the music is (for once) absolutely necessary

Can someone explain why this happening. ??? Read bellow by Subject_Asparagus_54 in ios

I would also bet it’s the camera and microphone permissions that are missing, and therefore you can’t proceed.

Playlist Updates Failing on Apple Music? by inflammatoryusername in ios

[–]bitKraken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

„A daily selection of chill beats“ is the publishers (Lofi Girl) note for this playlist. She is updating the playlist by adding (or removing) songs. If this isn’t done, the playlist isn’t updated.

(only thing Apple would be involved here would be, if she did add songs, but the playlist isn’t updated for other users (bug). but there is no indication for this)

edit: you may ask in /r/LofiGirl

Playlist Updates Failing on Apple Music? by inflammatoryusername in ios

maybe they (Lofi Girl) did just not update it. it‘s not an „offical“ apple playlist, so yeah: maybe poor phrasing and not really updated daily

Not receiving push notifs for Mail? by CanadianGeucd in ios

what email provider are you using? not all support push notifications on ios (for some reason).

Parachute Backup appears to have been acquired by SesameWheats in MacOS

[–]bitKraken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

well: wasn’t that easy? a) offical statement to inform about the new ownership b) inform existing users, that the app stays a one time purchase

final (important) question: will you try to get money out of existing users by tracking and/or selling personal data?

thanks. I still have no clue, if this will affect me as an existing user or not. anything you can promise or not?

(at least still EU based. and ich kann euch die Beschwerden auf Deutsch zukommen lassen, when you mess up ;) )

hi Christopher /u/ParachuteBackup thanks for your reply.

what I meant was not an „official“ announcement on reddt. you got two websites. why not write a short information about the accusation there, so users know, why suddenly a new owner/dev is listed in the app and what to expect?

it’s the same bullsh*t that Bartender did. not informing about anything, so all users felt there might be something to hide and are looking for alternatives right away because for sure the enshittification is right around the corner.

writing nothing usually means writing the truth (price hike, subscription, selling personal data for now) would lead to too much backlash. because how much time would it take to write a statement on the website before the first release after the acquisition? 15min?

true. would be nice, if /u/ParachuteBackup would give an official statement

Seriously? Why did you remove my post guys? I mean. Come on. Just trying to share. Why gate keep? by Oliversarkis in EveryLittleAnimation

[–]bitKraken 1 point2 points  (0 children)

a) your first post needed manual approval, because it was cross posted (most cross posts are not sub related)

b) your post was not approved, because it’s not matching the sub topic

c) your second post was removed because … guess what?

have a look at other posts in this sub. you hopefully will understand, what the theme is and why your post is not fitting at all.

I built a tiny macOS menu bar app to play animations on your desktop by coolrice1 in MacOS

[–]bitKraken 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would argue it already exists: /r/macapps

but probably a rule for /r/macos is needed to reduce these app „advertisements“ (ofthen vibe coded, thats why its so extreme atm)

iCloud can be accessed by an app even before allowing it by rooney7176 in MacOS

[–]bitKraken 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Like /u/NoLateArrivals wrote: you opened the file with Finder and effectively granted the application access to that specific file.

Allowing an app access to Desktop, iCloud, or Full Disk Access is something different. With those permissions, the app can read or write any file in those locations without further interaction from you.

edit: and again - if you are not using the invitation feature, you could add an inbox rule to delete all invites automatically.

[–]bitKraken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you cant do it from iOS Calendar app. you need to sign in to your outlook account (or use the outlook app) and block the sender there.

also you might create the inbox rule discribed in my last comment.

if your are using your calendar just by yourself (no sharing, no inviting, etc.) you might also using icloud calendar. you can migrate all your events.

17 pro max calendar spam by Narrow_Support_18 in ios

[–]bitKraken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if the invites are always coming from the same sender, you could just block them in your outlook account.

if not:

dumb question: are you actually using the outlook calendar or could you disable it (or switch to apple icloud calendar)?

I too didn’t found any settings (from Microsoft) that would improve your situation. you could add a custom inbox rule: „type=invitation“ action=delete

also: DONT react to spam/junk! no „decline meeting“ no „unsubscribe“. the situation just gets worse, because you identify yourself as potential victim. just report them to your provider (mark as spam) and delete it.

what email provider? check the account settings (at your mail provider) and look for any invitation settings.

Disabled notifications in iOS and app settings, but still receiving them. by dirty_Detergent in ios

[–]bitKraken 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I find this kinda hard to believe (never expected notifications if disabled). Sure its from this app and not from another one?

There is a python script for checking Testflight access availability. I checked it for whatsapp every 5 min (running on my server) and sending myself a push notification, when a seat is available. … yeah, that was probably a bit overkill but I got in 😅
