It’s actually been working really well for me on the latest beta. Seems they’ve improved the system

It is definitely just Bluetooth. Works exactly the same way it worked with AirPods before they added ultra wide band

I am generally curious what you mean by centrist nut jobs? The whole point of the centre is to be somewhere in the middle and therefore the best of both worlds that everyone has something in common with as far as I’m concerned

Parcel (all platforms): the best shipment tracker you’ll ever use

Solves (all platforms): it’s basically identical to the built in calculator but is 1,000,000x better

Music Library Tracker (iOS, iPadOS): keeps track of the change in your Apple Music library and can automatically make a spatial audio playlist for you

Mlem (iOS, iPadOS): the best Lemmy client

Vinegar (all platforms): a Safari extension that makes YouTube use the native video player, adds PiP for free and removes ads!

Baking Soda (all platforms): replaces custom video players in other sites with the native one

Crouton (all platforms): a natively built recipe manager. I don’t use it much but it’s really well made

MacWhisper (macOS): uses openAI’s whisper model to create super accurate transcriptions of audio and video files

Monitor Control (macOS): allows you to control the brightness of external monitors (other than Apple’s)

Calipers Tape Measure (iOS): a super accurate set of Calipers for your iPhone

Cric Pulse (iOS): the only cricket app with live activities

I cannot recommend Crouton enough https://apps.apple.com/app/id1461650987

All this means is that it’s opt out, rather than opt in. They’re not saying that there’s no way to disable it. In fact there’s already a way to disable it

As far as I’m aware, on the App Store, reviews only count for the platform that you review on. So if you go look at an iOS app on the Mac App Store, you’d see different reviews than that same app on the iOS App Store. Presumably, it would be the same here

Wdym “active notifications”? Do you mean live activities? Those have been a thing since iOS 16

This is an app clip suggestion based on your location. Siri suggestions can suggest things based on many factors such as location, time of day, recent apps, etc. These suggestions can be things like opening an app or texting someone. All of that processing is done on your device. As I said, this is for an App Clip based on your location. An app clip is like a mini app designed to do one single task. For instance, an app clip might be for paying for fuel at a petrol station. App clips are designed to be extremely small so you can download it quickly and easily and the delete them when you’re done. So in summary, you’re seeing a Siri suggestion to download an app clip that is linked to that nearby church. It’s probably some touristy thing. You can change all of your Siri suggestion settings under Settings > Siri & Search

It’s so annoying lol. I see absolutely no reason why I couldn’t have my Medicare card in the wallet app

I don’t think the reason has anything to do with custom fitting. Apple has stores all over, just like in the U.S. I reckon the main issue is Sony being unable to produce more than 400,000 headsets worth of displays in year one which naturally makes an international release difficult

There is not

They’re actually adding shared playlists in iOS 17.1 (finally). As for playlists, I think it’s just up to your own preference

It is. But this one will just go on forever. Not entirely sure what the point of having a station and a playlist is 🤷‍♂️

Well said! I think I agree with pretty much all of that

Islam is just one religion. It’s not all religions and not all religious people are like that. Not even all followers of Islam are like that. Dislike a person for what they have done. Don’t dislike a person for what they believe. I’m not suggesting that no one has done anything bad for a religion at all. I’m saying hating a person simply because they identify as a part of a religion is extremely shortsighted and makes this world worse

Ah, I see. Well to explain what I mean, I was saying that the message he was converting could be misinterpreted and imo it should be stated more prominently what he actually means so that he doesn’t sound like one of these people. For the record, I am specifically referring to the last part of his message

Are you suggesting that there is not one single person who hates religious people? All I’m saying is that people should accept other people and leave them to believe what they want to believe. I don’t think any reasonable person would disagree with that freedom

You’re absolutely right. That is a very important distinction to make. One which I think should be more actively emphasised. There are absolutely people who hate people for being religious. Definitely want to clarify to make it clearer what is meant

Obviously I can understand not liking it when people single out one group and ignore another. But am I correct in understanding that you’re saying you like people more for “hating” groups of people who are different to you? Don’t get me wrong, there are without question aspects of certain religions which are harmful. But saying that hating every religious person is a good thing is way over the top. Everyone deserves to be respected and treated well, not hated because of their beliefs.
