This looks great. What would be the equivalent of this on Windows? It feels like everyone just invents their own.
MSIX + scheduled task is the way https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/msix/non-store-dev... Or just publish to MS Store and/or winget.
Maybe I‘m weird, but for some reason seeing a Sparkle „Update available“ modal popping up fils me with joy (The software I‘m using is getting better) and I enjoy reading the changelog. If there’s some weird custom updater in another software it always fills me with dread because I have to navigate a different UI, and probably have to restart it immediately.

I used MacPorts back in the 00s and early 10s but switched to Homebrew when it came out because it was less hassle. Wanted to give it another shot with my latest clean OS install, but wound up installing Homebrew again due to broken packages on MacPorts. Probably should’ve tried to contribute by fixing those packages but didn’t have the time or mental energy available at that point in time.
How is it less hassle. Installation is similar just a standard mac install. apps are the same. The only difference is that Homebrew gets confused if you install your code or another build in /usr/local oh and Homebrew forces you to use non standard permissions on /usr/local
Homebrew was less hassle in that most of the time, it successfully installed things and when it didn’t, it was fixed in short order.
Since then I’ve become much more capable of diagnosing and fixing broken packages but it’s still not something I’d like to spend my time on if I can help it.

I miss Adium.
I miss the world in which software like Adium was possible

It still is. Matrix, and other federated platforms, are exploding in popularity. You could start here, if you are interested, to get a taste: https://matrix.org/docs/chat_basics/matrix-for-im/#creating-...

So do I, so often. I made an Adiumy animation pack for my university that actually got mildly popular, and it was amazing. Such a quality app, and so nice when communication systems were standards not apps.
Well, they weren't really standards by design either, people just reverse engineered their protocols. One could still do that, it's just that... nobody does anymore?

Data from analytics.usa.gov [1] reveals that Chrome leads browser usage at 48%, closely followed by Safari at 35.7%, highlighting the competitive proximity of Safari to Chrome. Definitely much higher share than I thought. [1] https://analytics.usa.gov/
Those would almost entirely be from iPhones where all browsers are technically Safari
The whole malicious compliance shebang. EU mandates browser choice, so Apple implements new technological measures to ensure that browser choice will still not be offered outside the EU
