For those who haven’t heard or tried for themselves, iOS 15 makes shortcut permissions much more granular. Now every time a third party action accesses any sort of image, there’s a permission. Every time you delete something, there’s a permission. Basically, anytime you do anything, it’s a permission. They’re so strict that you get prompted for permissions on shortcuts you made.
Altogether, this means that some of my own shortcuts required 20 or more permissions. Each one is a separate pop up. And that means many of your automations will not work until you grant these permissions. Once they’re set to always allow it’s not such a big deal, but this is way out of hand.

With the custom Anki Deck and Shortcut, you can simply share a text selection, select definitions using Jisho.org’s API, and the shortcut will automatically collect the word information and add it to a flashcard.
I want to use a spare iPhone I have at the moment that will be always powered on and plugged in to refresh and monitor a particular website for any changes in text.
If the text or information on the website changes, it should send me an email or play an alarm.
Think this would be possible through an iOS shortcut?
Or, if anyone knows a free non-shortcut way to perform a similar function, I’d appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks.

I’m looking for podcasts to get in the mood for Halloween. I listen to “No sleep”, “Spooked” and “Lore” but if you have suggestions for ghosts/scary/paranormal stories that’ll be nice 🎃
Using the argument that podcaster Chris Lambert was a member of the media and therefore protected under the First Amendment and Shield Law, the judge in the preliminary hearing for Kristin Smart’s murder suspects ruled the podcaster won’t have to testify.
I posted about this a few weeks ago when the defense suppoenaed Lambert. He objected last week and the ruling was made today. His research for the popular podcast Your Own Backyard helped renew interst in the case and likely led to murder charges for the person long believed to be the killer. The defense hoped to get his research and possibly show police interference.
The podcaster worked with police during a period when the suspect family was under wiretap surveillance at the beginning of the year. Police told Lambert they had a white pickup in their possession, which he reported in an episode of the podcast. Whether they had the truck or not is not clear (please correct me if anyone knows), but it worked as a red …
Hey team,
Most of my favourite podcasts (Little Dum Dum Club, Do Go On, You Made It Weird, WTF, Adam Buxton Podcast) all have stand ups as hosts. Regardless of the focus or format I just tend to like hearing good comedians riff or balance their topic with humour.
I’d love some recommendations of other podcasts that do this well that I may not have heard.
It’s basically internet mysteries. Not murder or criminal, just odd tech issues that they help resolve or find the answers to.
But reply all got semi-canceled and they don’t really do that segment often. Are there good altneratives?
Cost doesn’t matter, subscriptions are fine as well.
I’ve listened to podcasts for a decade now but just recently took a new position that allows me to listen to podcasts….the entire day.
So my log is about to quadruple and I want an app that helps keep all of that in clean and usable interface. I’m currently using Overcast but the more I use it the more I feel it might be missing things so just wanted to see what some of you all used!
Till now I’ve never been a podcast guy and recently I’ve discovered how great they are. I often lose motivation to work harder and stick to my routine. I want something listening to which will motivate my ass to work more harder and more persistently on myself. Any recommendations?
A couple of years ago it came up in discussion that I had never read “The Phantom Tollbooth” as a kid. My wife, shocked and disgusted, immediately ordered a copy on Amazon. The night that the book arrived I lied down in bed next to my wife and, half-jokingly, started to read her a “bedtime story.” Flash forward to now and every night my wife and I have a “bedtime story” where we take turns reading together, aloud before going to sleep. What started out as a joke is something that we’ve really come to enjoy and helps to relax after a long, hard day of being adults. We’ve just finished our “The Tale of Desperaux” and are looking for suggestions for our next book.
Some books we’ve read and enjoyed:
Captain Bluebear
Redwall
Harry Potter
The Phantom Tollbooth
The Tale of Desperaux
Hatchet
The Hobbit (Tried Lord of the Rings but it’s just too long and heavy in this context)
We’re looking for new books to …
I am in my down times, financially unstable but preparing to travel the world! but at the mean time some book digging :)
any genre is welcomed

I’m not looking for self-help books, just books showing examples of healthy male-female romantic relationships. I’m a 23 year old male if that makes any difference.
I know there’s things I can improve upon in this area of my life so I’m looking for suggestions. I’d love to read books on feminism and pieces written by female authors, and understand female perspectives more. Thanks in advance.
I have always been a classic introverted guy. I dropped out of college 2 years ago due to emotional trauma etc. I’m 23 yrs old and I’m kinda 5 years behind in my life. I’ve stopped socializing almost completely be it on social media or in real life because of the shame and social anxiety. I’m starting with college this year and I will graduate by the time I’m 27. The thought graduating so late scares the shit out of me while my peers are already doing good paying jobs/businesses.
Right now, I’m really heavy on procrastination/guilt/social anxiety/low self-esteem. So please suggest books that help me with this major GUILT of falling behind/ starting college at 23.
PS: I read Man’s Search for Meaning and that was really helpful.
So I read the kite runner, after that I read the god of small things, and now I am reading Kafka on the shore but I would like to read something light hearted and sweet with no sexuality or sexual encounters. Looking forward to your suggestions. Thank you.
Edit: oh wow! this blew up. I made this post and went to bed. Just woke up to more than 100 comments. It’ll take me a while to get through them. Thanks everyone for the suggestions!
A game that you loved a lot and there was almost nothing you hated about it
Earlier today my cat that ive had for over 10 years passed away, so ive been really sad and just wanna get my mind of it and be happy, so no games with dark or sad stories or world I own a PC, PS5, Switch and a Oculus Quest
Hi all!
What I’m looking for might be quite specific, but I’ll try anyway.
Basically, I’m looking for:
Or games you never played for some reason, but have now discovered how great they are? Mine as of recently is Rust. Being a tarkov “no lifer”, I’ve now shifted over to Rust and am completely hooked!
Edit: Dang y’all really went off on this post! Really interesting to see the games people have shot off here!
Disclaimer: I have 8gb ram so games shouldn’t require more than this to work on max settings.
I want a game where nothing feels like it’s nailed to the floor and cannot be stolen.
I don’t want theft to be the point of the entire game, what I want is to ignore all the quests it offers and stealthily take everything from everyone’s house right under their noses.
I want theft to feel fulfilling and not just part of a quest I have to complete.
I don’t care about graphics and I prefer low-end rather than photorealistic.
And I mean, a REALLY good story (on Deus Ex, and Metal Gear Solid’s level, NOT, I don’t know, Call of Duty). Most of all, I’m looking for all the plot elements explored solid in the video game in question. In detail. If there are fan theories par for the course that hinge on some character’s conversations vital to the plot that are not fully looked into in the video game in question, then if possible I don’t want to play it. If the video game has sequels, even better. But a stand alone is also fine. If possible, related to technology. Nothing magic-related.
