Is there any update to Music.app? 50% of my work on a computer is managing my local music library, and the app is extremely buggy since the rewrite in Big Sur. Want to make sure it doesn't become more buggy in this release.

I went to the wikipedia page, which is kinda the point. No other OS requires you too look it up. Even WatchOS and iOS directly use version numbers. Saying it's due to NextStep integration sounds like a strange defense of this naming strategy (if that was your intention). They have version numbers, but they decide to use the "code name" as a product name.

#374So it goes... Warning: You are using macOS 11. We (and Apple) do not provide support for this old version. It is expected behaviour that some formulae will fail to build in this old version. It is expected behaviour that Homebrew will be buggy and slow. Do not create any issues about this on Homebrew's GitHub repositories. Do not create any issues even if you think this message is unrelated. Any opened issues will be…
https://nixos.org/download.html#nix-install-macos The homebrew team seems incredibly burnt-out, to the point of hostility. I've really enjoyed the nixpkgs community so far and encourage others to check it out; it hasn't replaced homebrew entirely for me (yet), but it's getting closer every day.

These warnings keep getting longer every homebrew release. You may want to try macPorts, which goes out of their way to explicitly support releases all the way down to 10.5.
One of the cooler experiences I've had with MacPorts was seeing some people go out of their way to ensure builds still worked on PPC Tiger and PPC Leopard. I remember seeing SBCL builds broken on Darwin/ppc for a long while, and eventually SBCL decided to drop support for Darwin/ppc altogether. Still, these ports maintainers did not give up and eventually found a way to fix SBCL builds on PPC: https://trac.macports.o…
macports is great! doesn't get enough love imo.
same could be said for pkgsrc I guess. I've used that on other *nix systems; haven't tried it on MacOS yet but the fact it's an option is huge

I thought it was just me, albums getting duplicated with few one song in one and most in other.
What issues you face with music app ?

I want to like Nix but those installation instructions for macOS (and their removal friend) are just crazypants as compared to the `sudo mkdir /nix && sudo chown $USER /nix` from the Linux version And that's not even getting into the "waaa?" from `du -hs /nix` although I am open to that being a misleading number due to hardlinks and other trickery that du may not correctly surface
Try running `sudo mkdir /nix && sudo chown $USER /nix` on modern macOS.

The fact that Safari is available for multiple OS versions might be a remnant of the work done to ship Safari for Windows.
I reckon it's more likely that Safari as a browser represents a more important set of security holes and therefore Apple feels greater obligation to patch patch problems (and that's easier to do by simply shipping the whole app rather than patches for old versions).
This is exactly it - as long as they support macOS for X years they need to release safari updates for that long, so they might as well decouple that one.

Yes, but 1Password standalone is missing many of the features of the subscription service that would be impossible to implement without it.
What features are those? I was forced off standalone when they broke using dropbox as a sync backend, but it's really just a fancy keychain at this point ...
You scared me! Dropbox sync is still working for me in 1P7 for me. When did it break for you? (I'm using the latest macOS and iOS.)

Yeah album duplication is the most annoying, also
