@jarrod I can’t help but wonder if this is as prevalent in more progressed countries. You know, ones who won’t refuse to have a women as their elected leader.

@BasicAppleGuy Ooh la la 🤩

@alexcox I love this 😻

@kev Looks nice 👌

@matthewcassinelli Sounds about like my morning. I’m reminded strongly of this clip: youtu.be/AbSehcT19…

@dave Here’s what I’d watch 😁 jb.heydingus.net/2025/01/0…

@jsonbecker That’s well said. I think we’re on the same page.

@numericcitizen Sounds like fun!

@MacPsych Nice work!

@jsonbecker I like that approach. I think I just feel…I dunno…melancholy at the idea of further locking down the Internet against kids. There are legitimate reasons, for sure. But I also kinda think we lose opportunity to teach trust between people when we offload it to devices. And trust is at the center of everything. A book can’t verify my age, and I read plenty of those that were “inappropriate for my age”. But I don’t regret the person I am for reading them when I did… I think it’s the nuance that gets lost that makes me a bit uncomfortable.

@jsonbecker I largely agree. But I wonder what unintended consequences I’m not thinking of for such a system-level age verification would be.

@manton I like to think so.

@jsonbecker Could be! My memory’s not that good. But I think you already had it implemented when I came along.

@mako Here’s one that converts and/or resizes images: www.icloud.com/shortcuts…

@Gentry Right!? Buttons are the best, but I’ve been amazed at the ballooning of ways to call up shortcuts in the past few years.

@jsonbecker I follow it! It’s the method I’ll use if I ever pull the trigger and consolidate.

@MitchW Yes, they took off the end of the year. I expect they’ll be back on Monday.

@amerpie That’s super powerful

@jarrod Run it with the Action button, Back Tap, Siri, from the Control Center, a URL scheme, a widget, a Vocal Shortcut, the command line, or wherever you get your shortcuts™

@amerpie Lol that’s not something I’d ever considered. A good reminder indeed!

@mako What kind of tasks are you hoping to automate?

@BasicAppleGuy Digital camera. Would love to see what they could do with the physical space and focus of a dedicated camera.

@manton @numericcitizen @pixelfed That is so cool! Having it locally accessible with an HTML site is so user-friendly.

@amerpie Thanks for sharing! I just took a gander at Clop and it looks ✨amazing✨

@peterw No, I just use Micro.blog’s built-in Fediverse compatibility. No crossposting to a traditional Mastodon account here. Is alt text a variable you can control in EchoFeed? Also be careful of quote marks in the alt text. I’ve found that can make things a little screwy.
