@dansup excited to try it out 🙌

@dansup booooo Apple, what are they rejecting it for??

There’s definitely been a small (but noticeable) shift in how Apple’s treated us this past year; I’m hopeful it’s indeed a sign their approach to alternative marketplaces is evolving

Sup. the fediverse messenger is modular, and will support Matrix, Discord, Signal and other providers, allowing you to manage all your conversations easily, and with fine grained notifications, with one app. And the entire Sup. platform will be open source, and will target F-Droid and Altstore […]

@dansup it’s not like the form factor is a perfect fit or anything 🤪

*sigh*

Welp guess I won’t be able to actually test Delta on the Duo before it launches 😪

I changed my iPhone’s lock sound to be Mario saying “BYE BYE!” and it’s music to my ears every time I lock my device 😌
