Recently a friend of mine got a new #Windows PC for running #Cubase on it. He installed his previously used software, namely Cubase and #Voxengo audio plugins on the new box.

When he opened a Cubase project he had copied from his old PC, none of the plugins in that project were detected any more. Even though he had them installed. So he had to open the project on the old machine, write all plugin settings down to paper, re-insert the very same plugins on the new machine into the very same project and restore the settings from his notes.

I just copied an #Ardour project from #OSX to #UbuntuStudio #Linux. I use some Windows #Voxengo plugins on Linux via #LinVST, while I use native Voxengo binaries on OS X.

The Ardour project created on OS X plays on Linux out of the box, using all plugins (given they are installed).

Just one of these many details in how your #DAW does certain things.

I got tired of opening eBird for incidental birds I see from my window while I work on my laptop. So, I made an automatic logger for my command line, and added an Alfred extension so I could log in with a few keystrokes.

You can also add comments and numbers, which is nice.

Could the Amiga have become a true multiuser OS, akin to Unix, or was it too tied to specific hardware and lack of memory protection for that to be possible?

Could it have taken a path similar to MacOS classic and OSX? I never had an Amiga, so forgive any obvious ignorance on my part.

OK, first pass at a working tiling window manager for OSX is a thing (yes, you read that correctly)

This is me updating Penrose to remove the X11-isms and then implementing a backend for OSX that lets you drop in pretty much all of the existing functionality from the Penrose crate (minus the status bar and a couple of extensions).

It's still pretty hacky at this stage, and there are plenty of bugs to sort out but I'm happy with how much ends up working out of the box!

Late night chat on ATT&CK Slack about malware authors cross-compiling on Linux and OS X. I have a couple of Linux examples, but we'd be curious to see some OS X cases, particularly if they're using cross-compatibility?

W #OSX jest jakas opcja zeby bylo widac zawsze okienko np kasowania w Finderze? - ciągłe "pokaż wszystkie okienka" jest wkurzające a juz mi sie zdarzało że coś kopiowałem i przekonany że się kopiowanie skończyło chciałem coś skasować. Co jak co ale explorer w Windows jest mimo wielu niedoróbek lepiej przemyślany.

Ist es eine gute Idee ein #Linux (wahrscheinlich #LinuxMint) als dualboot auf einem #MacBookAir 2018 mit T2 Security Chip zu installieren?

Würde das so laufen dass ich es als Hauptsystem verwenden möchte?

Ich mache gerne den Aufwand aber nicht wenn dann zB. der Ton nicht geht oder sowas. Neue Hardware kaufen ist erstmal keine Option, dafür läuft die Kiste noch zu gut. Hab eine PC rumstehen da kommt es auf jeden Fall drauf aber nichts mobiles. #MacOS #OSX

Algo que me super caga de las ultimas versiones de #OSX es que las teclas de control de multimedia son reasignadas a la ultima app que reprodujo video o audio, entonce si le das play aun video de youtube se asigan al navegador, si le das play a un mensaje del whtasss se asigna al whats y asi.

I am not alone on large external HDD taking many (MANY) minutes to appear on OSX. I had thought I had a failing drive, but no:

#OSX has become junk.

I am considering selling my #Mac #M2 Pro, I paid $2800 for it and its almost brand-new. Definitely lookingfor a reasonable offer on this as I want to at least reclaim some of the money that I spent on it, I don't hate the Mac, I just don't use it very much and figured I could sell it to someone who might have more use of the M2 Pro. #selling #Mac #OSX #Apple

GO #GNU #Linux now :D

Recently I made the mistake to buy a Mac Mini. While the hardware is quite nice, Mac OS is a pain in the ass. The user experience with Pop OS has been way better. Everything just works on Linux. Weirdly, even getting a Wacom tablet to work on OSX is not as easy as on Linux.

Category of totally random. OSX Mojave doesn't play nice with `rspec --bisect` anymore because it crashes out when forking, like so:

objc[49901]: +[__NSCFConstantString initialize] may have been in progress in another thread when fork() was called.

My colleague told me to try running with the environment variable `OBJC_DISABLE_INITIALIZE_FORK_SAFETY=YES` and it works.

OBJC_DISABLE_INITIALIZE_FORK_SAFETY=YES rspec --bisect --seed 1234

What is this magic?
