How does this just suddenly happen… 🤦‍♂️

@matthewcassinelli I’d try going to the “Go” menu in Finder, hold down the option key and click “Library” open the folder called “Caches” delete its contents, empty the trash, and rebooting your mac. If there is a folder called App Store in the Caches folder you could probably just delete that. A Time Machine back up before doing this is not a bad idea but I have never had a problem.

Screen Time is so broken in #IOS18 it’s funny verging on impressive 🤦‍♂️

@lamp You could also use a Shortcut like this one that grabs the url from your clipboard, downloads the video, and then prompts you with the share menu. https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/6259cc6a88fa49c8bbfdcb1af8f20524

@HilliTech Congrats!!

This is the sad state of the #ShortcutsApp in 2024 😓

Even a simple #shortcut to show a notification with the current track playing requires arcane knowledge¹² to tackle the inexplicable quirks of the editor

And this is a #SwiftUI app. The future of #Apple development 🙄

(¹) The attached variable is there, but it's not visible. You can blindly tap to get the menu, though.
(²) And when you try to customize the "Current song" variable in the text, get ready for a "not this one but that one" dance

OMFG I am soooo excited right now!!! This looks like its going to be AMAZING!! 🤓🎉 🥳😍 #BetterTouchTool

@macsparky Great episode!! :)

The worst complaint about Shortcuts is the one you never hear because someone has given up on the app.

@johnvoorhees @nileane Love this app!! Best transit app by far!! I agree it does have the best implementation of Live Activities hands down!! 👍

I can't emphasize how much I love this app. It has never left my phone since I first installed it over a decade ago. I highly recommend checking it out!! 👍 https://mastodon.macstories.net/@johnvoorhees/112204093686809442

@matthewcassinelli That’s awesome!! Congrats!!

@Luci@toot.site I use Mona and it has been great!

Welp. https://512pixels.net/2024/01/basecamp-resubmits-its-calendar-app-includes-dates-in-apple-history-to-get-past-app-review/

@johnvoorhees @appstories @viticci Again another great episode!! @johnvoorhees have you tried using the app “Voice Dream” for text to speech? It doesn’t have any Shortcuts support but it does have Dropbox and Google Drive support. You could always upload articles as PDFs to Dropbox via Shortcuts 🤷‍♂️ 🤔https://apps.apple.com/ca/app/voice-dream-read-aloud/id496177674

I have been really enjoying using the Custom Floating Menus feature provided by BetterTouchTool. I have made them for several different apps. They give me quick access to run BetterTouchTool automations, Keyboard Maestro macros, Applescripts, Shortcuts, etc. without having to assign a keyboard shortcut or a stream deck button to it. #Automations #MacOS #BetterTouchTool

@splitmind They got rid of the SMC reset Option for apple silicon. So try reviving it using apple configurator incase it is a firmware problem. Make sure you have a backup before trying this! https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201295
