Today marks the end of an era. Sadly, we've been forced to pull Twitterrific from both the iOS and Mac App Stores.
Twitter’s unexplained revocation of our API access has left the app with no path forward. Please read our blog for more information🖖

Tweetbot literally changed its whole-ass model to comply with the various API terms the various times Twitter has changed its mind about this stuff. Pretending otherwise is disingenuous.

Tweetbot has been around for over 10 years, we've always complied with the Twitter API rules.
If there's some existing rule that we need to comply with, we'd be happy to do so, if possible. But we do need to know what it is...

Does the report that Apple may build a touchscreen Mac laptop mean that the futures of the Mac and iPad are about to converge--or is nothing much really going to change? Then Jason and Myke then pour one out for third-party Twitter apps.

As the new year begins, reports about Apple's forthcoming headset product arrive to confuse and perplex us. We also discuss a potentially quiet year for the rest of Apple's product line, the fundamental dignity of a circular pizza, and CES.

I love this little app One Thing that lets you display any text in your Mac's Menu Bar using Shortcuts 💻
I made a simple progression meter as a proof-of-concept based on 's Mastodon posts:

It's a new year, and Jason has made his fearless predictions about what will happen in 2023! (Myke has questions.) We also consider the fate of the iPhone Plus, discuss Apple pausing its HomeKit architecture roll-out, and pour one out for Dark Sky.

It's the end of the year, which means it's time for Dan Fogelberg's "Same Old Lang Syne." Here's a free, old school Slayed by Voices deep dive into this unforgettable song.

In other words, if you haven't seen Ted Lasso yet (or For All Mankind, See, Slow Horses, Home Before Dark, or the rest of the really great Apple TV content ...), now is your chance.

If you're making actual money off your podcast, I heartily second this recommendation (especially ditching Yetis unless you have actual insulated studio space).
If you don't make sweet podcast money (which is the VAST majority of podcasters), buy an ATR-2100X and get up close.
Quote Tweet
Please stop buying Blue Yetis and start buying Shure MV7s. I get there's a pretty significant price difference but every time we've had someone with a Yeti on our pod this year, it's been such a pain in the ass to edit to get reverb and background noise out.
