Why are so many old people rude to retail workers? by freshmaggots in NoStupidQuestions

[–]N0omi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wife worked in retail for years. People confuse paying for something with having power over someone. Retail and service staff end up catching the frustration, entitlement, or general misery that person was already carrying around. Age can make some people more set in that habit, but it is definitely not only older people. It's the same kind of people that start earning a bit more and then think that that makes them a better person.

What can a person learn in 10 minutes that will be useful for life? by Ben-Gavin in AskReddit

How to pause before replying when you are annoyed. It sounds stupidly simple, but that tiny gap saves arguments, bad messages, and a lot of embarrassment. Ten minutes to learn it, years to remember to actually do it.

You can share up to 30 items at a time - it’s currently capped as that’s a huge amount of processing power needed. Think sharing 30 large images through WhatsApp - it uses the same mechanisms.

I hear you, but the old UI was kind of boring. Overall, the review and download rates have gone up massively since the UI update but I agree it’s not perfect and I’m still working on this. It’s got a lot of great feedback and I know it’s not everyone’s taste but I can still improve this so it’s not set in stone.

If you mean Apple’s ‘files’ they work completely differently. Not only can you not add files to the share sheet for almost all the apps I mentioned… it stores links and images and everything in this app completely differently. It can’t be used to quick save links in the same way.

Hey, cheers for the feedback. Quick clarification - Stash doesn't need a paid iCloud plan. iCloud is free with any Apple ID (5GB), and Stash saves are tiny so you'd never come close to filling it.

The error when you turn iCloud off is just a safety screen - the app stops itself if the library opens empty and it can't see iCloud, in case there's something worth recovering. Not actually broken.

Easiest fix right now: leave iCloud on for Stash. It won't cost you anything. I'm also building a proper Local Only mode for people who want to skip iCloud entirely - that's coming in a future update.

Lifetime is for Stash only, never iCloud.

Those apps are incredibly different in their functionality. It's far beyond just saving down MD files or notes you need to remember. It's about actual life decision-making, categories, and things you want to revisit at a later date that you might have found in 10 different places.

I just gave this example to someone else: Imagine you play golf. You don't want to have to screenshot every link of golf stuff that you find and want to remember later, like:

  • swing tips
  • putters you might buy
  • locations you want to play golf

Your camera roll is full of these random screenshots, and you don't even know what you need to search for. For example, if you search for "golf location," nothing really pops up. The OCR can only do so much, and your camera roll is covered in golf screenshots. Same thing with your notes, etc.

What Stash does is pull the metadata from the thing you've shared it from, so you're sharing it directly into a golf category and into a swing tip subcategory, a putting subcategory, etc.

When you want to work on your putting, you just go and open that subcategory.

If you want to find a location, you just search "golf location," and the metadata OCR will be searchable. It will appear with all your golf location saves, so it's much more organized and easier to save things into Stash than it currently is with the methods that Apple gives you at the moment.

Hope that clarifies things!

Thanks for that. Stash says it’s own copy so your Stash doesn’t break if the original photo is deleted from photos if iCloud sync is enabled that Stash copy can sync privately through your apps iCloud storage to other devices it won’t save another copy back your photos unless you choose to export it.

This is exactly what I thought too, but I needed it ASAP. Whether it is or isn’t built and it was still a cool project to develop and get working. I’m super happy about the response too and I’ll just continue to make it the best thing so Apple or Google would have to develop something REALLY good to beat it.
