#63Earlier quoted context omitted.
No source "freeware", would you trust a binary from a random Russian developer to not contain/deliver a trojan?
Would you trust a binary from a random developer to not contain/deliver a trojan? Russianness has nothing to do with it.
These days executing random code is standard and if you don't do it you're wierd. Case 1: browsers automatically execute code from random sources. Case 2: People tell you to curl someurl.whatever | sh to install compilers (ie, the only way to use the rust rustc on non-rolling distros). And it goes on and on. It's not really an exception to standard practice to install applications. The only difference here is that it is from an actual human person instead of a corporation. They are at least somewhat trustable, unlike corporations which always have their profit motive to sell you.
Also, if you only run programs that have been approved by a third party organization first you're really restricting yourself.
Re: Winamp clone in Swift for macOS
#64Minor point: I read this as OS/2. The author may want to correct that. macOS naming and versioning is confusing enough. macOS was never known as OS/X. It was formerly known as OS X and Mac OS X. As a former OS/2 user, it really threw me off for a second. Also, you're using a trademark ("Winamp") in the name. So, expect a C&D from Llama Group or whomever. Aside from that, it looks really nice and well-designed! And it…
100%! I first read as OS/2 as well, and was like interesting.

#65Why does the title call it OS/X? It's macOS and it's described that way on the repo.
Unfortunately his is just a recreation rather than an actual port, since the license for the source that was released prevents derivative works.
Foobar2000 is the spiritual successor to Winamp and it runs on Windows and macOS as well as mobile.

#66Why do people insist on still calling macOS "OS X" (or "OS/X" for that matter)?
Re: Winamp clone in Swift for macOS
#67This is not for OS X, this is for macOS 13.0 or later.
OS X is macOS 10. This application does not open on macOS 10.14.6.

#68QMMP should run under OSx.

Why do people insist on calling “X” “Twitter”?
When something has a name for 15 years, it tends to be pretty sticky.
“OS/X”, though, that’s just someone messed up and jumbled two names together.
