They mean the weekly sales start on Wednesday and run until the following Tuesday. The next day (Wednesday) a different set of products will go on sale for a week.

That would be great to be honest. I have many shopping lists in reminders named as the stores which I frequent, with one catch all called “shopping” they are in a group called “shopping” because of course they are. Until recently adding reminders worked like “Siri add xyz to my shopping list”. But now Siri pops up saying “do you mean shopping, or shopping?” And clicking either option results in an error that the app needs to be opened. How fucking stupid can it be? One isn’t even a list! Works fine from my Apple Watch though. Changed the category to “to buy” because fuck me, right?

I just upvoted you by purpose. There. Sounds weird, right?

As someone who also grew up in the commonwealth, I can’t remember ever hearing anyone say “on accident”. And it seems that “on accident” is grammatically wrong (not that we all have to speak with perfect grammar, but just pointing it out). I’m sure I’ll get downvoted for this but whatever. “On accident” also grated at me lol.

Compared to other countries, the immigration rules are very straightforward for each visa category. And the cost is so cheap (¥8,000 at most). In addition, you only pay if your application is successful.

If you legally reside in Japan for ten years you can easily switch to a permanent residence status. This can be fast tracked to just three years (I think) I think if you are originally on a highly skilled visa.

I lack the space for a drawer like this, instead this exists as a plastic tub in the kitchen cabinet under the sink.

And the stand or cable will cost extra, too!

I use this on iOS and iPadOS. It isn’t perfect and needs tinkering and tweaking. But it does block ads systemwide in most apps (banner ads, not those pesky in game ads usually). And you can customise it by seeing what ad servers were called, and add them to the block list.

Dental is covered here in Japan. Just pay 30%. Only cost about ¥20,000 to have a root canal and crown done (over a series of appointments). A wisdom tooth extraction at a major hospital cost about ¥7,000.

The one downside is that insurance only covers 30 mins of time with the dentist per appointment, so dental assistants do most of the prep etc, as the dentist hovers between several patients.

As a result, the work is spread over several appointments, whereas in my home country it would be done in just one or two. But that also spreads the cost over more time, so win win as far as I’m concerned.

I wonder what dental is like in other countries with socialised healthcare? I’d love to get some more details from you if you have experience.

Works in Japan, too. Gives ¥500 extra.

Nice! Might work better with ewe instead of sheep, though.

Same issues here. In addition, I followed a link to a new community but I could not subscribe because the interface thought I was still in the home feed. Thanks always for the awesome effort and time you put into this.

Edit: could subscribe from inside a post in the community I was interested in.

 

On the latest build here, but it’s been happening for a while now. There is no rhyme or reason, but now and then the default option reverts to all instead of my selection of subscribed. Not a huge issue but just putting it out there. Thanks for the great app!

Thanks for making this app.

The bar at the bottom seems to scroll up before being hidden when scrolling. I’ll attach a video in a moment to illustrate this.

Also I only noticed this after upgrading to ios18 last night.

Thanks for. All the hard work which you’re putting into the app. It is my favorite!

I was greeted with a beta expired message today.

Should I just start using the AppStore version? Will I lose any settings if I install it over the beta?

Thanks in advance

iOS 17.5 Attention Aware bug (self.apple_enthusiast)
submitted 8 months ago by th3dogcow to c/apple_enthusiast
 

Has anyone else noticed that alarms and timers don’t reduce in volume if you are using the device, or when you pick up the device and it recognises you with Face ID anymore?

It’s really annoying to get a full volume alarm when you’re using the device.

iPhone 13 if it matters. Toggled attention aware on and off and also restarted the phone without luck.

Hi there, thanks for the great software. Currently on 0.4.1 (4), but I’ve noticed the bug on a few previous versions.

When viewing saved comments under the user profile, everything appears fine. However, if you try to scroll it instantly crashes back to the springboard. I have a suspicion that it is something to do with the fact that I have saved many comments which include YouTube links. Has anyone else noticed this?

Edit: switched to another account to play around, and I could replicate the crash just by saving a comment which contained an embedded picture.

A Japanese high court ruled Thursday that denying same-sex marriage is unconstitutional and called for urgent government action to address the lack of any law allowing for such unions.

The court does not have the power to overturn the current marriage law, which has been interpreted to restrict marriage as between a man and a woman. Government offices may continue to deny marriage status to same-sex couples unless the existing law is revised to include LGBTQ+ couples, or a new law is enacted that allows for other types of unions.

 

First, thank you for building this wonderful app.

This is my favorite feature of the app: the ability to return to the previous post by swiping from right to left.

With the latest TestFlight version, I noticed a new bug: the text size on the returning post is set to the system size, and once complete open, switches to the user’s choice of text size. The result is a little jarring.

To replicate, set the text time to something other than the system size. View a post, go back. And then swipe across to return to the post. You should be able to see the effect.

A group of Japanese citizens, including a man of Pakistani descent, is suing the country’s police, accusing authorities of racial profiling and discrimination.

 

I thought the seemingly constant requests to update or verify your information was supposed to stop this!

 
 
 

On TestFlight. iPhone 8. Cancel buttons (ie on comment screen) and (x) buttons (ie share as image screen) don’t work. Can only dismiss by swiping down.
