I feel I am being stupid but the only strings I can’t seem to localize in my intents are strings returned in a IntentDialog. I've done the following (among many variations) and I just get back English.

// intent swift file
return .result(dialog: IntentDialog("(item) has been saved"))

// standard app localization file
"%@ has been saved = "%@ wurde gespeichert";

Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Everything else works so whatever I've done wrong is specific to this scenario.

@MuseumShuffle I've done that too for my AppShortcut(). Which makes it more confusing that the Summary localizations need to be Localizable but with the same ${} format.

I've assumed anything in the handler code, like a variable should be Localizable file with the old %@ format. I'm not sure, it's the only thing I can't find an example of so I can't tell if I've done something wrong.

@fds@mastodon.social avatar

@MuseumShuffle I've figured it out. It feels redundant so there may be better ways but this works.

return .result(dialog: IntentDialog(stringLiteral: String(localized: "(item) has been saved")))) 👍

Authy is such a pita. I'll admit the only reason I'm still using it is the hassle of moving my 2FA tokens out of authy but I really must do that asap. I can't believe how poor the update process is that makes you sit there through multiple updates hoping each one is the last one.

There’s a new version of my finger client for iOS out now. It's mostly improvements to enable you to make the most of it through the widget rather than using the app.

If this classic networking method is still your thing and you don't want to do it old school through an iOS terminal, then give it a try.

Can you imagine the conversations going on right now in all the startup companies that built their product on top of ChatGPT?

I don't mean to mock or belittle any of them -- some of those services are good, some are just a layer of html/css/javascript dirt on top of OpenAI

But it really shows the risks of building a company entirely on top of someone else's product

fds,

@clive surely a bunch of ex Apple employees would know not to leave your product that dependent on a third party.

Half-Life was truly groundbreaking: https://half-life.com/en/halflife25

(we shall not speak of Half-Life 2, which I consider an OK game at best.)

@codinghorror I've got to agree. HL was far better than HL2. Mind you HL2 was a reasonable follow up. It would have been impossible to recreate the feeling of the first.

'Stop The Madness' dev calls for boycott of Apple's Feedback Assistant

@appleinsider it’s a nice idea but I just don’t believe Apple will do better given the scale of feedback compared to companies only with internal feedback being equally useless.

After 1047 days, my AirPods Max might be dead. 💀🎧
They fail to connect to devices 80% of the time, often requiring 2-3 factory resets before repairing. Battery drain is also an issue; they'll drop 80-90% overnight, even inside their case.

fds,
@fds@mastodon.social avatar

@BasicAppleGuy Mine just died one day just over the 2 year mark. Fortunately the Apple store person still let me get a free repair. The repaired AirPods Max died in less than 6 months. The lights come on if it's plugged in but I can't connect it to any device. I love the Max headphones in many ways but what I can only assume the condensation issue makes them very susceptible to dying. So, they're really no worth the cost, sadly.

@Aaron I’m in two minds about it. I think they should do it but also I think in doing so it might cause more problems for everyone but them. So maybe it’s for the best they just want to focus on lazy algorithms and building their own empire.

Netflix has raised prices more frequently in the last few years than I've found a great new show on Netflix.

fds,
@fds@mastodon.social avatar

@marcoarment Maybe it's hard to judge as I'm less interested in tv over all but Netflix is usually the last one to go to. It's hidden away on the Apple TV and tbh, Apple TV+ has had more than enough good, new content to keep me going. Then Disney for older content.

What's the over/under on installing Sonoma now? Any issues before I take the plunge?

fds,
@fds@mastodon.social avatar

@christianselig I installed it on day one an two M1 machines and it’s been fine. Desktop widgets have been solid and the live desktop is excellent.

The only platform giving my grief is iOS 17. Post hotness update I get what appears to be frozen screens at times and black views for the camera view.

29 years ago on October 13, 1994, Mosaic Netscape 0.9 was released, introducing the concept of cookies to the Internet and delivering a significant improvement over previous web browsers.

Mosaic Netscape 0.9 played a major role in the popularisation of the World Wide Web. It made the web more accessible to a wider audience

Welcome to Netscape Beta 0.9

@SinclairSpeccy Long before Silicon Valley ruined the Internet. I wouldn't have used it until the Netscape 2.x version and unfortunately that was on win3.11 for longer than I would have liked but it was a great time.

The Shazam integration in triode by @Iconfactory is excellent. This will be very handy for some of my niche radio programs 👍

@Iconfactory Not a problem. I’m sure I’ve given a star rating but I’m more than happy to write something for an app I’ve put more hours into than probably any other. 👍

You know how, by default, the <textarea> field stays the same size when people type sentences into the form field? The CSS Working Group is creating a new CSS property so you can style a form field (text-area and input) to grow fit its content —so you don’t have to use JavaScript to do this!

What should this property be called?

field-sizing: content;
or
form-sizing: content;

(Where content = do sizing like other elements. Or use fixed = act like you always have.)

fds,
@fds@mastodon.social avatar

@jensimmons I choose form sizing as I assume the whole form could adjust in size but I think I regret my choice now too.

The ads in Apple News are both high-class and high-resolution.

fds,
@fds@mastodon.social avatar

@gruber Apple news in the UK does not appear to get these ads. It's usually ads for Apple things or financial advice aimed at retirees. I’m not close to being retired so they're not well targeted. In general all web ads are garbage. I think it's the natural effect of cheaper advertising rates and quality brands have their own website as an advertisement. I'm sure Apple would like News to look like an old magazine wrt to ads but that sort of advertising just is gone.

Some interesting photos of Apple's new London HQ at Battersea Power Station in this article, which I don't think have been public before. I got to visit when I went to the Vision Pro labs, and can confirm it does look this nice!

@bzamayo This is really nice. I assume it might be some how related to the open banking standard by this line "Users can securely authorize the integration through the Wallet app, using a familiar OAuth flow."
