source).

Really? Could you provide some sources? I’m curious to learn more.

It’s so fun and endearing! Really heartwarming.

Yea agreed

Did he directly express support for trump? I only saw something along the lines of “the Republican party is better than the Dems because they will address big tech”. Albeit that statement itself is misguided in many ways, but curious about what his actual post said?

Ohh, I see. That makes a lot of sense. I understand the comparison now, ty 🙏

Could you expand on that thought a bit more? How is an app like the internet tool bars of old?

Genuinely curious. I’m a little too young to have experienced internet toolbars like the ones in your image.

Really glad you brought the opposite perspective to the table here 🙏 thank you!

It should be interesting to see how it plays out, indeed.

I don’t expect the US will entirely ban all forms of content moderation. I wouldn’t be surprised if the US moved more in the direction of the EU Digital Services Act: required transparency on recommendation algorithms and some sort of NGO trusted flagger system.

Also, similar (but opposite) to Splinternet: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brussels_effect

Thank you so much for posting pics! It looks great.

I also use Kobo. It’s really easy to download on Kobo (then remove DRM if that’s your vibe).

I’m planning on buying a pocketbook soon!!! I’ve been trying to get a sense of what the PocketBook interface is like on the device but haven’t found anything online. You don’t have a picture of the home / library page do you? Also, can you disable discover / suggestions on the PocketBook?

What do you mean? The guide OP mentioned has instructions for MacOS. Also, the software referenced (Calibre and DeDRM plugin) are available on Linux systems as well.
