@kdfrawg These are the 2 "top" newspapers in Finland (one in Finnish, another in Swedish), so otherwise their language is top notch. They seem to have some weird issue with these Apple products.

@kdfrawg @streakmachine This was not a rumor reported as a fact, it was just a listing of the most sold phones by the three top carriers here in Finland. They constantly wrote iPhone as Iphone. I don't understand why they still keep on writing it like that. It's a fucking proper noun, there are no rules in Finnish (or Swedish, for that matter) why that should be modified in any circumstances.
News editors who do not how to write iPhone, iPad, and iOS properly… shakes head
@matigo Dum-di-dum. Either his bosses will roast him or they are his friends and make your life miserable. I'm sure I talk on behalf of everyone that the former will happen.
@bazbt3 I don't think I have published it anywhere. I need to clean it up a bit before I want to publish any of it.
In practice it's just a Bash script that gets run by the post-receive hook of my website repo. It checks if a certain text file has changed and if it has it generates a new RSS feed item of the file contents. The RSS XML is parsed on my Blips page to show the post, and I have hooked Zapier to crosspost the newly created RSS feed item to Twatter and ADN too. I am planning to replace the Zapier recipes with my own crossposting app/script at some point (also not published) so that I can have the control over how the post is displayed.

@bazbt3 Well, Blips are the microblog of my site, so the solution was not built as a network. As I said, I plan to make it play nicely with other networks, but I won't scale the solution to be yet another network per se.

@bazbt3 I like Manton as a person, he's not one of those douchebags we see and read in the tech circles way too often. I would have liked to give him a small amount of money to get that thing done, even just as a token of appreciation.
But, I have planned to make my own Blips system to be compatible with that platform as well as 10C and pnut. So you won't get rid off me that easily. ?

@jws Yeah, I'll try to remember to create a new issue with a description that will run the ‘rm -rf /‘ command on GitLab servers… ?
@jws Ok. I was wondering why the list was empty even though I have one PM channel.
