#Apple iPhone Apps

[feminist-space]

You can go to Settings --> Apps --> Photos --> (scroll down to) Enhanced Visual Search --> toggle to off

"Apple last year deployed a mechanism for identifying landmarks and places of interest in images stored in the Photos application on its customers iOS and macOS devices and enabled it by default, seemingly without explicit consent.

Apple customers have only just begun to notice.

The feature, known as Enhanced Visual Search, was called out last week by software developer Jeff Johnson, who expressed concern in two write-ups about Apple's failure to explain the technology, which is believed to have arrived with iOS 18.1 and macOS 15.1 on October 28, 2024."

Apple had secret “French” icons for iPhone apps that I got to see because I snuck into one of their meetings.

PLEASE DO NOT GIFT ME BADGES

Tumblr is getting rid of avatars and no longer showing where a reblog comes from in post headers to “afford more room for badges.”

I always felt kinda bad when I was gifted badges and then didn’t use them, cuz people spent actual money on them. So I’m asking, please do not gift me badges, or any other tumblr merch for that matter.

I threw them a bone last year and paid for the ad-free because the ads and blazed softcore porn on the app were infuriating, but I’m canceling it. They’re not getting anything from me anymore. I’ll have to switch back to using the Firefox mobile browser. Hopefully the new dash un-fuckers that are going around will work on mobile.

Guys what the fuck is up with Apple. Why did they change the photos app. It was perfectly fine before hand. How could they do this to me.

Hey hi hello, would like to notify anybody following me that I might be pretty quiet for the next little while.

(This is unrelated to any Current Events)

Accepting a routine terms of service update on my iPhone the other day took a massive MASSIVE half hazard chunk out of all of the notes stored on my iCloud account, setting some back months and months and entirely deleting others, with no care for dates edited and no way for me to even know for sure how much is actually missing without checking for specific things.

Some were my only written record of certain character or story concepts, one was a list of specific ideas to draw that I edited very regularly (practically every other day) and it has been mercilessly reverted to a version from the end of May this year with absolutely no way to recover it.

This kind of loss of my own written records is a personal nightmare of mine, especially because I do not have a fantastic memory. As an artist and a writer this is a massive blow, and I am emotionally devastated.

I am safe/well mentally and physically, I will come back from this emotionally, all is not lost, and I know especially that this is not the worst thing going on in the world at this particular moment. For my own sanity I needed to express my feelings about this, and for the sake of anyone following me I wanted to quickly mention why you might not hear much from me in the coming days.

Sorry, love ya! Ttyl 👋

So apparently, you can get a refund on app subscriptions on iOS?

It’s unintuitive, but the way you do it is to go to your purchase history, choose the app you accidentally subscribed to, and click “report a problem”. And that’s the tricky part, because if I hadn’t been so upset about a $43 charge on an app I haven’t opened since install, I wouldn’t have tried “report a problem” because it’s not an error? At least not a computer error.

That button then takes you to apple’s website where you can choose an “allowed” reason for wanting your refund, and then it takes 24-48 hours to process.
