Partying at the White House on Saturday night was unacceptable. I’m re-evaluating my relationship with my once-favorite corporation. Not that they’ll notice, but all subscriptions except minimal iCloud canceled. #apple

A followup might cover all the other fedi app types. You could even stream an episode recording session on Owncast (what’s the worst that could happen? :-) Enjoy your no-algo feed.
