  • When I first bought the speakers/displays they seemed to be releasing software updates at a quick pace, but it seems like they have slowed to a crawl. Classic Google to abandon products to move onto the next shiny thing.

    Over the last year or so there was big cuts to the Google Assistant teams, and then they merged the Assistant and Bard teams together.

    Personally, I’ve recently had issues with one of mine not turning off the display at night. I was also really disappointed when they stopped integrating with third party shopping list apps. My devices are definitely less useful now.



  • Thanks! Sorry my “it’s not working” wasn’t very helpful, and unfortunately I don’t have any error messages. Here’s what I can see:

    • Userscripts has full access to all sites through Settings > Safari > Extensions.
    • Userscripts appears as an extension in Safari
    • LULs script was added to the Userscripts directory and is enabled in the Userscripts Safari Extension
    • When I first browsed to my home Lemmy instance I was prompted to set it as the home instance through a pop up message (indicating to me that the script is at least partially working)
    • The rewritten icon does not appear next to any links on foreign instances
    • Clicking on the links does not take me to my home instance, they just stay on the foreign instance
    • The “Show on <home instance>” link does not appear on foreign communities
    • “Lemmy Universal Link Switcher Settings” link does not appear in my home instance settings
    • There doesn’t seem to be a way to open script settings in Userscripts on iOS like is shown in the Violentmonkey screenshot on the documentation
    • In summary, it doesn’t look like LULs is making any changes to any Lemmy instances in Safari.

    Things I tried which had no effect:

    • Turning off local and network ad-blockers
    • Restarting the iPad
    • Disabling and re-enabling Userscripts extension
    • Deleting and reinstalling the LULs script - I noted that I wasn’t prompted to setup my instance again so maybe that was cached somewhere else?
    • Clearing Safari cache (and was still not prompted to set home instance again)

    Violentmonkey and Tampermonkey did not seem to have iOS clients, but for troubleshooting purposes I installed the Gear browser app. I understand Gear has it’s own browser engine and supports userscripts directly. After installing the LULs the script worked when browsing in Gear.

    I’m not likely to switch from Safari to Gear for browsing, so ideally it would be great to get it working in Safari.

    Are there any other troubleshooting steps or settings in Safari you could suggest to get it working?


  • That one is showing as Undetermined as well. I setup a Kbin account and had the same behaviour, comment was set to English in Kbin, but would appear as Undetermined on Lemmy.

    The issue with replying from Lemmy seems to occur when Communities have set their Language to only English (or at least not Undetermined). For some reason the Kbin supposedly Undetermined messages are allowed to post, but if anyone on Lemmy tries to reply to it, Lemmy will try to use the same language, which will result in a silent error (but visible in Developer Tools).

    Again, manually changing my reply on Lemmy to specifically use English works.

    In conclusion there’s probably nothing you can do, but there is an issue for Lemmy language issue here.
