Our Reading
The launch follows a familiar script.
AltStore PAL, a platform for iOS developers, has added support for the fediverse, enabling them to share updates and alerts on Mastodon and Threads. Because what every developer needs is another platform to maintain. The update arrives with its own Mastodon server, because decentralized social networking wasn’t already a thing. This is what passes for innovation in the tech world. AltStore PAL is now a part of the fediverse, because that’s a thing now. The “new” feature is just another way to share updates, because that’s not something you could already do.
AltStore PAL’s “groundbreaking” move is just another iteration of the same old thing.
