@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!

To the #runners in the Fediverse: Does anyone know of a simple metronome app that doesn't need a lot of permissions? A metronome app specifically for runners where you can set the duration and intensity (e.g. 1 min 180 BPM and 2 min 160 BPM)? Or are there #developers that can build something like that and put it on F-Droid? 😉 I have a simple Meteonome but there you can not set time and Intervalls.

Been trying out #Apple #news - it's 100% not worth the eventual subscription.

For one thing, if you ask it to block a source, it doesn't actually block it. It still displays the headline and takes up space on the page.

No, I don't want to see the crap the Telegraph prints, thank you very much.
