I think I'm going to switch back to a pixel for my next phone fjndjd

Like there are (very very very) few things I prefer on iOS but for writing stuff, I use my pixel 3a 99% more often. Androids are generally just a lot more customizable anyway

hiii i was wondering how you get ur post texts to be pastel pink :) instead of this hot pink

Hiii 💕💕 okay so it actually has to do with coding 😭 I’ll try my best to explain. So basically, I go to this website ( https://jsfiddle.net ), this is where you can make any color text you want.

— STEPS BELOW —

Step One: So, once you’re there you’ll see this screen, I’m on mobile so it might look a lil different.

Step Two: Once there, you’ll go to the right side where the text boxes are.

Step Three: In the top box, you’ll want to type in whatever text you want to make a different color.

Step Four: Next, where the red and green color dots are, click on the red dot. This is going to be where the color starts. You can make the text whatever color you want.

note: you can make your text gradient, as in two different colors. I make my text just one color ( that pale pink color ), which means both the red and green dot must be the same color. For gradient, the red and green need to be whatever two colors you want to make gradient. For example, if you wanted to do yellow and purple gradient text, change the red to the color yellow and the green to the color purple.

*FFE5FA is the color of my pink text.

Step Five: After you’ve changed the color, hit the run button in between the text boxes.

Step Six: Once you’ve hit run, the text box below will generate the coding for your colored text.

Step Seven: Once it’s there, you’ll want to click on it and hit the ‘select all’ button.

note: I am using this on an iPhone, so it may very on a Samsung or computer. Just make sure you copy the whole thing of code

Step Eight: Once you’ve hit select all, hit the copy button

Step Nine: So now the text should be copied to clipboard and available to past where ever you want. After that, and this is an important detail or else it won’t work, you have to go to Tumblr Online, not the app.

Step Ten: Once you’re on tumblr, go to make a new post.

Step Eleven: Once you make the next post, you’ll want to go to the top right corner and click on the settings icon

Step Twelve: You should see a screen like the one below. At the bottom of that pop up where it says TEXT EDITOR, the icon next to it should say Rich Text.

Step Thirteen: Click on the Rich Text box, and options should pop up saying, Rich Text, HTML, Markdown

Step Fourteen: Click the HTML option

Step Fifteen: You should see this screen next

Step Sixteen: You’ll want to paste the HTML code you just copied next to or after the code already there like this

Step Seventeen: Okay then you’ll want to make sure it’s saved as a draft

note: if you go to your drafts first and then create a new post, then it should automatically have the save as draft option at the bottom. It’s quicker than doing it like normal and having to select save as draft.

Step Eighteen: It should look like this now

Step Nineteen: Congratulations! You’ve done the hard part. Now go back to mobile or the app because it’s easier for these next steps in my opinion.

Step Twenty: In the app, go to that saved draft and make the text bold if you so choose, it makes it stand out more that way

Extras: you only need to make one colored text when you make a post, which means you don’t need to go through that whole process for each line/word you want to make colored.

— just type whatever words you want colored next to the already colored text, then move it down a space.

— however, once you delete that line of colored text it cannot be recovered, you’d have to go through this process again.

ANYWAY, I hope this helped. I tried to make it as step-by-step as possible. 😁😁💕💕

I HATE IPHONE It is so GAY AND TEDIOUS TO USE & THERE ISN’T EVEN A CLIPBOARD? I utilize the clipboard extensively. & the emojis are ugly, and selecting all is difficult, and my keyboard does not have my favorite cute transparent heart. This is truly troublesome. What a pointless excuse of a status symbol, a pointless animal indeed. My phone died during the night, after I fell asleep on call. I woke up, she was pitch black. Tried to turn her on, she began to beep so scarily, perhaps she was coughing. Like eraserhead baby. It was her last sign of life.

Brave browser is no longer trustable

TLDR: Brave is manipulating what your browser does to profit the developers personally, sacrificing your security, privacy, bandwidth, and computer resources…. Again

u/Materidan on r/ios came upon a interesting discovery (https://www.reddit.com/r/ios/comments/14fdadr/brave_browser_may_be_compromised/)

To quote the post

> Brave Browser may be compromised.

> Really not sure where to post this, especially during the current API chaos in most subs.

> At any rate, I run a small informational website and had a message from someone complaining that whenever they tried to post using Brave on their iPhone or iPad, my adult filter would be triggered.

> So I downloaded Brave from the App Store onto my iPhone, tried it out and... same thing. Digging deeper, it turns out that if you have an input box using an HTML WYSIWYG editor such as CKEditor, a 36kb block of HTML set as invisible is being added to the bottom of anything submitted. This does not happen on plain text inputs.

> The block is full of links to adult sites, scam sites, referral links, trackers and so forth. This is the block I saw being added:

> https://controlc.com/353fb266

> To state the obvious, this is not happening on any other browser I own mobile or desktop, and the user was able to post fine using Safari. So the issue seems to have something to do with Brave. Take it for what it is.

> EDIT: I think I've found a way for anyone to confirm this. In Brave Browser (for iOS), go to:

> https://surveyjs.io/form-library/examples/custom-widget-ckeditor/angular

> Put something in the form, then hit COMPLETE. It will show you at the bottom what was submitted. There's even a button to copy it to clipboard, since on my iPhone I can't see much. But I end up with that huge block of HTML.

u/Asleep-Dingo-19 recorded the process described in the edits (in a comment) and uploaded it to imgur (https://imgur.com/gallery/o16w9CA).

I would also like to note that Brave already has a history of manipulating browser functions for their own benefit. For example when they made specific URLs redirect to the developer’s affiliate links in 2020.

What does this mean for you?

It means that the developers of Brave, have 2 times now manipulated the browser’s functionality in a attempt to profit themselves.

This is not the first time they have done something like this, and most likely won’t be the last time.

If the devs have done this two times, the next time may be even worse, and more privacy reducing then the prior attempts. Even spyware chrome doesn’t do this kind of thing. To give you a idea of how bad this is, if the devs chose to, they could theoretically log your passwords right as you enter them. Though I do not think that they would do something extremely illegal like this, they will definitely find in the future even more ways of profiting themselves (not even the company, just themselves) at your own loss.

I am afraid to say that I, personally, no longer trust Brave and won’t be recommending it to anyone, and I think that you should stop using it too.

Hi Jadey luv, If I remember well, you posted about getting a new phone, and I was wondering, if you got one, what kind of phone did you get?💝 I need to replace mine, and I'm so lost 🥲🥲

i did!! Finally I cracked. I got a secondhand iPhone 13 pro and I love it it is so fast and the photo quality is beautiful I’ve never seen anything like it!! Plus I got a payment plan so I didn’t have to pay it in one go. I do miss the clipboard function the Samsung keyboard has, and also the little comma button, but it’s nice!! I just desperately needed something that didn’t need to be charged four times a day and this has defo given me that <3

"Give me a twirl, Chessy!"

Her little sister's face dominated the entirety of her phone screen, so that Chess could see right up Genevieve Howard's nose. Chess suppressed a giggle, filled with an ridiculous fondness for her younger sister. Between the time zones, Chess being busy with Hazel, and Genevieve planning a wedding, the Howard sisters rarely got the time to chat. So Chess soaked up whatever time with her sister she possible could. Whether that be a quick FaceTime before bed, or walking down a busy New York street. If the other woman called, Chess always answered.

"Fine!" Chess pretended to roll her eyes, standing up and setting her phone down across the room. Propping her iPhone up against a cart filled with complimentary snacks and fancy bottled water, Chess checked her outfit in the screen, watching as Gen clapped her hands together and wolf whistled.

"It's so fancy in there. Let me see... pleather skirt, white shirt, chunky boots... Francesca Howard, is that Jaxxy's racing jacket?" gasped Gen, her voice tinny through the speakers.

Chess blushed immediately, jogging to the phone as best she could in heels so she could snatch it back up, curls bouncing around her shoulders.

"He came over last week to give Hazel her Christmas present, he might have left it behind... and it goes with my outfit!"

Chess tugged at the stiff leather, admiring herself in the outfit. She knew very little about Jax's job, except that it meant he had ownership of a very stylish nineties Ferrari jacket, something Chess had been coveting for years. Gen snorted on the other end of the phone, shaking her head.

"Tongues will wag, sis." Gen tsked, causing Chess to roll her eyes for the second time in about five minutes.

"Yeah, I'm sure everyone will think I'm bonking Jackson Otto." she laughed, flicking her hair over her shoulder. It was common knowledge in close circles that Jax had no interest in anything Chess, nor any woman had to offer, although the girls who wrote explicit Fanfiction about him from the comfort of their bedrooms had yet to catch on to this glaring fact.

At that, Chess lifted her head as she heard a rap at the door to the press room. Dropping her voice to a whisper, Chess held the reciever up to her mouth.

"I have to go, Gen. Enjoy cake tasting, okay?"

"Okay!" her sister whispered back, "break a leg, Cheshire Cat!"

Hanging up abruptly, Chess shoved her phone into the depths of Jax's jacket pocket just as the door swung open, revealing one of the most beautiful women Chess had ever seen in real life.

"Francesca?" she queried, juggling a clipboard and coffee cup so that she could hold a hand out to Chess, in a haze of strong-smelling perfume and bright smiles. "I'm Meg Davis, the social media manager."

Taking her hand, Chess gave it a soft shake, offering her a bright smile.

"Just Chess is okay, really. That's the name I use on Instagram." she explained. Meg showed all her teeth when she smiled and managed to both look incredibly sexy yet approachable at the same time. She wondered if there was a way to ask her how she did it without sounding like she was flirting.

"Alrighty, Just Chess. You want to see where the magic happens?"

Nodding eagerly, Chess shoved her hands in her pockets as she followed Meg out of the press room and out into the small studio. There were a handful of Instagram hopefuls, like herself, who had already been set loose on the models, the free samples, the table from craft services. The whole place was bustling with activity, no matter where Chess looked, a harried intern was running holding fistfuls of clothing, a model Chess had pinned to her Pinterest board a thousand times over had sprung to life and was reviewing her photos from behind the camera. The brunette's heart felt fit to burst. This was a small facet of the fashion industry, but it was the closest Chess had ever come to being on the inside. What was the quote? Everything was beautiful and nothing hurt. Chess was certain she could die happy here.

Realising Meg had been talking to her, Chess nodded eagerly, trying to tune back in to the tail end of her speech.

"... So you'll have free reign to vlog and take photos of the day, the models, and of course, the clothes. Pretty much anything you want as long as you're not in the way of the actual shoot. And then you'll be expected to put something on your feed about the free samples, ca-peesh?" she said, drawing out her words, and raising a single eyebrow at Chess to make sure she understood. Chess pressed her signature red lips together, nodding eagerly.

"Really, we just want you guys to have fun. We'll probably get some photos of you all at the end, if that's okay?"

The thought of being behind a professional camera was kind of terrifying to the young Mum. Chess was used to her own iPhone set up, her carefully posed selfies that got all of her best angles in. But she smiled and nodded nevertheless, she feared she was beginning to resemble a nodding dog, actually. Remembering to use her words she chirped, "Amazing!"

Giving Chess' arm a little squeeze, Meg dismissed herself with a, 'have fun!' and a little wave, before skittering off in her kitten heels to... do whatever social media managers did. Talk to more Instagram girlies like herself, she supposed.

Peering around at the chaos, Chess wondered where to start. Everyone else seemed so incredibly confident, chattering animatedly to their front-facing cameras and flirting with the photographer and models. She was used to doing everything from the comfort of her plush bedroom, not putting herself on blast in front of four other infuencers with higher follower counts, better equipment and more confidence than herself.

Deciding to start small, and with her favourite part, Chess wandered over to the clothing rack. Her stomach fizzed with delight as she approached the rich fabrics, feeling very much the desire to make like young Lucy Pevensie entering Narnia and dive right in, burying her face in the luxurious fabrics. She managed to contain herself, and settled for taking her phone out, swiping into the camera and starting to record.

She took a few arty shots of her running her perfectly manicured nails over the fabrics, figuring she could edit it into a bigger Instagram reel later. It would be cool to get some shots of her surroundings, work up to the scary stuff. Using her free hand, Chess shook a few dresses loose from the rack, holding each one up to the camera to show them off. They were pieces Chess could only dream of owning.

Panning away from the clothing rack, Chess began filming the overhead exposed lighting, figuring it would be good for something. Perhaps she could do a slow pan of the whole studio? Dropping her camera, Chess began to execute her, rather brilliant, idea, only to find herself filming the naked torso of a male model.

Nearly dropping her phone in shock, Chess juggled her iPhone from one hand to the other before finally catching it, holding it tight against her chest.

"Oh, sugar." Chess blushed, peering up apologetically at the man. "I'm sorry, I didn't know you were..."

Chess gestured towards the man's glistening chest, trying not to stare anymore than she already had. Her eyes moved from her phone, to the man, and back again, feeling her eyes grow comically wide and her face red. Oh, she might as well give up and go home now.

"I'm here with Meg, for the... social media outreach thing? I'm not like a... sex pest."

Squeezing her phone tight, she choked out, "I'll delete your, um...shirtlessness."

Elizabella let out a loud excited shrill while looking down at her new yet already cracked iphone 10. Paul looked over to her with a confused face.

“What are you screaming about? Sugartits. “ he smirked, walking over to her and putting his arm around her waist.

“One of my old friends just added a location to her business not too long ago and she just gave me a set of tickets. “ She turned to look at the older man with an innocent smile.

“We should support them… what is this business anyway?” He raised an eyebrow.

“It’s a Brothel.” she giggled and he just looked at her with wide eyes.

“Huh now…”

“A Brothel!” she was all hyper at just the thought of going to her friend's business.

“So my hearing hasn’t gone bonkers yet. So when would you like to go?“ He crossed his arms for a second and waited for her answer. Elizabella grabbed his car keys and handed them to him.

“Now if that's ok, big guy pretty please.” she licked her lips and started at his crotch, her tentacle arm patted his ass.

“Let me put my shoes on.” he sighed and went to grab his shoes. They get into the car and put in the address.

“What is this friend’s name anyway, “

“It's Donnabrell Raine.” she hummed.

“Wait like the Donnabrell, like the one that holds the national record for owning a building that has housed the most orgasm at once. “ Now this friend of hers had piqued his interest and even he was starting to get excited to go to the brothel.

“Yeah that's her, we went to yoga together, she even helped put one of my exs in my trunk. '' Elizabella giggled as they drove closer to the Brothel, paul gave her a concerned side eye as he drives them

“I can't wait to see her. It really has been too long,” She sighs happily, Paul started to look for a spot in the already crowded parking lot. They find one and back into it, Paul gets out and opens the door for her. There was a line outside the place and a tall body guard who looked like a werewolf checked people’s IDs and ushered them in. Elizabella grabs his arm with her tentacle arm and drags him to the front, skipping the line. The guard stops them and points to the back of the line.

“Donna dearest said that I didn't have to go through the line. “ Elizabella shows him the tickets which make the werewolf huff. He moves to the side and lets them inside without saying a word.

They both walk inside and get greeted by the brown woman in reception, it was Donnabrell. She waves them over with and pulls out two clipboards.

“Fill this form out baby dolls then we'll do the physical checks.” She had a slight southern accent. They both look down at the form and grab pens to write down their information. After a few minutes and they hand back the form, Donnadrell goes over their documents and approves them before placing them in a cabinet.

“Go see the company doctor for your physicals. '' she pointed to one of the doors. Paul and Elizabella both walk into the room and meet up with a cyclops that was the doctor.

“Hello, could you two strip for me.” She grabbed a clipboard and a tape measure. She takes their heights and writes them down on her clipboard. She then measures Elizabella’s waist, writing it down.

“Sir, do you mind getting erect? she asked paul nods, and starts stroking his shit right then and there. Elizabella walks over to him and starts to stroke him as well, he grows to his unnatural size, thanks to that good good magic radiation.

Once he was hard he’s careful to not knock anything over with his 27 inch cock. She lets elizabella hold one end of the measure and takes a few steps back, her one eye blinking or winking… to shock while looking at his length.

“Your form says your human, what the fuck is going on here.” The cyclops doctor said in confusion.

“I was born in the radiation era and it gave me this massive, body distorting, pussy ripping schlong. I have to get custom made boxers. “ Paul chuckled and wrapped his arm around Elizabella’s hip and copped a feel for her tight plump ass.

“You are not allowed any sessions with our smaller members, so no fairies or pixies or well i think you get the point. “ The doctor sighs and appears to be crossing something out on her paper.

They both nod and after Paul diuka goes down enough for him to put his pants back on. They take a seat in the waiting room and do what most people do in a waiting room, wait.

They get called into a bedroom that looks like the classic sexy room, except the bed looks like it could be a trampoline for an elephant… that hoe sturdy it was also huge like bigger in width than Paul's meaty schlong . After a few minutes there was a knock on the door. Elizabella’s blue skinned hand grabs the door letting it swing open.

Three smexy beasts step into the room one by one, a demon, werewolf and minotaur.

They take a seat on the couch in front of the bed.

“We should introduce ourselves, I’m Finny Crest, “ the werewolf spoke first, she was cute. Brown skin with spots here and there from vitiligo, she had supple c-cups tits and a nice hip dips, her hair was in a slightly matted afro and her light brownish orange eyes shone fiercely.

“I’m Romanex Brennar,” the deep voice from the demon spoke next. He had large curved horns, a long black wolf cut hairstyle, pointy ears, a long rat-like tail, red eyes, he had an anchor-like beard , he had dark bat-like wings. He was well built and was a bit on the taller side. Grayish brown skin was ever so radiant.

“I’m Noius Wailstone, '' the minotaur’s voice boomed, he was the tallest of the three, he had a buff muscular dad bod going on for him. His warm white skin was littered with a few old scars on them. He was missing part of one of his horns but he still had enough for them to be grabbed like the firm handerbards they will definitely become. His head was more bull skull but he still had his cow- like ears.

“Well I’M Elizabella and this man is Paul so lets get to fucking shall we?” she claps her hand with her tentacle arm, then pats the oversized bed. She takes off her yoga outfit and hops in the middle of the mattress.

The three monsters shrug and go over to sit with a blue alien girl. Elizabella had a way of turning on her horny switch like how lighting struck. Paul was standing at the edge of the bed as he watched with anticipation. He was stripping down and waking up his dragon cock with his meaty claws hands.

Noius licks his teeth as his glowing irises watch Paul as if he wanted to conquer a mountain, a low rumbling comes from the minotaur’s chest. His tail swayed with interest as he got up to walk over to Paul. Noius wasn't used to people smaller than his that could compare with his meaty pogo stick. It gets his rod pumping and he’s ready to get into some holes.

Finny and Romanex were already feeling up on Elizabella. Romanex had his veiny hands cupping her breasts, his long black nails scraping her blue flesh. Finny meanwhile was littering kisses up her arms and to Elizabella’s neck, her tail thumping on the bed.

“I need this pussy filled with something like now.” Elizabella’s words muffled while she sucked on Romanex’s fingers. The demon smirked as he laid her down on the bed, he used his wet fingers to play with Elizabella’s wet gooey succulent magical mystical life changing mind altering pussy . Finny was kissing the valley of Elizabella’s chesticals. Elizabella’s tentacle was rubbing at Finny’s mound. Her cute fluffy ears twitched as she let out quiet moans.

Elizabella looked over to Paul with a smile at the view. Noius was taking Paul’s girthy length like a glizzy champion. Straight dogging his shit like no other, slopping on that thing like it was the last supper…. Beside Elizabella. Paul had his hands firmly gripping the minotaur’s horns. Paul let out manly moans of pleasure, as Noius started to give him the first climax of the night. Before they could blink Paul grew a head of hair and looked like he had gone back 20 something years in age.

“What the Unholy hell, are you sure you're human?” Romanex looked over at the two men with confusion as he slowly slid his two peened cock into Elizabella’s craving hole, causing her to let out happy coos.

“It's just the afterglow of a good postnut.” Paul shrugged as he ran a hand through his newfound lushes locks. He stood up and stretched with his new found agility. He was built like a Roman god, rippling muscles, thick dark curls, chiseled jawline. The three brothel workers stared in awe as Paul flexed and stretched. It was like he had an aura of sexual power about him, they had the inexplicable desire to let this man impregnate them, though they were all on birth control.

“Augh you look like how a recently deposited sperm donation feels. “ Romanex said and everyone turned to look at him with a moment of silence.

“Don’t get shy now, start thrusting into this caramelizingly creamy cunt of mine~” Elizabella said, bucking her hips forward for any sort of friction

Romanex grinned and held Elizabella’s hips firmly and drilled into her hips like her pussy was cement and his dicks were a demolition hammer. Obscene squelching noises bounced off the walls, Elizabella pussy was akin to Niagara falls or the waterfall at an onsen from the amount of pussy juice was leaking into the sheets.

“Ah~ harder~” Elizabella moaned, her back arched off the bed and her toes pointed.

Romanex complied and from the was he was brutalizing her woman whamp whamp that she would have bruises, but Romanex deduced that if she was fucking this man who had a twenty-seven inch penis that she’d be just fine.

Finny jumped off the bed to put her hand around the coochie soaker state that Paul was in right now. She pulled him to the bed and Noius followed behind them. Finny bent Paul over with a bit of help from her werewolf strength. She grabbed a handful of his tight ass before dropping to her knees behind him.

Finny stuck her face in between Paul’s juicy, jiggling like water, voluptuous, soft positively scrumptious peachy planets and took a deep breath.

‘Damn, even his ass smells good, it’s just like Tom Ford Tobacco vanille… its- its- radiant, carefree, dreamy, Adrian the Fragrance.’ Finny thought as she held apart Paul's succulent cheeks. She runs her warm tongue over his asshole. She was licking at his ass like a damn dog which I guess is fitting.

Romanex was switching out with Noius as the minotaur pushed his giant horse rhinosarus DRAGON hippopotamus TYRANASAUROUS REX elephant whale bull cock Elizabella’s pussy, as Romanex moved to fuck her slutty mouth. ‘It was a shame I didn't have a grapefruit like last time.’ Elizabella happily sucked on one or the demon’s dick, the other was bouncing on top of her face.

Noius leaned back as he thrusted into Elizabella at an unforgiving pace. Romanex leaned to stroke Paul’s pocket rocket. Finny was still licking and sucking Paul’s hole, her hand wrapping under him to tickle his balls.

It was hot, it was sexy and it all came at the discounted price of a highschool friendship. “Thank you great time lord for this beautifully crafted universe for giving me this fat NUT” Elizabella thought as she arched her back, her legs shaking more than a viBEARraptor (vibrator).

“You’re not gonna change after postnut too right?” Romanex asked with a snort.

“nope.”

Jason Snell @jsnell@zeppelin.flights makes the case for clipboard managers—software that saves a history of what you copy to your clipboard.

I find clipboard managers to be essential. The lack of a clipboard manager on the iPad is a big reason why I find it difficult getting real work done on those tablets.

My earliest memory of using a clipboard manager was the late 1980s. 35+ years later, a clipboard manager should be standard on the Mac, iPad and iPhone. Instead, it’s a third-party add-on for the Mac and you can’t get one at all on the iPad and iPhone.

TOOL TUTORIAL 6

How to download high quality videos onto iOS devices using Shortcuts

MOBILE GIF-MAKING SERIES

So you want to make GIFs or a fun little video edit for your fandom. The problem is, you don't have access to a standard desktop computer—just an iOS device that is not jailbroken (i.e., you're limited to apps in the Apple App store). You can always just screen record. But if you want something that gives you a clean file at its highest resolution, there's a pre-made shortcut for the Shortcuts app will allow you to download video files from hundreds of different websites at their highest available quality with a few clicks.

Operating systems: iOS (iPhones, iPads)

Difficulty: Easy

Required apps/tools: Shortcuts SW-DLT shortcut; A-Shell Mini (recommended) or A-Shell

Optional apps: VLC Media Player and Video Converter and Compressor.

Input: video links (compatible with links from hundreds of websites)

NOTE: If you have a desktop computer or an Android device, there are ready-made apps that will do this for you which you can download freely—for example, 4kVideoDownloader.

If you're unfamiliar, Shortcuts is an pre-installed Apple app that lets users make "shortcuts" that execute a series of operations across one or more apps on their device with the click of a button. You just need to add a community-made shortcut that does all the downloading for you to your Shortcuts app, and give it the free terminal app that it needs in order to do its thing.

NOTE: Shortcuts are, by nature, open source. This shortcut in particular is a "wrapper" for yt-dlp and gallery-dl which are also open source and hosted on GitHub.

1. Required materials

A-Shell Mini

You can download this terminal app for free in the app store. Don't worry—you don't have to type a single thing into it. All you need to do is download it.

NOTE: The full version, just called A-Shell will also work, but it's over 1 gb in size while A-Shell is a few hundred MB, so save yourself the bloat.

Shortcuts SW-DLT shortcut app.

The SW-DLT shortcut can be shared to your Shortcut app via this link on RoutineHub.

Select "Get Shortcut" to open the shortcut in your Shortcuts app. Then tap "Set Up Shortcut"

The following panel will open:

All you need to be mindful of here is the "isMini" line. If you downloaded A-Shell Mini, this line should read "True".

If everything looks how it should, select "Add Shortcut" and it'll be added to your shortcut library in the Shortcuts app.

2. Copy the video link you want

I'm going to copy a youtube video as an example, but you can download links from hundreds of sites. When you've copied your link, open your Shortcuts app, go to the "Shortcuts" view and select "SW-DLT".

A prompt like this should open (it'll automatically grab your link from your clipboard).

NOTE: Throughout this process, Shortcuts is going to ask you for a lot of different permissions. If you just click "Always Allow" for each one, going forward you shouldn't get those prompts a bunch).

Select "Download Video" and two more panels will open. The first asks you to select your desired video quality/resolution and next asks you to select frame rate (choose 30FPS if it's a TV Show or a Movie).

After selecting your FPS, the shortcut will automatically open A-Shell Mini and begin running a script that downloads your file.

NOTE: The first time you ever use SW-DLT, A-Shell-Mini won't download the video—it's instead going to set up everything it needs to get videos downloaded from here on out then it's going to send you back to the Shortcuts app. Just go back through the process of clicking the SW-DLT shortcut and choosing the quality and FPS again. You won't have to do it twice anymore after the first time.

When your file is finished downloading, a share sheet will open.

Select the drop down arrow at the top of the screen to select how you'd like to save your file.

DO NOT click "Save Video".

Hit "Save to Files" instead.

Selecting "Save Video" will result in your device trying to save the file to the Photos App, which can't load or save some video files because of their codec. A video's codec is different from it's container (file extension type). In other words, the MP4 file format of this trailer I downloaded isn't the issue. The way it was transcoded results in its codec being incompatible with the Photos app.

If I just want to play the video locally as is, I can download VLC Media Player and play the video there. But if I want to use it do edits on my phone... it'd be a hell of a lot better if it was in my Photos app, since a lot of apps only access media from there, right? So I need to re-transcode it.

3. Transcode the video so it can be moved to the Photos app.

Transcoding a video allows you to change its codec and its extension. I've come up with two free ways to do this on iOS so far.

Video-Converter.com

This is what I recommend you use. It's an online tool that converts videos up to 4GB in size to different video and audio codecs and file formats and can give them back to you at their original quality in just a few clicks. I was able to upload my 4K video in this tool on iOS and have it transcoded to the (default) H.264 codec, playing on my device still in 4K in a few minutes.

Hit "Open File" and select the video from your Files app. After it loads, you can choose your video and audio output options. However, I left everything at default and it worked.

If you open "settings", you can see the video codec that Video-Converter plans to use. If those codecs are H.264 and AAC for video and audio respectively (which should be the defaults), you'll get a file that plays back on your iOS device. Click "Convert" and it'll begin making the new video for you and will give you a download when it's done. You can save that new download to your Files app, and then share it to the Photos app by finding it in your Files app, holding down on it to open options, and selecting Share > Save video.

Video Converter and Compressor

I would only use this if you need something offline. It's slower, it has annoying ads, and it bugs you about a paid version you don't need. It will work though and it's the only one I found in the app store that doesn't paywall what you need or limit you to some kind of free trial. Select "Video Converter">Files/iCloud and select your video. The following panel will open:

This is again—a lot of options. But if you toggle "Advanced" you should again see the H.264 and AAC video and audio codecs are the defaults, and those will play in Photos. Select "Convert" and it'll serve you an ad, but once its done, your video will begin downloading.

NOTE: While there is a 4K (2160p) resolution option, I had to stick with 1080p because the app crashed every time I tried to set the resolution that high. ymmv.

In life, Darlene Kilpatrick was a perfectly nice woman, even if no one particularly liked her. At church, her fellow housewives would stand around with pained grimaces as she talked excitedly about her grandson's new boyfriend and her questions about what to serve at Thanksgiving to a nice Muslim boy. Attempts at dissuading her rewarded an unfortunate soul with either blank stares or a late arrival at their doorstep with Bible passages and printed out Wikipedia articles marked up for in-depth discussions.

The little old lady with horn-rimmed glasses and pink in every bit of clothing could be found at potlucks and social events, even if no one invited her. With her she brought salsas too spicy for her companions, vegan plates out of consideration for vegans who didn't go to her church, or experiments in more ethnic foods that had her fellow rural Midwesterners force a smile as she shoved a sample on them and quietly throw it away later.

Darlene tried to include everyone, even if they weren't there. It's what Jesus would have wanted.

When she died, she had hoped to join the heavenly host and spend her eternity singing praises among the angels, so on and so forth. She hadn't expected the sterile white waiting room of Purgatory, or the demon sidling up to her with a box of her old accoutrements.

"First off, you're not here as a resident," the demon begins from behind a plastic clipboard. He looks a bit like Idris Elba, whom she had a bit of a soft spot for. "We have an exchange agreement with Heaven, you see. You're to educate some souls here on what it means to be a true Christian. Provided for you are your annotated Bible and iPhone. You will find it's already logged into our Wi-Fi; cursed souls are only allowed spotty service and we cannot have them accessing the good network. Now, is there anything you need?"

The implication of his words is that she's there to torment the hypocrites, as there are a great many true Christians who are terrible people. The Bible is, after all, an imperfect work attempting to share the words of a perfect God. But Darlene does love to talk at length about her time in seminary, about the different interpretations of passages and changing cultures, about Calvinism and its influences on the various sects that arose in the United States, and she agrees.

"Do I come back here when I'm done?"

The demon smiles in that devastatingly handsome way Idris Elba does. He has those yellow eyes, like when Idris played Heimdall. "When you wish. You will find snacks in the break room. There is a map loaded on your iPhone so you won't get lost."

The small bit of Darlene that she thought lost within her marriage to an increasingly conservative man perks up at the thought of her new work. "Who do I work on first?"

"I believe you have Pat Robertson. Or Jerry Falwell? Your agenda is in the box. They are a captive audience and you're allowed as much time as you need. Give 'em Hell."

As the demon leaves, Darlene reaches into the box to pull out a bright pink, glittery agenda book with the silver bookmark she got from a Navajo souvenir stall when she visited Monument Valley in the 1970s and a feather-tipped pink pen from her time organizing the local Women's Strike for Equality. She had been a firebrand once, she remembers.

She's happy to be one again.

-----------

Note! the demon appears to people as whomever they might be tempted by. They appear to Darlene as something like Idris Elba; they will appear to someone else like Marilyn Monroe, or young Marlon Brando, or Billie Eilish.

There’s good news and bad news. Bad news, you’re in hell. Good news, you’re not being punished. You are the punishment.

Zwischenablage auf dem Handy öffnen: So klappt es einfach und schnell

Wir alle nutzen sie, oft ohne es zu merken – die Zwischenablage. Sie ist wie ein unsichtbarer Notizblock, der immer bereitsteht, wenn du mal schnell etwas aufschreiben, speichern oder weitergeben willst. Egal ob Text, Links oder Bilder: Alles, was du kopierst, landet erst mal hier. Doch wie greifst du eigentlich auf die Zwischenablage zu? Und wie holst du dir den vollen Nutzen aus diesem praktischen Feature? Lass uns das Thema Schritt für Schritt auseinandernehmen. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qfzftjOVYIk

Was genau ist die Zwischenablage?

Die Zwischenablage ist ein temporärer Speicherort auf deinem Handy. Immer wenn du etwas kopierst – sei es ein Text, ein Link oder sogar ein Bild –, wird es zunächst hier zwischengespeichert. Aber: Dieser Speicher ist in der Regel flüchtig. Kopierst du etwas Neues, wird das Alte überschrieben. Auch ein Neustart des Handys leert die Zwischenablage in den meisten Fällen. Das klingt vielleicht erst mal unspektakulär, aber denk mal darüber nach, wie oft du Sachen kopierst und einfügst. Stell dir vor, du könntest diese Inhalte organisieren oder später wieder abrufen. Genau das ist möglich – wenn du weißt, wie du darauf zugreifen kannst.

Zwischenablage auf Android-Geräten nutzen

Android-Smartphones bieten dir oft mehr Flexibilität, wenn es um die Zwischenablage geht. Es gibt verschiedene Möglichkeiten, sie zu nutzen, je nach Hersteller und eingesetzter Software. 1. Direkter Zugriff über die Tastatur Die meisten Android-Tastaturen, wie Gboard (von Google) oder das Samsung-Keyboard, haben eine integrierte Zwischenablage-Funktion: - Öffne eine beliebige App, in der du Texte eingeben kannst, z. B. WhatsApp oder die Notizen-App. - Tippe in das Textfeld, sodass die Tastatur erscheint. - Schau dir die Symbolleiste oberhalb der Tastatur an. Dort findest du oft ein kleines Klemmbrett-Symbol. - Tippe auf dieses Symbol, um die Inhalte der Zwischenablage anzuzeigen. Hier kannst du ältere Einträge auswählen und einfügen. Manche Tastaturen speichern sogar mehrere Inhalte gleichzeitig, sodass du eine kleine Sammlung von kopierten Texten und Links zur Verfügung hast. Bei Gboard bleibt der Inhalt jedoch nur für kurze Zeit verfügbar, während Samsung-Keyboard oft eine längere Speicherung ermöglicht. 2. Nutzung von Drittanbieter-Apps Wenn dein Handy keine integrierte Zwischenablage-Anzeige bietet oder du erweiterte Funktionen möchtest, helfen dir Apps weiter. Beliebte Tools wie Clipper oder Clipboard Manager speichern deine Zwischenablage-Inhalte dauerhaft und erlauben dir, sie zu organisieren. Besonders praktisch: Du kannst Kategorien erstellen oder häufig genutzte Inhalte wie Standardantworten abspeichern. 3. Zwischenablage im System oder Dateimanager Einige Android-Oberflächen, vor allem von Herstellern wie Samsung oder Huawei, bieten Zugriff auf die Zwischenablage über den integrierten Dateimanager oder die System-Einstellungen. Allerdings ist diese Funktion nicht bei allen Geräten verfügbar und oft weniger intuitiv als die Nutzung über die Tastatur.

Zwischenablage auf dem iPhone: Einfach, aber begrenzt

Apple verfolgt bei der Zwischenablage einen minimalistischen Ansatz. Inhalte, die du kopierst, sind zwar da – aber es gibt keinen sichtbaren Speicherort, an dem du sie durchsuchen oder verwalten kannst. Trotzdem gibt es einige clevere Tricks, um das Beste aus der Funktion herauszuholen. 1. Einfügen statt suchen Beim iPhone bleibt die Zwischenablage im Hintergrund. Kopierte Inhalte kannst du direkt einfügen, indem du in einer App lange auf ein Textfeld drückst und „Einfügen“ auswählst. Die Zwischenablage speichert dabei nur den letzten kopierten Inhalt – sobald du etwas Neues kopierst, ist das alte weg. 2. Universal Clipboard: Zwischen Geräten teilen Seit iOS 10 gibt es das sogenannte Universal Clipboard. Das bedeutet, dass du Inhalte zwischen Apple-Geräten nahtlos teilen kannst. Kopiere etwas auf deinem iPhone und füge es auf deinem iPad oder Mac ein – vorausgesetzt, alle Geräte sind mit derselben Apple-ID angemeldet und befinden sich in der Nähe. Dieses Feature ist besonders praktisch, wenn du oft zwischen verschiedenen Geräten arbeitest. 3. Drittanbieter-Apps für mehr Kontrolle Wenn dir der Standard-Zugriff nicht reicht, gibt es auch für iPhones Apps, die die Zwischenablage erweitern. Tools wie Paste oder Copied speichern Inhalte dauerhaft und erlauben dir, sie später wieder aufzurufen. Gerade für Vielnutzer, die mit Textbausteinen arbeiten oder oft zwischen verschiedenen Apps wechseln, sind solche Lösungen Gold wert.

Praktische Tipps, um die Zwischenablage optimal zu nutzen

- Mehrere Inhalte speichern: Nutze eine Tastatur oder App, die dir erlaubt, mehrere Einträge gleichzeitig zu speichern. Das spart dir das ständige Hin- und Herkopieren. - Zwischenablage regelmäßig leeren: Für deine Sicherheit solltest du vermeiden, sensible Daten wie Passwörter oder Kreditkartennummern zu lange in der Zwischenablage zu lassen. Manche Apps könnten sonst unbefugt darauf zugreifen. - Texte schneller einfügen: Einige Tastaturen bieten dir die Möglichkeit, häufig genutzte Textbausteine direkt in der Zwischenablage abzulegen. So kannst du sie jederzeit mit einem Klick einfügen.

Fazit: Ein unterschätztes Power-Feature

Die Zwischenablage ist wie ein kleiner, diskreter Assistent, der im Hintergrund arbeitet und deine Produktivität enorm steigern kann – wenn du weißt, wie du ihn richtig einsetzt. Egal, ob du ein Android- oder iPhone-Nutzer bist: Mit den richtigen Kniffen kannst du dir den Alltag deutlich erleichtern. Probier es aus und schau, welche Methoden für dich am besten funktionieren. Einmal eingerichtet, wirst du dich fragen, wie du jemals ohne ausgekommen bist! Read the full article

Stay Focused:

Create App Limits to restrict time on social media or set Downtime for uninterrupted work sessions.

9. Safari Reader Mode

For a distraction-free reading experience, Safari’s Reader Mode strips away ads and clutter from web articles. When you’re on a compatible webpage, click the Reader button in the address bar or press Cmd + Shift + R.

Additional Perks:

Customise Reader Mode by changing the text size, background colour, or font to suit your preferences.

10. Secure Notes with Passwords

The Notes app lets you lock sensitive information. Select a note, click the Lock button in the toolbar, and set a password. This ensures that private information stays protected.

Best Practice:

Use this for storing personal details, secure project notes, or financial information.

Final Thoughts

These hidden macOS features can transform your MacBook Pro experience, making your workflow more efficient and your tasks more manageable. Whether you’re a creative professional or a business user, mastering these tools can help you unlock the full potential of your device.

For those considering upgrading their setup temporarily or for specific projects, a MacBook Pro rental is an excellent way to experience the latest macOS features without committing to a purchase.
