Paid subscribers will be apprised of the comings and goings of the more salacious variety. It’s the perfect entry-level newsletter for someone who isn’t already up to speed on the various entanglements and family dramas of society, the young lady who wants to skim the scandals so they can make informed, delicious small talk with friends and potential suitors.įor those of you who crave a deeper dive - which I trust is any woman who has had her hem lowered and any man who has already done his European tour - you’ll find the stream-of-consciousness, voicey, unedited musings your craving for a mere five shillings a month (or 50 shillings a year, an absolute steal). What does this all mean for you? If you sign up for the free edition of my letter, you will get a weekly gossip dispatch: births and deaths, engagements and marriages, breakups and makeups, mergers and acquisitions, so on and so forth. Someone wanted to silence me, but like so many other valiant writers who post before they fact-check, I refuse to be canceled. And, most disconcertingly, I was recently made aware of a serious security breach (fashion pun!) at the publisher upon which I previously relied. Additionally, I’ve heard those little newsies who’ve been passing out my pamphlets are planning to unionize. The rumor mill grinds faster than the printing press can print. It pains me to confess this, but it’s true: it has become an ever-greater challenge to get my reporting to my dear readers in a timely fashion. After all, most of you have more than enough disposable income for this purpose your wealth would be much better spent on my writing than on, say, gambling on a boxing match you’ve pathetically attempted to rig in your favor as a last-ditch effort to save your family from ruin. So perhaps it comes as no surprise that I am heeding the siren song of the subscription newsletter, where I can reach my audience directly, and you can support me in return. I know what’s going on amongst you all before you even know it yourselves. I have, as they say, some personal news: I, Lady Whistledown, am taking my talents to Substack.Īs the gossip’s gossip, I am apprised of all the trends. A new year beckons, and a new format calls to me. Chandra said that the company planned to replace much of IFTTT’s functionality with its own Google Assistant routines.Though I am a great admirer of tradition and possess extraordinary respect for the way things have always been done, I am not above changing my ways when the time is right. IFTTT can for instance be used to change the temperature on a user’s thermostat when they leave the office, or operate obscure smart home devices not officially supported by Google with voice commands from a Google smart speaker. It’s especially popular with early adopters, who use the platform to fine-tune specific tasks across multiple devices. One impact of these changes, according to Chandra: “It will break IFTTT.” IFTTT, short for “if this then that,” is a web-based service that allows users to build a wide variety of custom integrations for smart home products. It seems that "privacy tightening" mentioned in that Variety post did actually kill all of IFTTT links (as I have kodi commands, fireplace comands, variety of phrases that do no mention TV or radio or lights or sprinkler or heating or thermostat.
