New addition to my iPhone's home page after today's release with tons of updates: #TapestryApp from @Iconfactory

There are some folks, especially a group of lawyers, I used to follow on Twitter who moved to Bluesky. I never interacted with them, but I learned a lot by reading their posts. I also enjoyed reading posts from Darth, Jorts & Jean, and my brother.

But I didn't want to open a Bluesky account or even have the bridge enabled.

Now I've added their accounts to my Tapestry feed, and it's super easy to read their commentary. Also in my Tapestry feed: Metafilter posts, John Scalzi's Whatever blog, and more.

It's a pleasure to use — nice design! — and it comes from the great folks who made Twitterrific. iOS only (with Mac to come).

Has anyone here used the Sound Source app for Mac to control each individual apps volume?

I'm curious how well it works or if there's something others recommend that might be better in their opinion.

@amerpie tagging you since you use a ton of MacOS apps and might have thoughts on this one.

@BernieDoesIt @Catvalente there is:

  • REFUSE TO RELEASE ON #iOS UNTIL THE TERMS ARE CHANGED!

As with every #Platform, #Software makes #OperatingSystems and the #OperatingSystem makes #Hardware.

  • This worked with #WindowsPhone and #UWP: everyone refused to build #Apps for it and thus it died pretty quickly.

And if you want to say that's not an option, take a look at #AltStore which automates all the necessary work to perpetually #sideload any #App on iOS in a noob-friendly way.

Remember: "Everyone else does it" never was and never will be a valid excuse for any shit system!

  • Also you could just refuse to offer the sales on Apple's platform and add any "#Premium Features" post-launch with your own payment & licensing infrastructure. If you're big enough or small enough you may get away with it. #NotLegalAdvice

Otherwise band together with other #developers and coordinate.

And if you allow Apple to exploit you harder than #Valve, then you normalize that shit!
