I've been around this block a few times. I have NEVER seen any kind of cross-posting work well. Anyone who thinks it's working for you: it's not. Cross-posting spews your messages into contexts they're not optimized for and communities that you're not really engaging with. You get out of a social network what you put into it. If you're not really getting to know each place and tailoring your engagement to it, you're not really there, and it shows.

For reference, for the people saying I shouldn't raise my price: Pocket Casts: $40/year The Podcast App: $37/year Castbox: $35/year Castro: $25/year … Overcast: $10/year I have no problem telling everyone this now: I'm raising my price in the near future. I've only waited this long because I wanted to give you some new stuff at the same time!

Upgrading to Sequoia, for some reason, finally broke my old, pre-subscription use of Fantastical. (It's not that I don't like the app… I'm just perfectly happy with the functionality of the old version and don't need any of the newer features.) In completely unrelated news, I am not charging enough for my subscription.

OMG I'm having so much fun watching/listening to each track

I have LOTS of thoughts already about the Camera Control, how third-party vs. Apple cases handle it, the new Photo Styles, and the Watch Series 10. These are not boring releases at all. Saving it all for @npub1f30h...d2kp on Monday night.

Tried a new dog groomer and I thought the blueberry scrub was ridiculous but now my dog is happy and smells like blueberries and it's delightful
