#altstore — Public Fediverse posts

Did you know that #CastLab is an open source app that lets you cast pictures, videos and audio to your TV?

It uses the #DLNA protocol and is designed to be easy to use without any technical knowledge. It automatically detects devices, and you can cast entire albums or create your own playlists.
Available on #FDroid and soon on #Altstore

#HolosSocial will soon reach #Fdroid official builds and also be available on Google Play. For #iOS, it is already on TestFlight and #Altstore.

The relay has been reduced to its minimum of dependencies, but remains necessary. Currently, only https://holos.social exists.

You could host a relay in a different region (currently Europe). The goal is not to have one big relay with smaller ones around it.

Please share. More about it: https://holos.social/how-it-works

Anyone used #AltStore Classic to sideload apps on #iPhone ? #AskFedi

#Apple #FreeSoftware #iOS #prav

@prav was rejected by #Apple from app store saying it is similar to #Quicksy and #Monal. So we are exploring our options to make Prav available to iPhone users. Ideas and help welcome.

We are also looking at #aptoid and also filing a complaint with Competition Commission. Why should we allow Apple to gatekeep apps on iPhone?

AltStore kommt aufs iPhone mit Patreon-Integration
In einem Schritt, der die Art und Weise, wie iPhone-Apps in der Europäischen Union (EU) vertrieben werden, verändern könnte, hat AltStore angekündigt, einen alternativen App-Marktplatz mit Patreon

So, I just realized that #AltStore is advising people to turn off #AMFI and #SIP on #macOS #Sonoma (due to the removal of mail plugins)

THIS IS A BAD IDEA.
AMFI especially will break apps like Discord. Not to mention greatly reducing security.
This should not be recommended for users who do not understand the terminal and are blindly copy-pasting.

Also, for a solution that does work, AOSKit.framework does not require any entitlements, nor a mail plugin. I have no idea why no-one uses it. It even works in Python! (see https://github.com/JJTech0130/pypush/blob/0f2901a1095dd25bbe190cca0f636f151461496b/gsa.py#L37)

(I know no-one follows me, so this PSA probably won't have any effect... the woes of Mastodon)
