One month later, AltStore PAL has over 100,000 users 🥳

To celebrate, we spoke to Bloomberg about our journey to get here — including some fun behind-the-scene photos taken along the way!

It’s unacceptable IMO that tvOS apparently doesn’t allows apps to use persistent storage. For instance, the new RetroArch game emulator has to store all your savegames, screenshots, ROMs in the Caches directory, which the OS may purge at any time without warning. poof

“your app can only access 500 KB of persistent storage … Outside of this limited local storage, all other data must be purgeable by the OS when space is low.” https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/General/Conceptual/AppleTV_PG/index.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40015241-CH12-SW1 Why even sell the 128 GB Apple TV then?

@rileytestut @ole this was a big part of the problem with Minecraft for Apple TV. They didn’t discontinue it because they got bored, people kept losing data and they couldn’t fix it.

Our commitment to the fediverse is here to stay.

Today, we launched our new Mastodon instance. It will ensure a privacy-focused space to engage with and get the latest from our Commissioners, departments, and the official voices of the Commission.

We want to thank @Mastodon for stewarding us and helping us make this possible.

Fostering European digital players is vital to our strategy for a stronger .

This is a unique opportunity to grow the community even more. Let's get there!

In the EU, @altstore launched with Clip, the first ever clipboard manager on the iPhone that can actually run in the background and continuously monitor your clipboard, regardless of the app you’re in.

That alone makes a huge difference, enough to crown Clip the best clipboard manager to ever ship on iOS.

Here’s my review of the app on @macstories: https://www.macstories.net/reviews/altstores-clip-is-the-best-clipboard-manager-on-ios-yet/

@rileytestut check out some of my new skins Riley!

There are two different versions - one based on GBA SP with reactive lighting around the screen to simulate an actual lit up screen, and another which is more simple made for good looks and controls!

I'll hopefully be making it for every device including GBC next followed by DS.

FAST FORWARD by tapping the screen!!

SP Version - https://github.com/keewhi/keewhigbaSP
Normal version - https://github.com/keewhi/keewhicolor

It's a relaxed Saturday morning and I am reading through @rileytestut announcement about AltStore PAL.

"Not all apps are rejected for interesting reasons; sometimes people just want to make cool things that don’t fully align with Apple’s goals. Our hope with AltStore is to give apps like these another path forward."

🥹
I was not aware how much I missed this sort of enthusiasm for making apps. How much a decade+ of dealing with app review killed it, in me.
