#MacOs
As much as I like new stuff, it’s always wise to wait until a few updates have come down the pipe before doing a clean install. By that time all my favourite software should be compatible. This is especially true for #KeyboardMaestro. I absolutely couldn’t live without it. #MacOS #Sonoma
Important considerations before updating to macOS Sonoma: bugs affecting app functionality, compatibility limitations on older models, and increased security bulletins. Exciting features include Game Mode, customizable widgets, enhanced video conferencing, Lock Screen, and improved privacy in Safari. Back up data before updating. Stay informed about updates from Apple.
My #sonos saga continues: recently up-versioned iPhone app can't find the devices on my Wi-Fi even after ‘fixing’ them. For grins I tried the #macOS app (after manually downloading and updated that, since in-app updates fail, sigh.) Lo and behold that sees that some of the devices need an update. Complete that and the macOS (still Ventura) app can control all devices just fine. The iPhone app, however, says they need to be fixed - no thanks. All this on the same, unchanged in months, Wi-Fi. 🤔🤯
FWIW, I found #macOS Notification Center to be far more useful when I could bind a key (in my case F12, YMMV) to toggle showing it. Apple unfortunately doesn't make the setting easy to discover. You need to travel this path to get to it: Settings App ▸ Keyboard ▸ Keyboard Shortcuts…▸ Mission Control ▸ Show Notification Center

Wait the “presenter overlay” feature in #macOS Sonoma doesn’t work with 3rd party webcams?? Guess I can’t use the one feature I was kind of excited about 🙄 https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2023/09/macos-14-sonoma-the-ars-technica-review/13/#h2
A 2009 #Macbook got a second life. It had #MacOS Sierra (EOL 4 years ago) installed and was terribly slow with it. The original hard drive replaced with SSD, memory upgraded from 4 to 8 GB, #Fedora #Linux (#Silverblue) installed and it's a decent laptop again.
I updated to #macOS Sonoma yesterday and am reinstalling my #MacPorts ports.
The current bottleneck preventing installing #Emacs (specifically emacs-app-devel) is this build error in llvm-14:

Does anyone here have experience installing macOS Sonoma on a Mac that is no longer supported (MacBook Pro 2017)?

Big news for the Penguin folks, #CounterStrike 2 has come out!
On that note... CS:GO no longer works on #macOS!? 👀
I'm tired of being left out. It's saddening. +
Dziś wieczorem Apple udostępniło deweloperom pierwsze bety kolejnych aktualizacji swoich najnowszych systemów.
Oczywiście najwięcej zmian można zaobserwować w iOS 17.1 beta 1. A są to m.in.:
- nowa opcja zaznaczania utworów i albumów jako ulubionych, co skutkuje pojawieniem się ich na playliście Ulubione;
- możliwość zmiany okładki własnych playlist. Wystarczy w widoku wybranej playlisty wcisnąć przycisk trzech kropek, a z menu wybrać Edytuj. Do dyspozycji dostaniemy kilka propozycji okładek lub możliwość wybrania własnej z biblioteki zdjęć;
- w ustawieniach AirDrop pojawiła się opcja, która pozwala przesyłać dane nawet, gdy utracimy połączenie Wi-Fi, czyli z wykorzystaniem transmisji komórkowej;
- rezydenci Wielkiej Brytanii mogą teraz podejrzeć stan konta bankowego w aplikacji Portfel.
Co ciekawe, mamy też informację o nowości, która pojawiła się w watchOS 10.1 beta 1. Chodzi o NameDrop – funkcję dzielenia się swoim kontaktem z innymi użytkownikami poprzez zetknięcie dwóch urządzeń. Ponadto został odnaleziony kod związany z gestem dwukrotnego tąpnięcia palcami w Apple Watch S9 i Ultra 2, ale póki co nie pojawiła się jeszcze opcja, by ten gest włączyć.
W pozostałych systemach nie odnaleziono póki co nic nowego.

Almost forgot! If you’re on #macOS, and your menu bar items are sprawling out of control, it’s worth giving Bartender a shot. I know other apps exist—and I’d love to hear your recommendations!—but I’ve always been quite pleased with this one.
Sonoma is shaping up to be YET another #macOS release that adds nothing of value and only has me go through a ton of menus to turn all the new and "innovative" features off.
Ars Technica review of macOS 14 Sonoma:
https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2023/09/macos-14-sonoma-the-ars-technica-review/
Looks like on #macOS Sonoma, AppKit logs a warning for apps that haven't enabled secure restorable state:
WARNING: Secure coding is not enabled for restorable state! Enable secure coding by implementing NSApplicationDelegate.applicationSupportsSecureRestorableState: and returning YES.
Secure coding for restorable state was implemented in macOS Monterey to fix https://sector7.computest.nl/post/2022-08-process-injection-breaking-all-macos-security-layers-with-a-single-vulnerability/
It still bugs me that after all these years, #Apple still hasn’t addressed menu bar item overflow in #macOS. Windows solved this years ago. So did most Linux DEs. Seriously, what’s the hold up?
On the other hand, I’m not sure I want Apple to Sherlock the devs of Bartender and similar apps. So maybe the status quo is fine? 🤷🏻♀️
It’s been just a little over 24 hours since upgrading to #macOS #Sonoma. So far, so good!
I only ran into one teeny issue, which had to do with Bartender. Apparently, Bartender 5 is needed for Sonoma compatibility, and it’s a paid upgrade from Bartender 4. I swallowed the cost—hell, even became a “mega supporter”—because I’m all about supporting indie devs. But yeah, kind of a bummer?
All in all, a better situation than past years, where some essential apps straight up broke after upgrading.
Installed #macOS Sonoma. Turns out you *can* still have custom videos, even add entries. But it's more finicky than how it was in the beta.
I'll likely make a blog post explaining how to make it work.

PostScript, the venerable page description language dating back to Macs in the '80s, has finally hit the end of the road in macOS Sonoma. #macos #sonoma #postscript
MacOS Sonoma (14.0) just landed here so I know what I’m doing for the next few hours. 😂
Two Mac Mini, a MacBook and two iPad Airs to update. Probably the phone too.
#macos
I started converting my current #macOS configuration to a #chezmoi-based #DotFiles repo to set up a new computer, but I think the better approach would be to set it up from scratch with chezmoi instead. 🤔 This will make me re-think what I need and how I want it, and I can already apply what I learned about chezmoi so far.
I'll start with backing up my old Mac and the repo and then start tinkering. I just hope I'll be finished by the time I have to return it. 🤞🏻😅
Accidentally installed two copies of some internal app `/Applications/Foo.app` and `/Applications/Foo 2.app` and now whenever I drag one of them to the trash, the other one stops working.
Mehr als zwei Jahre sind seit der Einführung von Apple Silicon vergangen und alle wichtigen Apps, die ich für meine Arbeit benötige, haben längst eine Anpassung bzw. Update für die neue Prozessorarchitektur durchgeführt, ausgenommen, Papyrus Author. Was ist da los und warum verlangt die Version 11 noch immer die Installation von Rosetta? Kommt bald ein Update?

Installing #macOS #Sonoma on my new #M1Max #MacBookPro (was 800 CHF off (!), plus trade-in of two devices made it even more of a #NoBrainer).
Il y a quelque chose de particulier à prévoir pour que #nginx fonctionne normalement avec une installation via #homebrew sur #MacOS ?
Là il me fait comme s'il ne chargeait pas les css (qui sont pourtant bien là et accessibles), et me balance plus ou moins du texte brut. Sauf que j'ai 0 erreur nulle part et que ça me fatigue un petit peu.
Ich suche nach einer Möglichkeit, die Header der letzen 5 (?) VIP-Emails aus #Apple Mail als #MacOS Widget auf dem Desktop anzuzeigen. Das scheint nicht vorgesehen zu sein: gibt generell kein Mail-Widget (warum nicht?)
Lösungen? Hacks? Anyone?

Aren’t these interactive desktop widgets in MacOS Sonoma the same thing as Active Desktop in Win95+IE4??

@mpospese *nodds in agreement*
I find the bloatedness of #macOS inexcuseable and I've to agree with people like #HughJeffreys that do suspect that #Apple - which has a vested interest on selling people new devices - will purposefully make their OSes bloaty and slower on older devices...
After all, Apple got caught artifically slowing down their #iPhone|s "to preserve battery life" instead of making their devices more #repairable...
Sonoma is literally unusable. Look at that top left corner.
Apple just updated the support page about iCloud Keychain and removed the part that says when keychain data is deleted from Apple servers. This means if #iOS17, #iPadOS17, or #macOS 14 has turned syncing on without your permission, it's a hassle to make sure data is deleted from #Apple servers.
Our investigation and testing showed that upgrading to Apple's latest operating systems switch iCloud Keychain on without user permission. The number of users experiencing this issue is growing 👇:
On days like today, I really, *really* miss the #MacOS app CSSEdit; I know it got rolled into some other app, when when you need to really get down in the weeds, it was amazing.
Has anything else come close (for MacOS)? #webDevelopment #WebDev
iMac updated to macOS 14 Sonoma! Happy hump day! #macOS
In related news: People told me that they see reactions on screen when I do a thumbs up (or even better two thumbs up)... #macos seems to enable reaction overlay for camera by default.
Happy #macOS Sonoma release. We published new Apache CouchDB Mac binaries last week that run fine on Sonoma: https://neighbourhood.ie/download-apache-couchdb-mac ✌️

Already enough changes for me today. #macos
First with iOS 17, and now reports are trickling in as people upgrade to macOS Sonoma: people are getting frustrated that they are doggedly prompted by third-party providers to register passkeys when before they were already buying into iCloud Keychain. It seems due to the fact that the latest Apple OS's don't let users specify different providers for passwords and passkeys.
If you squint a bit you can imagine this driving people away from iCloud Keychain. If one were trying to be diligent about where all their passkeys are stored, and another provider nags enough, it seems likely they'd capitulate.
Maybe this is by design? Perhaps the majority of people only ever use the built-in provider. If 1Password/Dashlane/BitWarden/etc... users are a fraction of a fraction of a percent of users then I can see why platform responses to such outcry might be a resounding, "eh, deal with it."
...I wonder how these things are playing out on the Android side of things 🤔

🪦 PostScript’s sudden death in Sonoma
➥ eclecticlight.co
「 More recently, security researchers have drawn attention to the fact that it’s a gift for anyone wishing to write and distribute malicious code. As it’s effectively an image format, embedding malware inside a PostScript file could enable that to be run without user interaction, as with some other graphics formats 」

loving Elk as a desktop app on #macOS. This has been a long time coming for macOS and in a past life I used to use #chrome to PWA'ify compatible apps. So far I don't think there's any restrictions on which websites can be added as an 'app' on macOS - which is pretty much how you'd want it, Users don't really care that the website hasn't added PWA support.
Continuity camera is such an amazing feature tbh. The potato camera on the MBP can suck it #macOS
Kanban view in Reminders 😍 #macOS
One of the features of #MacOS #Sonoma that I've most been looking forward to is column view in Reminders.
My ToDo list needs are minimal, and I was using Notion for them... which always felt clunky to me, for my use case. So, I've moved my Kanban over to Reminders and set it to column view. Totally adequate for me!
The iCloud Passwords Chrome extension works in Arc in #macOS Sonoma. Yay!!
Thanks to @rmondello and everyone on the Passwords team at Apple for extending this awesome featureset beyond Safari (which is a browser I dearly love, but the only way this all works is if all browsers can use Passwords).
PDX Transit for macOS is now live with updates for Sonoma. These updates are primarily UI in nature with the new full-height Inspector sidebar, a unified toolbar, and all-new layout for service alerts.
