This year we had to make some tough decisions. “To Air or to Pro?” That’s the question. After thinking long and hard, I decided that it was too hard to pick. So I got both. Problem solved! Oh, and I grabbed the new Ultra 3, AirPods Pro 3, plus some accessories. Let’s go! #iPhoneAir #iPhone17ProMax

Sorry, with respect, @hennavirkkunen.bsky.social, @vaicat.bsky.social and our software aren't a punchline or a data point. Besides we have left the station of 'reasonable intervention' behind a long time ago. My business is stuck in a cocktail of seemingly infinite and complex compliance burdens.

“Global Extension” is a new feature coming to mEUvy that helps international users outside the EU/EEA compare their city with a city within the EU. How it works: - mEUvy automatically locates your international city. - You select the EU city you want to compare with. - And your comparison is ready!

It happened. Read the #vaicatx announcement here: www.vaic.at/announcing-e...

Let's get started.

Something epic is coming soon!

Epic Games is acting like it’s entitled to special treatment from App Review—despite being the same company that covertly hotfixed Fortnite to bypass Apple’s payment system in 2020. The audacity to now complain about the deeper review process after that history is wild.

This is a sad attempt to exert pressure on the App Review team. Apple users want Apple to remain focussed on ensuring a safe and secure App Store, not one that enables game studios to deliberately violate terms of service within the platform.

10 days ago mEUvy officially launched on the Apple App Store. We now reached 30 active users and are receiving incredible feedback. We understand you want MORE European cities and availability in different languages! We put it all on the list. Also... Read more: mastodon.social/@meuvy/11449...

Great news: you can now download mEUvy App from the App Store! Download now: apps.apple.com/nl/app/meuvy...

A lot of people are cheering the latest court blow to Apple. Those celebrating—includes game studios known for dark patterns and aggressive monetization targeting kids—aren’t exactly champions of user freedom. Apple appealed, rightfully so. Let’s unpack the full picture in the thread below.

PSA: We have removed the mEUvy application from the Apple App Store due to technical issues with the profile + recommendation system. We have resolved the problem, and the application has been resubmitted for Apple’s App Review. In the meantime here are fresh new screenshots to enjoy.

The power outage in Europe today is the exact reason why I have these two.
