Taking a screenshot on a mac.
Like the window screenshot? Got it. How does it have the cool fade shadow, automatic?
yes, the drop shadow is automatic if you use the window capture mode.
how about stuff like python, webservers or java apps running in x86-64 linux docker containers?
very curious what the effects are of the new arch on common developer use cases. (without having to recompile/rebuild everything for apple arm)

Does this make brew compile subsequent binaries in x86 though? Or is it purely cosmetic.
Homebrew maintainer here. We don’t officially support Big Sur yet, but installing it via Rosetta will cause it to fetch x86 bottles instead of ARM ones. At least, that’s the plan.
By having your default be assuming user consent to surveillance, you have produced spyware that reports a user’s track log history to Google via IP geolocation and a persistent unique machine identifier included with the request to Google Analytics every time the user installs a package using brew.
I assume most Homebrew users are ignorant of this fact, because you never demanded informed consent before doing it.
You are part of a troubling and growing trend of remote developers misusing the computers of their users simply because network requests are, by default, invisible to the user. Most users will never consent to such a thing if they are aware of it occurring.
It would be quite nice if, in my new machine setup checklist, I not have to include separate steps to disable my package manager’s spying on my activities in addition to the steps I already have to take to disable the macOS’s spying on my activities.

I wonder if Nix on macOS could become a better homebrew-killer by supporting Apple Silicon first. We already do aarch64-linux natively and some iOS cross compilation, so that should give us a head start.
I moved over from Homebrew to Nix around 5 months ago, haven't since needed to use Homebrew except for casks.

macports is a better homebrew-killer IMHO. Follows MacOS guidelines and frameworks, integrates with the MacOS way in terms of launch agents etc.

Huh, so Apple is installing both the ARM and x86 version of apps, even on ARM computers. I guess that makes sense for portability, but I don't know if other parts of the root filesystem are one architecture only, such as the path to the kernel (unless that's a fat binary too?).
--edit-- Sweet it works.
