Sub.club is here to help the fediverse make money.

From @theverge: "The idea is that this will let users on ActivityPub-based platforms like Mastodon easily offer paid subscriptions and premium content while taking a 6 percent cut in addition to payment processing fees. It could solve a big problem with the fediverse right now: it’s not easy to make a living on it unless you direct your followers back to existing platforms like Patreon."

Microsoft’s Windows Recall feature, which stores a timeline of activity snapshots on your PC, has a new release date.

Microsoft unveiled the feature to much fanfare at Build 2024 in May, only to delay it indefinitely after security researchers called the feature a “privacy nightmare.” Now, having added some extra security measures, the company has said it will roll out Recall to beta testers using Copilot+ PCs in October. @engadget@press.coop has more.

Newsletter platform and Substack rival @ghost announced earlier this year that it would join the fediverse, and now it has made good on that promise by federating its first newsletter.

Writes @Sarahp
for @TechCrunch “By offering a federated version of the newsletter, readers will have more choices on how they want to subscribe. That is, instead of only being able to follow the newsletter via email or the web, they also can track it using RSS or ActivityPub-powered apps, like Mastodon and others.”
