    Yup! I created an app that uses audio cueing to improve gait for people like my Dad who have Parkinson's disease (the cueing strategy is based on research studies)

    My Deathrattle Sepulchral Guard are finished. Taken me a couple of years to get round to painting them. Just in time before… 1/2

    I set this down in writing as somebody who is not affiliated with any of the sides or companies battling this issue. I don’t own Apple stock (or Epic, Spotify, Match), have no stakeholders, and my opinions aren’t for sale. I’m a developer on Apple’s ecosystem, and an EU citizen

    You’re going to hear plenty from Apple’s lobbying & PR mouthpieces on the other side of this issue. This is an existential crisis for the company. And as we’ve seen from testimony, Apple’s various limbs are either lying to themselves, or to each other, completely blind to reality

    I fully support moves EU is making against Apple’s ecosystem. And Apple’s behavior has been so offensive over past few years that, at this point, all I’m thinking is ‘damn the consequences’. It can’t self-regulate. Rip band aid off; come back when you’re humble, then we can talk

    The idea that governments would ever step in and ‘save’ the platform from Apple’s nannying, abuse, was a pipe dream few of us back in ’08 thought would happen in a million years. Yet somehow, bit by bit, Apple pushed far enough across that line to bring us to where we are today

    It was an incredibly-delicate, calculated 'truce' that relied on Apple not overstepping into abuse. Apple, through greed, was unable to maintain status quo. Instead of reform, set in motion to burn it all down + spent 3 years illustrating to devs just how small & worthless we are

    From the start, we knew the App Store was a symbiotic environment designed to create value-add for Apple devices by giving devs great tools to make apps to entice customers to Apple, whilst also ensuring to deny devs any ability to ever remotely threaten Apple's position of power

    The constant removal of older games from the App Store is just another bridge burned with game developers, who are far less invested in or tied to Apple’s platforms than app devs. If Apple’s dominance ever does come crashing down, they’ll have no friends left to pick them back up

    Fortunately this doesn’t seem to be the case outside the US, but still, very sad. I’ve been using Deliveries since its original Dashboard widget; it’s one of the incredibly-few apps I subscribe to today

    . is removing a few of my old games b/c they have “not been updated in a significant amount of time” Games can exist as completed objects! These free projects aren’t suitable for updates or a live service model, they’re finished artworks from years ago.

    Just a couple of tweaks, and a manually-rebuilt project file, and up it comes! Seventeen years later (☠️). This version of the app lasted but a month before I remade it from scratch, and I barely remember this particular interpretation
