Somewhere, Denny Green is loving @jsnell@zeppelin.flights comments on Apple's executives on this week's episode of Upgrade.

Did you know I host a D&D "Actual Play*" Podcast?

Did you also know I've been doing it so long that today we released our 500TH episode?!?
https://www.theincomparable.com/tpk/500/

*Actual Play = recording of people actually playing Dungeons and Dragons vs. I guess just talking about D&D?

Alpaca Macadamia Nuts (Total Party Kill 500)

To celebrate our 500th episode, we bring you the only TPK recorded entirely in person! It’s an extra-long session recorded around a table, complete with the sounds of dice rolling, soda-pop cans opening, and chairs scraping the floor as people move around. The only way to feel more like you’re there is to watch the 360° version on a VR headset! This episode kicks off another Candlekeep mystery in which N’iss, Naiasa, Valenthe, Merdri, and Quewaris investigate a trembling tower.

This post from last year remains relevant today. Apple’s logic around “safety and security” for allowed payment methods was:

- it’s safe enough to enter your credit card in an app to buy physical goods

- it’s safe enough to enter you card into an app to buy digital goods you enjoy on other devices

- it’s unsafe to enter your card in an app to buy digital goods you enjoy on that device

Attached: 1 image Can you imagine the chaos that would ensue if Apple let companies like Meta let you enter your credit card to buy things on the iPhone? We don’t need to imagine, it’s already in the Meta Quest App Store today 😝
