@consultingcto @edzitron The popup shows to unknown readers only once every 3 hours to unregistered readers. If you login as a free reader, you won't see it. That login usually persists about 90 days

HUGE day for @HellGateNY! For the past few months, we've been hard at work with @partnerpartners
& @join_outpost on a cool new website our worker-owned local news outlet.

The site is LIVE, looks INCREDIBLE, and to celebrate we're having a BIG SALE.

@ConsumerChoiceC Telecom-funded mouthpiece says what?

[Ryan Singel - @[email protected] @rsingel]

@TechFreedom @BerinSzoka This you, bro?

"California is wasting everyone’s time and taxpayers’ money by provoking an entirely predictable legal battle over obviously unconstitutional legislation,” lamented Berin Szóka, President of TechFreedom."

You lost that argument three times.

Maybe learn humility

The FCC wants to restore #netneutrality for all Americans. That's great & important.
But the proposal misses some critical 2015 net neutrality protections, creating potential loopholes for ISPs to exploit.
Here's how to close them: https://t.co/2A4dLJ3COu

[Barbara van Schewick @vanschewick]

Harmful 5G fast lanes are coming. The FCC needs to stop them.
There's still time to fix this before the FCC votes to adopt its #netneutrality order on April 25.
Here are my thoughts: https://t.co/p6xTrBuE9N

@sjvn @Computerworld @Broadcom @VMware Now announcing they are killing off Pivotal Tracker for everyone but Enterprise customers

[Ryan Singel - @[email protected] @rsingel]

@VMwareTanzu You can't even keep Pivotal Tracker running, except for Enterprise customers that you can gouge.

Why would anyone trust you to keep anything running?

Stay far away from Tanzu, folks

@mehdirhasan If you want to move to a platform that doesn't platform Nazis, my publisher co-op works with the biggest publishers on the independent CMS Ghost.

Link in bio.

[Kim Zetter @KimZetter]

I've left Substack and have moved my Zero Day publication to Ghost. Took a while to set up (with help from @rsingel & @join_outpost) and I still need to tweak the design a bit and get a logo (logo suggestions welcome!) but this is where you'll find it now https://t.co/MYfdzFHVq1

[Ed Zitron @edzitron]

After an initial panic, it seems that everyone got this newsletter via Ghost. You should still migrate from Substack like I did - just be prepared for an initially slower distribution of emails. Cannot recommend @rsingel's Outpost enough for the migration.

[Ryan Singel - @[email protected] @rsingel]

FYI, serious publishers on #Substack that want to move to an indie site (and keep more $), Outpost Publishers Co-op will move you free to @Ghost and build you a custom site.

Clients include @404mediaco The Atlantic @LeverNews @TangleNews

@GSMAEurope @jmalvpal LOL. That's exactly what it is. It's just an excuse for telcos to get paid twice for the same service. It's a proposal that's been rejected over and over, because no one, except telecom execs, wants to go back to the economic model of $5 a min landline long-distance calls.

[Ryan Singel - @[email protected] @rsingel]

@hunterwalk @andrewchen @kyurieff @mignano I have no idea why tech journalists only talk about VC-funded tech.

The real trend is that subscription-centric CMSes are being commoditized, w/ the open source nonprofit Ghost in the lead

Overly capitalized cos like Substack gonna implode and get sold for pennies on the VC $

[Ryan Singel - @[email protected] @rsingel]

Posting on this site because so few ONA folks are on the independent, non oligarch controlled fediverse, which is unfortunate cause it's a great vibe over there

Also @ONAConf needs to step up. One email ain't enough and there are lessons to learn

[Ryan Singel - @[email protected] @rsingel]

Went to the #ONA23 journalism conference in Philly last week. I was fully masked indoors, avoided crowded receptions, took Enovid.

Now symptomatic for 2-3 days but not testing positive for Covid including a PCR this a.m.

Be careful indoors, folks. The summer surge is real.

@Digidave Rest up and hope you recover quickly
