Try to add a directory named mything.service - no service for you!. You can even try creating it in a terminal and then looking at it in finder.
Ooof.

Re: Sublime text started adding a “.s” to new files
#62I've recently come across a spectacular number of regressions on my M3 Max MacBook Pro, Sequoia as well as previous versions included. The most workflow breaking one (which really tempts me to throw the computer out of the closest window I can find in the room) is a Safari bug that basically randomly fails to open any website with a > Safari can't open the page.

Some other things that devs should know about Sequoia:
- If you're sticking to Sonoma for stability, be aware Apple doesn't backport all security patches. Apple's release notes show 79 security issues fixed in Sequoia, and only 37 fixed in Sonoma 14.7. Maybe some vulns were only introduced in the Sequoia betas, but based on previous years, that's mostly not the case. Apple only keeps you safe on the latest version.
- macOS Sequoia, released days ago, still includes vulnerable years-old binaries like LibreSSL 3.3.6, curl 8.7.1, and python 3.9.6. https://www.intego.com/mac-security-blog/apple-still-leaving... (I've tested it's still true on the final 15.0)

#63apple also failed at using autocorrect for emoji. Type: "sorry I was late. I ran" and you want to put :sweat: but I assume you want :running: Put "I hope tomorrow is sunny" and want :pray: but it puts :sun: I guesses wrong 4 out of 5 times for me and ab unpredictable ux is a shit ux

It’s actually not _predicting_ what emoji you want. There’s aliases assigned to each emoji and you are presented with the options based on the last word you typed. You might know this already, but how Apple has coded it is it’ll replace the last word with an emoji unless you put a trailing space. But if you put down a space first it’ll add the emoji. So in your examples you would write “I hope tomorrow is sunny pray”…
This is a very reasonable way for it to work IMO. OP wants it to.. guess based on context? That’s going to be wrong more often than right.. Reasonable ask if they want it to auto-suggest emoji based on message history though.
the OP doesn't want it to guess at all

It bonkers isnt it! Do none of Apple's developer team use any other editor at anytime other than XCode! How was this not picked up in beta testing!? Here's another gripe: The tiling feature maddens me! You cant disable it completely or remap the key bindings. Did anyone at Apple even test this using a full size Magic Keyboard? Using the FN key to move windows is fine when the key is down next to the Control key. Whic…
Are you sure you can't remap the keyboard shortcuts? I believe you can change them in System Settings -> Keyboard -> Keyboard Shortcuts
Yeah, this is one of the old things going way back. Native apps never offer remapping of anything because they don't have to; as long as something has a menu item entry you can change the shortcuts at the system level.

Maybe I’m getting old, but my long time preference for Arch is slowly being overtaken by my appreciation for Debian. It’s not the usual complaint about stability — I’ve had one issue in a dozen years with Arch — I just reached a point where I feel like I’m living in the future running Linux software from five years ago, so maybe I don’t need to upgrade quite so relentlessly. Anything I don’t have, I can compile.
What Debian has nailed in the last 10 years is the package management situation that is so smooth. This is why I’m leaving Arch, everything breaks sometimes or a dep won’t upgrade for this or that reason. Debian you install and the package probably has a pretty good initial config and works. Any packages that aren’t recent enough can be built usually because the toolchain versions are probably recent enough. So it re…
I always have such a difficult time messing with packages on debian. On arch, there is a single PKGBUILD file, and it's basically the simplest thing anyone could think of which makes it bliss to work with. On the other hand, debian/rules is a complete mess, apt-get update is notoriously slow, and I have not had good experiences with dpkg-buildpackage compared to makepkg.
Re: Sublime text started adding a “.s” to new files
#67Title here should be "Sublime text started adding a “.s” to new files. Very annoying".
For that to be the case you’d need two posts: Zed is apparently following the same convention: https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/16969
It’s a tiresome exercise to enumerate all of the ways in which Apple is eating the seed corn by making their platform hostile to the type of people who build the highest margin part of their platform. The first time I remember being irked was when it was some obscure incantation to get aarch64-darwin to accept bash instead of zsh without complaint, but the endlessly tightening screws around quasi-documented “quarantine” permission bits on executables that no one paid 30% tax on to do an HTTP request was when it started getting concerning. It’s been going downhill since. sudo not meaning sudo is pretty much the point when it went to “actively fight upgrades, even security patches, because the dominant threat actor is the vendor”. The rootkit is coming from inside the house.
I don’t even understand this as a pro-business bias: the people who build Sublime and Zed run businesses. Small (relatively) businesses, the kind we ostensibly cheer for.
It’s like a pro-my-retirement account bias or something. When did OG hackers start taking the side of the guy on the screen in the Orwell ad against the side of the gal with the hammer?

#68In Windows land, you can put quotes around your file name to prevent the default extension from being added to the filename.

This happens everywhere in Apple products. It thinks it knows better than you, and completely screws power users. Try manually adding IMAP/POP/SMTP servers in Mail in both iOS and MacOS. First off the process is nowhere near consistent. Second, they both try to be clever if they detect supported hosts like gmail. It'll kick off different flows because it thinks gmail is gmail. So for things like custom reply-to's, it…
Gmail requires a different login flow, because they're dropping password authentication in favor of OAuth, for pretty reasonable security reasons.
And entering my password in a different kind of text box is more secure how?

I promise, you will be just fine without the security updates.
