But those stories are hand curated! Why would you want to filter out something a minimum wage peon determined was quality reporting??

I keep thumbs downing specific dumbass columnists and it keeps showing me them it drives me up the wall!

Also yeah I think artifact ain’t it. I do my news stuff using Inoreader and rss mostly

I feel like Apple News used to block articles from blocked sources? IIRC the gray box showing that an article/source was blocked would still be there and it might have said what the source was, but I don’t remember it telling you the title of it or anything. Just something like “an article from Fox News was blocked”.

That’s what it has for me but why not just fetch some other article? It’s dumb as heck.

Finding good news sources that support rss is harder and harder now, it sucks.

You can also lock the porn tab behind Face ID now.

Not that any of us would have a reason to do so.

(Also yeah all the safari changes are definitely cleaner UX.)

Game changer

Was there any consensus on the best way to get around blocking YouTube ads on iOS?

What works for me is using the Safari browser for youtube and the Vinegar extension, works great (so far)

Wasn’t that iBooks design just a ripoff of the Delicious Library app :haw:

There’s a term for that when Apple especially just absorbs good features of other apps into their software and effectively kill that app but I can’t remember it dammit.

Delicious library actually got me interested in owning a macbook, it was such a slick app at the time, I loved it. Back when big DVD libraries were a thing lol

I had a weird issue this morning where the navigation on my main infotainment screen seemed frozen in that my position didn’t move, but the map it puts on my instrument cluster was correct. Just changing from route overview to the closer in where it’s showing from above your POV seemed to kick it into working again. Strange!

I use GMail but am kinda over the app and how it is full of ads and keeps trying to get me to use Chrome.

What are people using? Is the Apple Mail good enough?

I've moved to Fastmail and am migrating most things away from Gmail. It can have your Gmail or icloud or whatever accounts in it too!

Is Paprika the go-to app for recipe organization? It's 5 bucks but if it's good and doesn't have a subscription i'm happy to pay it.

Here's a dumb question - these days I'm getting most of my recipes from Instagram reels because I'm a basic bitch. Is there any app or shortcut that will: 1) Save the video to either an app like Paprika or to a note in the notes app AND 2) save the caption from the video along with the video?

I found this site https://instavideosave.net that will let me save the videos, but it doesn't have the caption which doesn't help me.

I really like paprika and it always seems to parse recipes from whatever website I throw at it. One strange thing is the search function is a little weird, sometimes I will search for a word like “bread” and it doesn’t get all of the items with bread in the title. No idea why! My only beef with it.

Saving video clips sounds interesting, I haven’t ever thought of that but might be handy to have a YouTube link or something!

Oh I would love if Paprika could OCR stuff, I have a few America’s Test Kitchen Books with favourites in there I don’t want to have to type out!

Seems a little less useful now that ocr is in the camera and photos apps, but for big batches for sure.

Yeah I forget that is a thing, I should give that a try on a couple favs

I bought a yubikey but apparently you need two for using the Apple implementation? I just use it with 1pass instead.

Yeah I have news as part of the One bundle but it annoys me frequently. Like not being able to truly block, or the stupid ads. I tried that artifact thing for a bit for news and it was not great either and is defunct now I think. Meh.

My iOS to Imgur upload shortcut seems to have broken, anyone know a good share sheet shortcut for photo sharing (to whatever free service, not sure if imgur is still the best option)

Also is there an iOS shortcut thread here?

I'm in Canada so maybe it's different where you all live but tracking is always wildly off for me. I'll have stuff delivered that says it's still in another province on the tracking info, or I'll get a delivery notification for something that arrives two hours later because the guy delivering poo poo wanted to improve his delivery timing metrics in whatever hellscape capitalist software he's being forced to use. This is with Canada Post, Purolator, Amazon, pretty much any tracking.

Yeah for me purolator is the worst. It will go from “left shipping depot” (usually Brampton) and then not change to anything else until 3 days after it has actually arrived.
