Apple may consider changing the name of Apple ID to Apple Account this year, with an expected announcement at WWDC

In the near future, Apple is looking forward to renaming its “Apple ID” to “Apple Account”, aligning with Android users’ reference to ‘Google Account”, as users will access services like iCloud and the App Store through their designated Apple Account. Reports from MacRumors indicate a system-wide rebranding to “Apple Account” in 2024, a possibility reinforced by Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman for the coming year.

Mark Gurman, in his most recent newsletter, hints at Apple's intention to rename Apple ID to Apple Account, scheduled for later in 2024, accompanying significant software updates such as iOS 18 and watchOS 11. Apple could potentially unveil this transition at the Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) in June, allowing developers enough time to adapt their apps before the autumn launch.

It is noteworthy that Apple currently uses the term “Apple Account balance” to denote funds added to an Apple ID, indicating a shift towards a comprehensive name alteration. Gurman's report, which references an internal “Apple Account” team, provides additional weight to the rebranding initiative.

Although the exact motive behind the change is not yet evident, “Apple Account” presents a clearer and more descriptive title as compared to “Apple ID.” The transition away from the familiar “Apple ID,” which has been in use for over two decades, will undoubtedly carry considerable weight for users. Nevertheless, the new designation likely seeks to more accurately portray the account's capabilities and the extensive range of services it encompasses.

iOS 18, An Important Upgrade and Interface Revamp

Amid discussions surrounding WWDC and upcoming updates, attention is also directed towards Apple's anticipated OS update – iOS 18. As per Mark Gurman, this release could signify one of the most substantial iPhone OS updates in Apple's history. Gurman discloses that iOS 18 is poised to unveil an array of innovative features, among them an AI transformation referred to as “Project Graymatter.”

THE bell fixed atop the door rings delicately, announcing your entry to the clerk stocking the shelf closest to the counter, just beneath a sign with a bright (haphazardly cut) paper sign reading STAFF PICKS! browsing the shelf, one of the features titles catches your attention. you bring the VHS case to the counter, the clerk smiling warmly at you before scanning the faded, aged barcode, "good choice."

NOTES: welcome to my blog/housewarming party!! this was going to be my 3rd year anniversary event on the 26th of april but since my last storefront was burnt to the ground by evil arsonists (read: previous blog was terminated lmao) i switched it to be a blogwarming event instead

luckily i was able to save a few vhs's and trinkets from the ashes of my old blog — this is mostly just a big writing exercise! i haven't written in a while with all of the drama and move and a fresh start is the perfect excuse to host a little drabble event, i hope you find something you like in my little store!!

io's VHS store is CURRENTLY [OPEN] NO SHOES, NO SHIRT, NO SERVICE !

18+ only — minors and ageless blogs will be ignored if you have a side blog pls make sure to @ it if you send anonymously! <3

the event is dark content friendly

send a movie + one character to my inbox and i'll write a drabble based on the prompts below! — if there are certain tropes you would like me to include or avoid please let me know in your ask! some movie choices will include nsfw and/or horror themes so please keep that in mind when choosing <3

all writing is x reader — similarly, all works are f!reader, i can write gn reader if requested but i don't write m!readers

please see the rules for who i do and don't write — this is serving as a writing exercise for me so i don't mind getting characters i don't have listed/in my unsure section, if i haven't included a trope/character you're curious about feel free to ask and i can let you know

movies/characters can be chosen any amount of times, someone else's request won't affect your own + multiple requests are okay! — i'll add requests onto the masterlist as soon as i receive them if you don't want to do the same as someone else but overall it won't affect it

your ask will not be posted so include as much information in your request as you'd like

ok i've seen some posts about the tumblr alternative cohost but none that were actually helpful so!

(disclaimer: i am very new to this website. users who have been there longer can and should chime in with additions and/or corrections)

Cohost Introduction Post

What is cohost?

Cohost is a fledgling website that is essentially a tumblr clone, but with its own culture and site-specific features. It is also very much a work in progress. You are encouraged to talk in the cohost forum to suggest changes for devs, report bugs, and upvote other people's suggestions. This website WILL grow and change over time. And as such, I do not know if/when the information I share here will be outdated. Edit: To answer an ask I received, anyone can join cohost without an invite. It used to be invite-only. It is not this way anymore.

Is "adult content" allowed there?

Yes. Cohost is not on the app store, meaning that it is not subject to Apple's specifications. You can post illustrations, writing, and photographs (cohost does not support any video formats at this time, just gifs). Cohost has an elaborate filtering and trigger warning system (moreso than tumblr), and you can disable adult content for your entire account or for individual tags. I actually don't engage with the adult content at all on there. Visual CSEM (both real and fictional) is specifically forbidden (although frankly I think the guidelines could be stricter wrt written content. Still, does seem to handle this better than AO3 does, going as far to say that written content about real minors is forbidden.)

How are minors protected?

The minimum age to join cohost is 16, and requires proof of parental permission to join. Users who are under 18 are automatically age-gated and cannot view adult content.

If cohost isn't on the app store, how is it used?

You can, of course, use cohost on a computer, but it is designed with mobile in mind. Opening the website on any IOS browser, clicking "share", and then "add to home screen" will install an app for you to use. The same can be done on an android. There is a guide here.

How does cohost work?

First, you create an account. Then you wait for approximately two days (read: weekdays) for the account to be activated. This is done to prevent spam bots. In the meantime, edit your profile. List some interests, your pronouns, your other social media links. Give yourself an icon. Note: icon and banner file sizes are small. You may need to shrink and compress images.

After the two days are up, make your first post! Write a basic introduction (with what you feel comfortable you feel sharing) and list some interests you like, maybe some hobbies, media, etc. And then tag this post with "#welcome to cohost". This will let existing members know that someone new has joined, and they may initiate conversation and/or follow you.

Next, go to the search and type in "The Cohost Global Feed" and click on the tag. Bookmark this tag. This is essentially one giant community space where you can find random users. (There is currently some discourse on the website as to whether this tag existing is a "bad thing" or not because "cohost isn't supposed to have a global tag". Just ignore that lol). Next, go back to search and type in things you like. TV shows, maybe. Video games. Music. Anything. See if people have posted in the tags. Follow them. Comment on their stuff. Click "like" to bookmark the post if you want to.

Most crucially, make sure that you bookmark the actual tag so you can look in that tag again later without having to manually type it each and every time. Also, you get a feed called "bookmarked tags" which allows you to scroll through all of them at once, which replaces the "for you" feature other websites have.

You can "share" a post (called "rebug" in user slang) which serves the same purpose as a reblog on tumblr. In a rebug, you can add your own tags or comment in the body of the post. Cohost users do not talk in tags as much as tumblr users - they tend to prefer to speak in the body of a rebug, or in the comment section (replies). At this time, you cannot view all reblogs. But you can view all comments in the comment section. Any post that is rebugged will preserve the tags of the OP, with any additional tags added being attributed to you. Rebugs are named after the website mascot Eggbug, a purple bee-like insect.

Posts are called "chosts" - and shitposting is called "shitchosting." Two examples of global shitposting tags are "#css crimes" - which is when a person does goofy things with the HTML/CSS editor to make colorful text, fake chat windows, and such - and "#shitchosting" which is a general shitposting tag. I've also seen people use tags like "#random".

If a post makes you laugh, check out the OP's profile. See if they post frequently, and if you have any common interests. If you realize you want to block or mute someone instead, you can.

You can send asks just like on tumblr, but your inbox must be manually opened first. So remember to do that.

How do I look at my own blog?

This is one of my gripes about the UI. You would think, intuitively, you would click here (at the top of the screen). But you would be wrong!

It is ACTUALLY under the sidebar menu, called "Profile." And I'm not the only one to to complain about this. (To get back to your dashboard, by the way, you click on the cohost logo.)

Are there sideblogs?

Yes! Each sidepage (sideblog) has its OWN set of likes AND followed pages (blogs). This allows you to easily switch between multiple sets of dashboards. A lot of users use this to have a SFW dashboard and an adult content dashboard. But it works like tumblr, too. You can have a side page/dashboard for whatever you'd like. Maybe one of your pages is for programming. Maybe another is for photography. You switch between your pages by clicking the arrow next to your icon/username at the top of the screen. ("Ohhhhh.... THAT'S what that's for.")

What's the userbase on there like?

Mostly programmers. Trans people. Furry artists. Plural systems. Furry trans plural programmers. Certainly a lot of shitposters. The website is trans-run and, as such, has zero tolerance for TERFs. Everyone seems pretty friendly from what I can tell. And there's very much a culture of "follow someone randomly based on their vibes" that doesn't happen as much on tumblr. Tumblr is more like "I really like this TV show, I'm going to follow 40 blogs about just this interest." Because the cohost community is so much smaller, there is a lot less content overall, especially fandom content. You can't follow 40 fandom pages because your fandom tag has a total of 3 posts, all made by one person approximately a year ago (well. for me anyway).

Cohost, then, actually has much more in common with real-life socialization. You seek out people with interests that may be very different from your own, and to find a common interest is very exciting! Unlike tumblr, you are encouraged to tag as much as possible. This allows your posts to be seen, to find common interests. And, of course, don't forget to look in "#Welcome To Cohost" too! You may find some new friends there.

What file formats can I post in?

Currently, I am aware of basic image formats working (like jpeg, png) animated gifs, and mp3s. You currently cannot upload videos to cohost. I believe the reason is not related to server costs, but rather as a way to curb the uploading of copyrighted content.

How does cohost make money?

There are no ads, and yet, as far as I am aware, cohost is operating comfortably. There is, however, an entirely optional "cohost plus" that is $5 USD a month. Currently, there are a few perks, but not enough to convince me.

What if I think something about cohost should change?

Cohost has a forum where users can submit ideas for features and other users can discuss/upvote those ideas.

Here is a list of posts made for newcomers to read:

[a-d-nox]

web of wyrd: ios 18 is coming to us september 18

supposedly that is the release date, so i want to deep dive on the 18 (moon) energy and how the themes can influence technology. in this case phones.

illusions and uncertainty

there are likely to be features that are not immediately clear in terms of performance (the terms of agreement / acknowledgements - might be questionable and a lot of people won't know it because we tend to just click through all that). alternatively, a lot of people may feel uncertain about the changes and need time to adapt to it - people might avoid updating to ios 18 all together.

hidden features

its likely that this update has features they won't/haven't even mention in the promo. a lot of setting stuff might need your attention - so look for someone who is well informed about what should be on in settings and what should be off. don't be afraid to ask a search what some setting jargon means.

intuition

its likely an intuitive update - you might not need much time to get back to your daily functionality. it will be trial and error to discover that "oh yea that feature is there" or "oh yea that feature changed" when the update happens.

emotional impact, dreams, and subconscious

the journal app is definitely coming this update... but we might see something change with sleep tracking, mediation, etc. also in terms of emotional impact, it's likely to cause some emotional ups and downs - frustration, excitement, frustration, etc. which i have already been b!tching about with the app locking and app hiding feature - like i just know you are up to no good if your instagram is locked on your own phone...

caution

as always you should probably wait a bit before updating immediately because the glitches will be real. an update will definitely follow the initial one.

The Short Patreon Breakdown

Basic version of this post, for people with no attention span. For details on each of these points, please see the original post.

1. The iOS processing fees are a smokescreen covering up the actual devastating changes that Patreon is forcing creators into—including doing away with the two billing models used by most of the highest-earning creators on the platform, regardless of the impact this will have on their livelihood.

2. Patreon is not going to change course for any reason. This is set in stone. CEO Jack Conte himself has been having one-on-one meetings and calls with the platform's top earners, and clearly has no interest in their actual grievances or how their businesses operate—only in getting them to stop complaining.

3. Patreon has offered no proof of their claims that the iOS app is responsible for 40 percent of the engagement on the platform—and also refuse to define what "engagement" means. Staff rebuff all requests for detailed analytics or data on the revenue share coming from the app, but did not refute the possibility that dismissing an app notification counted as "engagement."

4. Patreon does not have a refund policy in place to work with Apple in order to protect creators from malicious chargebacks, and has given no indication of any intent to work with Apple to shorten the time it takes for funds from iOS purchases to be paid out to creators—which is currently 75 days.

5. Patreon's own graphics meant to explain why this is necessary and how the new fees work are not correct: the fee structure graphic features a copying error that results in incorrect math, and adding together everything on the bar graph showing the daily active users by avenue of access comes to a total of 103 percent. They are woefully unprepared to share this information, and are putting it on us for "not understanding."

6. Patreon refuses to offer any promises to 18+ creators that they will not be removed from the app in order to adhere to Apple's content guidelines, instead only saying they currently have no plans to remove us from the app. Questioning this was met with a reminder that they've had to change the TOS for 18+ creators before.

7. All the features Patreon is insisting are integral for creator growth are inaccessible to 18+ creators, and questions about this were either dismissed, redirected, or ignored. 18+ creators can't even be found on either app, but we're being forced to cater to iOS' terms anyway, with claims that it's because all creators need the app in order to grow. Even though we can't utilize it.

8. Patreon's iOS app is currently* in violation of Apple's guidelines for app ratings; staff did not state any intention to become compliant by raising the app's rating as needed to maintain their 18+ creator community, only declaring that they're "exploring options." Per Apple's guidelines, the "options" are to either raise the rating to 17+, cutting off access for the wealthy teenagers with iPhones to which the platform is so dedicated they'll kneecap their top earner in order to court, or kick all 18+ creators off the platform. (This includes horror, true crime, health, trauma recovery, and more, not just sexual content.) *Current as of August 18, 2024.

Do not let the 30 percent App Store fee distract you from what's really going on here. Patreon is crippling a huge portion of their creators, including a horde of their top earners—and the single most profitable creator on the entire platform—and offering no legitimate reasons why. The amount of money they're losing from these creators restructuring or leaving altogether totals in the millions within a single month of activity. This isn't even about money, it's about something else—and there's no way to know what, because Patreon is giving us nothing.
