This might be the worst named project of all time. Not funny and demonstrates an absolutely terrible impulse on the part of the author. Probably the worst way possible to advertise your project. edit: According to the author in a reply, the

Pretty cool! I have heard stories of people in 2025 creating a fat macOS binary containing arm64, x86_64, x86, and ppc slices. I hope that we can get virtualization of x86_64 macOS on arm64 hosts. It would be really cool to be able to do su

This prompt is not even tied into the underlying TCC system; it's basically purely decorative. Failing to respond to the prompt, or responding "Open System Settings" to the prompt, does not even revoke the existing permission

Yeah after thinking about it a bit more it does make more sense to me. The primary gap I had was, as you allude here: > You can use a copyable anywhere you’d use a non-copyable since there is no restriction. Effectively copyable always c

Since you asked: The provided `drinkable` example I think is pretty bad and it's very surprising to me that this is a headline feature. protocol Drinkable: ~Copyable { consuming func use() } struct Coffee: Drinkable, ~Copy

The title sort of implies this is intentional or privileged to Apple, while it rather seems more like just a bug. I also wish people would post the FB numbers and the details of their report when they say they've reported things like t

I was mistaken; I was conflating Permissive Security with SIP. Permissive Security does have those limitations.

Before yesterday's Sequoia update, this was a daily permission prompt. In a vacuum, I don't consider this to be an extremely poor decision; the system picker has a mostly-sane interface. Apps that capture the screen currently have

What are the issues the author alludes to about AppX packages sucking? Looks like the new Fluent stuff wants you to use those. Curious to know what pain points exist there.

This is a bit of a tangential rant, so I apologize. But I recently tried to update Death Stranding, the flagship AAA game that Apple landed on macOS and in the App Store. The game itself is 77.5 GB; it had required a little over 150 GB to i

The goals of this project and the goals of N64 emulation are fairly different. The goal of N64 emulators (generally) is to accurately recreate the behavior of the original console. Conversely, there is a large crowd of people who just want

To operate this tool, you still need to disassemble the ROM up front and annotate it heavily before it can be recompiled. This tool is very nice, to be sure, but the hyperbole about anything close to one-click generation of standalone execu

Something is fucked up with Apple Music streaming playback; it may be Bluetooth specific or may not be. In nearly every song I stream, whether it's from my iCloud library or Apple Music itself, there's a stutter at exactly the 15

Modern Objective-C with ARC is fairly painless, especially compared to the Objective-C of yore. And if you are doing macOS-specific work for a C/C++ codebase, it's still simpler to integrate than Swift is. Method swizzling is also

For Morrowind you should use OpenMW https://openmw.org/downloads/ The rule of thumb is generally that for Windows games pre-2008ish, Parallels is a better choice, since they tend to rely on weird corners of Windows com

I don't think anyone is trying to go to bat for Apple's graphics API policies in this thread or are corporate shills. I originally described it as a screed because of the tone, profanity, several factual inaccuracies, as well as t

Hoping this would bear fruit for macOS, but looks like the maintainer instead has written a mini anti-Apple screed and intentionally doesn't support it. https://github.com/FWGS/xash3d-fwgs/issues/61

Yes, Portal 2 and Half-Life 2 are both more playable because they don't use x87 to the same extent. It's only HL that uses it heavily enough that it becomes unplayable. Side note, I think HL2 does for physics, or something; fast

It's unplayable in Rosetta because of the x87 everywhere. Like sub-20 fps unplayable.

Bit disappointed that they're still using the same mini LED displays. After the iPhone announce, I was looking forward to proper OLED with 1600 nit peak for the MacBook Pros. Don't get me wrong, I'm very happy with my 16&quot

If Apple is going to support AV1, it starts with decoding. Apple isn't going to give their phone the ability to record videos in a format that the desktop OS and the desktop computers don't even support. Once AV1 decoding is prese
