Yeah it's strange. I'm usually beguiled by the design which I like. But that doesn't keep me dry.

Same. Unsubscribe from things! Set up filters! Tidy up! I get twitchy if I have a dozen _read_ emails sitting in my inbox still needing my attention at some point.

And, I think, managing to use "blogs” to mean both "blogs” and "blog posts”, as well as using "blog posts”, so who knows what any of it means. Sterling work.

Yeah, it's a bit 😬 round here. Hope all goes OK.

Googling for the quote, the only search result is a page about subscribing to NBC Peacock for only $25.

Google AI suggests the quote was by Dawn Airey in the FT in 2014, linking to the source… which is not the FT and doesn't even mention Dawn Airey.

We are, as they say, cooked.

They must have edited that quote out because it's no longer there!

leavesubstack.com is useful but doesn't help with your actual question, which is something I've often wondered too, without coming to any conclusion. So I end up saying nothing.

Perhaps I’ve misunderstood but iOS 26 still has them? And it sounds like the new toggle in 26.1 is “added” rather than replacing these? (It’s still daft though, yes.)

Nice! I don’t think I was aware of that until a bit later, when my MOO days were mainly behind me.

Sorry about the Pepys downtime. A careless software update.

I wish there was a way to see more than one year at a time on those charts. Hard to get a long-term view of changes. Glad you're back on track!
