Ah ok, thanks again!

I guess I was too fixated on “Saved” and didn’t consider other labels. You can tell I’m coming from Reddit and Lemmy.

Logged now.

Funny thing I noticed, I can't see where the Saved post list is on web-based Piefed under my profile. But I can see it in Voyager. Not sure what I'm missing.

Thanks!

Yes, this is how it worked on Reddit as well. To me, this isn’t exactly private information. It’s a collection of already public posts. But that’s just my opinion.

We’ll see what happens with the request.

Does Piefed provide an RSS feed of your saved posts?

I used this a lot in the old place and was hoping for it on Lemmy. However, the Lemmy devs decided it was not required or appropriate functionality when I asked them why the RSS feed link didn’t work under a Lemmy account Saved page and planned on removing it.

If Piefed doesn’t provide this today, is there somewhere I can request it?

AliExpress for Basics in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world
[–] ToffeeIsForClosers@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I’ve bought a lot of cables and chargers from AliExpress over the last 10 years. No issues.

Typically, what I get on there is either low cost accessories that are fine to be generic or they are highly unique items that I can’t find anywhere else (usually very specific replacement parts).

In either case, I always take the approach of “would I feel like I got screwed if this item doesn’t work out well?” And the answer is usually no because it’s like $2-5.

If the price is higher and I have concerns about the quality, I head over to Amazon and read the reviews because the exact same item is almost certainly there as well.

The buyer protection is pretty reliable for missing, broken in transit, and/or inaccurate items. I’ve only had one case over the years where a refund was denied.

Hope that helps!

Munchausen Syndrome

I am no expert, but my guess is that people like Mr. Wannabe Rear Admiral have a similar condition to this, despite not being health-related.

What's a standalone movie that deserves a good sequel? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

Constantine. 

I know it may not have checked all the boxes for comic fans but it was a great movie with great characters and atmosphere. 

I’ve thought about this several times since its release. Apparently I’m not the only one. Keanu was asked a similar question last year but about his own catalogue and he said the same thing, he wishes there had been a sequel.

A few months after that, I think I read a sequel might be coming.

What's a lesser known Christmas movie worth a watch? in c/movies@piefed.social

I mentioned this in another thread recently:

Cooper’s Christmas (aka Cooper’s Camera)

Jason Jones, Samantha Bee, Dave Foley and the very excellent Mike Beaver.

It’s my favourite Canadian Christmas comedy B-movie, a very specific genre to be sure.

Such a great movie.

“Dying slowly in America after all, can be a very expensive proposition.”

I always thought that was a notable line for a Canadian actor to deliver.

It’s free and the cops can’t stop you, like rotating cows in your mind.

This must be making the rounds since the McSweeney’s bit came out earlier this month.

Finest piece of satire I’ve seen in awhile!

Shortcut Trigger Source (lemmy.world)
 

Is there a way to know which app triggered the shortcut call?

For instance, if I share files from the Files app, I could reference something to see “Files” or “iCloud Drive”. When it’s Mail, I’d see “Mail”. Etc.

I am trying to have one universal shortcut for file input but I need to specialize some actions depending on the app that provided the files.

I checked “Shortcut Input” but there aren’t a lot of choices to evaluate. “File Path” is inconsistent in what it will show: executing from the Shortcuts app and picking a file will shows “iCloudDrive/FolderName/Filename.ext” but sharing from the Files app will just show the filename.ext. Sharing from Mail shows the file content.

Backup All Shortcuts (routinehub.co)
 

I found this nifty shortcut to backup all shortcuts. You can set it to an automation and do a rolling limited number of backups on a set schedule, like 10 zip files max, backed up weekly.

There’s a problem though. There’s an error on the Make Archive step.

I stripped the shortcut down to Get All Shortcuts, Make .zip of My Shortcuts. The error persists.

I’m not sure why it’s not working unless this is an existing Shortcuts bug at the moment.

Anyone know?

Multiple Apple Note Tags (lemmy.world)
 

Anyone know how to tag an Apple Note with multiple tags?

I can create the note, append to it, and tag it with a variable or straight text but I cannot figure how to add multiple tags.

I tried a list, dictionary values, comma separated, new lines. I even tried looping over Add Tag action with a single tag but everything results in an error on trying to tag multiple times to the note.

Let me know if you’ve figured it out!

EmulationStation Controller and Game-Specific Input Settings (lemmy.world)
 

I have an X-Arcade dual joystick that I’m trying to use with Arcade games via EmulationStation on the Steam Deck.

The joysticks work but I’m having two problems that I’m looking to solve. They should be universal problems, not just about this joystick unit, so I’m hoping someone here can guide me.

  1. How to set controller order within EmulationStation? I use a Steam Controller to navigate the Deck otherwise but have to turn it off when I start an arcade game or the X-Arcade won’t work. I think it’s the controller order I’ve read about but can’t see where to set this.

  2. How to set controller inputs for a specific game in EmulationStation? I see the input settings menu but I believe this overrides all games. I don’t see how I can bring up the old MAME menu for game specific inputs. Do I have to do this via config file in desktop mode instead?

The joystick unit has the PCB upgrade that allows X-input. I can see both joysticks as XBox 360. The deck is updated as of August 1st stable release. EmulationStation with 2.1.1 and all other desktop application updates applied including EmuDeck emulators and flatpaks. Based on some other issue and advice, I have previously pointed EmulationStation to a different and newer MAME emulator vs the one that came with the EmuDeck install.
