One thing that would be nice to add is to automatically get the current city/state. I'm in Rochester enough that simply leaving "Rochester, NY" hardcoded and hand-editing the few times I need to is plenty easy, but it's always fun to automate more things.

I tried this (github.com/fulldecent/coreloca) but I and others have found that in recent macOS versions, it asks you to allow it access to location services, but never shows up in the menu to allow that.

I also saw this option (benward.uk/blog/macos-location) using macOS shortcuts, and I tried his shortcut, but I get the error `zsh: killed shortcuts run getCoreLocationData`.

@aaronsgiles #FunFact since #macOS Mojave, Quicklook hasn't been able to be configured to zoom images *up* (when you have its window fullscreened on a second display) to fill your screen, and will always display them at 1:1 if they're smaller.

If you ever want to write another viewer that can be fullscreened to one display, while leaving a file browser for sorting / moving images open on another...

@arstechnica yeah, for me, Windows is only used for gaming. A souped-up Xbox.

And i don’t mind if they snapshot that. 😄

It’s hazardous to use it for anything more. MacOS has gotten much better, particularly when you enable the end-to-end encryption.

Linux, I have faith. Not much more though because I never bother to dig under the hood at everything I use.

Faith in others in Linux to be vigilant for me in the sources.

But faith is faith. 😏

MacSSL: a port of Mbed-TLS for the classic Mac OS 7/8/9

Yesterday we had SDL2 for the classic Mac OS, today we have modern SSL/TLS for the classic Mac OS.

This is a C89/C90 port of MbedTLS for Mac System 7/8/9. It works, and compiles under Metrowerks Codewarrior Pro 4.

This is a basic app that performs a GET request on whatever is in api.h, and prints the result out to the tex

I’m thinking about starting to play games.
I need to have something to do in the evenings.

I’m on a MacBook Pro M4.

I have no idea what I like, since I have never been a gamer.

I’ve read a few reviews, and I’m thinking about getting Baldur's Gate 3.

I guess I get it from Steam?

Does anyone have some input about this?

Vielleicht möchte ich mal wieder #Linux eine Chance auf meinem Desktop geben. Bislang bin ich mit #MacOS durchaus zufrieden - auch aus einem Grunde: Augenfreundlichkeit.
Mein Bildschirm ist 27" 5k, und da ich schlechte Augen habe, muß ich immer wieder in den Bildschirm reinzoomen. Das geht elegant mit Ctrl-Scrollrad (bzw. Scrollen auf dem Trackpad). Brauche ich dauernd. Und durch die hohe Pixeldichte bleibt Schrift scharf, auch bei tiefem Reinzoomen.

Geht sowas bei Linux auch? Oder ist das vom WM abhängig? Ich würde mich für i3wm oder dwm entscheiden.

SDL2 ported to Mac OS 9

Well, this you certainly don't see every day.

This is a "rough draft" of SDL2 for MacOS 9, using CodeWarrior Pro 6 and 7. Enough was done to get it building in CW, and the start of a "macosclassic" video driver was created. It DOES seem to basically work, but much still needs to be done. Event handling is just enough to handling Command-Q, there is no audio, etc etc etc.

@owainski I like #iWork but it’s a different UI concept than the #MSO #OpenOffice concept so it takes a bit of getting used to. I’ve been using #LiO from its beginning on both #Windows and #Linux as well as #MacOS. The cross-device integration is much better with iWork and I’ve found #Numbers to be more advanced (at least for my limited use of spreadsheets) than either Excel or Calc. But if you use LiO on your desktop or notebook and #Collabora on your tablet or mobile, w/ the Cloud, they work.

I was testing some wallpapers this weekend so I was adding files into /Library/Desktop Pictures over and over so they would show up in System Settings > Wallpaper.

However, I noticed that the files just don't get removed and added in the Systems Settings UI automatically. You have to actually quit System Settings for new items to show.

I feel like old Apple wouldn't have allowed this. That actually was one of the best things about #macOS -- listening for changes to a directory and updating.
