Time to move to MacPorts.
Don't move today, because the Sonoma release is not out yet. https://www.macports.org/install.php
Looks like it’s out now.
macOS Sonoma is available today

#492Nice, time for the yearly reinstall. I usually reinstall my MacBook whenever the new OS releases, it keeps my machine clean and fast.
I’ve never reinstalled a Mac. I literally don’t know how to do that. I’ve upgraded my M1 Air to Sonoma yesterday and everything seems to be working, just as it did on Big Sur, Monterey and Ventura. My girlfriend still uses my 2013 MacBook upgraded all the way from Mavericks to Big Sur, and used as a dev machine most of that time, without an issue.

Context? Homebrew is working fine on Sonoma here. I do not get that or a similar message.
Apparently hating on homebrew is super popular right now. I run brew on osx and linux and have zero issues.
I didn't even know Homebrew ran on Linux. Why do you choose Homebrew for your Linux distro instead of its default package manager?

He is talking about MAC OS 11 Big Sur
macOS or MacOS but never MAC OS or MACOS. MAC is an acronym for Media Access Control (as in: MAC address), Mac (or mac) is an abbreviation of Macintosh.
MAC is also a cosmetics company (https://www.maccosmetics.com/). It can be many things.

Something cool however is you can actually build the open-source WebKit browser engine yourself and make closed-source Safari use your locally built version.
Do you have a link or something ? I couldn’t really find where you’d do that

#496So 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…
"If you see a Homebrew maintainer walking down the street in your direction, find the nearest wall and bury your face in it in shame and deference until they pass."
Do people care about this?
All I see is, they protect themself from each and every script kiddy that runs to reddit or github when something doesn't work because of their own config issues.

Yea the homebrew dev team is pretty user hostile tbh.
The more you read their github, the more you realize how insufferable and arrogant they are. It leaves a very bad impression.
Also, if you are not going along in the upgrade rabbit race, homebrew gets really annoying and actually in your way at some point.
I see myself moving to macports soon, if brew gets worse and the stability of my setup is compromised (lots of php versions with valet for example).
I guess brew is now more targeted at “prosumers” now since it is imposing unnecessary limits on what “pro” users want and need.

#498Sonoma UI feels great.
I'm also excited that they finally fixed Quartz Debug — the "Enable Vertical Sync" option finally works again when disabled.
My mouse feels snappier and there's noticeably less delay when moving windows around.

> 4. Mac OS X 10.2 (Jaguar) - 2002 Or “Jagwire”, as Steve Jobs said: https://youtu.be/nXJsS4B42_Q?t=708
That's how Jaguar is pronounced in American English.
Is it? I browsed a bunch of YouTube videos this way and no one said it like jagwire:

I doubt they care about Mac customers. If they did, they would have avoided ruining the app's UI so that customers don't have a good reason to jump ship at the first opportunity.
The new UI is such a downgrade. It took the app from feeling well made to feeling like your average bloaty SaaS app. I’m gonna have to figure out an alternative once 1PW 7 is no longer supported.
For the past year or so I thought I was being silly for feeing the 1P has gotten so clunky. Now I get it. I had no idea they had migrated to Electron, but the app is much shittier. It can’t even remember which window size I’ve set it to, and prefers to reopen in whatever size it wants. (We’re a business customer.)
