I wouldn't say it's "pivoting", but rather expanding.

They're adding a Twitter-like feature.

It was also fixed with a definition update in Windows Defender some time last month, so you probably have the update since these happen in the background and don't require any restart. You can check by going to:

    C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows Defender\Definition Updates\{BUNCH-OF-NUMBERS}

Right click `mpengine.dll`, choose Properties, click Details tab, and check to see if Product Version is >= 1.1.20200.3. Mine is 1.1.20200.4 and was updated in mid/late March. If the version is less than 1.1.20200.3, you can manually trigger a definitions update in Windows Defender under Virus & Threat Protection.

Are we just ignoring that all their front page copy mentions blog/web before newsletter/email? If everything on their front page makes it seem like newsletters are secondary to web blogs, why shouldn't the writer be able to treat it as such? I don't see anything wrong with a writer wanting an option to turn off email delivery by default when Substack is clearly trying to be both a blogging platform and a newsletter platform. They even have their own mobile app for reading blog posts. I'm not arguing that the lack of that option is a dark pattern, but why be against having it?

> A Substack combines a blog, newsletter, payment system, and customer support team — all integrated seamlessly with a simple interface. We handle the admin, billing, and tech so you can focus on your best work.

> Substack’s simple system lets you publish to the web, email, and our app simultaneously so you can find new readers and always reach your existing audience.

> Substack helps anyone set up a blog and email newsletter. No tech knowledge is required. Without ads and algorithms to get in the way, you can sustain a direct relationship with your readers and retain full control over your creative work.

It doesn't stay off for me either, but after some digging on the internet, Wingman appears to be an in-flight wifi network on planes (which may not actually exist anymore and T-Mobile are in the process of removing from devices according to this recent comment by a stranger on an old Reddit thread[1]). While it's annoying that it doesn't stay off, it doesn't seem to be something that would cause problems in practice because flights typically only have one wifi network.

Better yet, I'm only choosing dumb TVs (if possible) in the future.

> To be fair, not being webshit is part of why their UI is usable (if not great) on low-end hardware.

I have a TV with Roku built-in. It ran great when I got it in 2020, but it has gotten slower and slower to the point of being unusable. I'm not even talking about apps, but the Roku home screen itself. Apps are even slower and crash all the time, sometimes crashing the TV itself.

On the other hand, I have a Chromecast from 2016 that still runs just as well as it did when I bought it. I'd rather use my phone as a remote and have a movie playing in seconds with the Chromecast than wait 1+ minutes for Hulu or Netflix to even get to their respective home screens with the Roku. I also don't get ads with the Chromecast.

It has supported GTK3+ for years now. I'm not familiar with the specifics, but GTK3/4 applications run fine.

The replacement makes much more sense to me. Thank you for the explanation.

I'm always on Reddit and never noticed the Pi. Thanks for the trivia as well!
