I wonder if HomeBridge will still allow for remote control despite local only mode without Google Cloud.

I learned something new today. Well.ca sells Diva discs at $35 CAD, and Diva International is a Canadian company (Kitchener ON).

Cheaper, still Canadian, disc not a cup, and just think of all the disposable waste and recurring costs she’ll save.

Just make sure she boils in water it to sterilize in between. Or whatever the directions say.

Not sure about tampons, but here’s a Canadian (Quebec) made cup in case it helps. https://fornix.ca/

Thanks for reminding me about Thievery Corporation. I used to listen to them along with Massive Attack, Hooverphonic, Morcheeba, etc back in more mellow times.

But also, a big thank you for highlighting Song.Link! I’ve been looking for a service like this for quite awhile.

For Canadians who may be concerned about data privacy, especially US-based companies that may be subject to giving access to the US government under the US Patriot Act and/or Cloud Act, it might be worth the time to write some politicians for action.

There’s PIPEDA for federal level, as mentioned in the article, and there’s municipal level too. Most major cities have by-laws that govern Vehicles-for-Hire.

I’m not sure what they can do about this issue, but it’s worth raising the concern with your councillor in addition to your MP.

Sorry, he lives in the US now and we don’t want him back.

Although I think it would be quite entertaining if ICE deported him, in a face-eating leopard kind of way.

Thanks, I hadn’t heard about this release. I am here for anything Bruce Campbell.

Related but unrelated, this reminded me of an old 80s movie, They Call Me Bruce.

The ending and its dated late 60s Hollywood style makes me think it’s a tribute to the ending of The Graduate.

It doesn’t matter to them that they don’t know where they’re going or what they’ll do, just as long as they’re together.

A three-ply layered joke. Well done!

I always envisioned it was a speck of dust on the floor somewhere.

I love a good minimalism joke.

Reminds me of this short story from the early days of the internet.

Or maybe “blog post”, before we even called them that.

I’m coming back to add another request idea:

Ability to search Saved posts.

I save a lot of useful things on Lemmy but it’s difficult to find again later. You can’t search Saved Posts in this app nor on the website and you can’t set up an RSS feed like on Reddit to get the articles/posts out to somewhere else.

Even if you know the precise title of the post, general search on Lemmy almost never brings it up in the results.

I think Voyager could certainly help compensate for this shortcoming in Lemmy.

 

Is there a way to know which app triggered the shortcut call?

For instance, if I share files from the Files app, I could reference something to see “Files” or “iCloud Drive”. When it’s Mail, I’d see “Mail”. Etc.

I am trying to have one universal shortcut for file input but I need to specialize some actions depending on the app that provided the files.

I checked “Shortcut Input” but there aren’t a lot of choices to evaluate. “File Path” is inconsistent in what it will show: executing from the Shortcuts app and picking a file will shows “iCloudDrive/FolderName/Filename.ext” but sharing from the Files app will just show the filename.ext. Sharing from Mail shows the file content.

 

I found this nifty shortcut to backup all shortcuts. You can set it to an automation and do a rolling limited number of backups on a set schedule, like 10 zip files max, backed up weekly.

There’s a problem though. There’s an error on the Make Archive step.

I stripped the shortcut down to Get All Shortcuts, Make .zip of My Shortcuts. The error persists.

I’m not sure why it’s not working unless this is an existing Shortcuts bug at the moment.

Anyone know?

 

Anyone know how to tag an Apple Note with multiple tags?

I can create the note, append to it, and tag it with a variable or straight text but I cannot figure how to add multiple tags.

I tried a list, dictionary values, comma separated, new lines. I even tried looping over Add Tag action with a single tag but everything results in an error on trying to tag multiple times to the note.

Let me know if you’ve figured it out!
