Anyone know of an easy way to show or sync an iCloud calendars events onto a Google calendar in order to make sure those times are marked as “Busy” when someone tries to set up a meeting in the Google calendar?

Here are some causes I’ve seen recommended today to help get you started:

Minnesota Black Lives Matter https://secure.actblue.com/donate/ms_blm_homepage_2019

The Official George Floyd Memorial Fund https://www.gofundme.com/f/georgefloyd

Black Visions Donations https://secure.everyaction.com/4omQDAR0oUiUagTu0EG-Ig2

Reclaim the Block https://secure.everyaction.com/zae4prEeKESHBy0MKXTIcQ2

#BlackLivesMatter

I‘ve been heartbroken today reading about Minnesota. I’m glad one officer has *finally* been arrested but it’s not enough. There were multiple involved and there are so many other killings and so much racism across the US involving police and across our society.

Please folks, do what you can. Call it out when you see it. Make sure people know where you stand. Donate to causes if you’re able. Call your representatives.

Feeling sad after getting this in the mail a few days ago. It was a reward for one of my donations to her campaign and I still find it incredibly disheartening that we were presented with someone so damned intelligent, sincere, qualified, and with so many well thought out plans ... and we still ended up where we are.

Pretty sad that Apple’s own Trailers app still hasn’t been updated for the iPad Pro after more than a year.

One of the best articles I’ve found regarding the Coronavirus. Incredibly comprehensive, updated daily, and has a table of contents to find exactly the info you are looking for.

Discovered this in Sketch inside a symbol in the built in Apple iOS UI kit. Notice there is a text, symbol, and shape layer grouped together (not a folder) and that group itself has it’s own fill color (and can even have a border). No current way to create this that I know of.

Thanks to @marinaepelman I see it’s been moved to the “Clocks” settings. Super hard to find.

Is choosing data sources no longer possible for the Siri watch face on watchOS? That section is missing for me in the Watch app.

Best answer I’ve found is that there is a Trakt VIP feature that can handle this using their website.

I feel like I’ve asked this before but does anyone know of a TV show tracking app that supports rewatching shows? It should show you the next episode based on what you last watched rather than all the episodes you’ve ever seen. Preferably with Trakt.tv support.

Found it thanks to @marinaepelman! https://www.neuyear.net/

Very similar to this Kickstarter project but it wasn’t this. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/nickolaspeter/a-hyper-minimal-calendar-for-2020

I remember coming across a full year calendar on a large single sheet that didn’t have weeks annoyingly split up at months. Can’t seem to find it now, anyone know what I’m talking about?

@jpeg Would love to see the Mac and iPad versions of Mast get some improvements as well. Better menu bar menus on Mac with keyboard shortcuts on both Mac and iPad (command+N for new Toot to start), remember window size and position on Mac, allow resizing of columns and hiding ones we don’t want to see on both …

@Gargron I don’t understand how the timeline syncing from Mastodon 3.0 is supposed to work. I thought I would be able to load mastodon.social on any browser and have my timeline position remembered from the last time I viewed it?

@JPEG so happy to have username autocomplete in the newest beta!

@mastonaut will you be adding the new timeline syncing to your app so that it syncs last read position with the web and other apps? You can read about the API in the Mastodon 3.0 announcement post here: https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2019/10/mastodon-3.0-in-depth/
