I was making a little Mac app wrapper for talking to teletype games. Fucking Xcode.

What does this ViewBridge error mean? I found a few forums where nobody knows, it's just some shit Apple does.

Obvs all my code in this is Objective-C & XIB interface, Swift is C++ with worse syntax, and hilariously not swift.

@nprofile1q... I've had multiple employers insist on Azure or previous Windows hosting, & it's N times slower, more expensive, & unreliable than the Dell under someone's desk. But the MS kickbacks or whatever they do to IT who work with them, overrules that.

Inside MS it's all team-vs-team political shit, so I wouldn't expect software to get written at all, kind of impressive they can ship anything, even if none of it works.

Well, great part of those deps come from ffmpeg. I do not get why it brings e.g. libXaw (it is 2026, not 1996) or urw-fonts, but there is not much what can be done to decrease number of deps. Manual compilation of ffmpeg seems to be the only way, probably not worth losing time.

Maybe I was not clear earlier, but the only really needed ("hard") dependencies are python, js interpreter and ffmpeg. The first two have very little or none their own dependencies, the last one may have more, but it would be hard to convert/work on videos without stuff like dav1d or opus. IMO it do...

Well, yes, you can, but you do not have to, if you do not like installing all those dependencies. There is a choice.

I miss being able to watch yustub videos, but now they're just stuck in endless ads, or ad-blocker-blocker dialogs.

If they think I'm somehow going to PAY them for this increasing hostility, they're out of their teeny tiny minds.

GEEZ, there's a lot of dependencies for yt-dlp now. Will see if that works, & I can actually watch *A VIDEO*, or if yustub is just dead to me.

To run yt-dlp against YT you need python, deno/quickjs/bun and ffmpeg (not needed if you need to download audio only) and that's it. I followed this instruction - https://dalliard.ch/bsd/ytdlp/ - and works like yt-dlp from ports. In fact, it will still work without js interpreter, but list of downlo...

@ティージェーグレェ I mean, you're doing that to yourself, using a tech preview. It's probably logging, or has debug code. You can switch back to release Safari & it should be stable. I've had some Safari issues, but they're not too bad.

I'm talking about design decisions, like making tabs open in the middle of a giant line of tabs. & even that may be a bug, Apple says "can't reproduce" & wontfixes it. Eh.

Indeed, a release Safari does not exhibit such issues. I do dev work too; for example: /usr/bin/openssl version LibreSSL 3.3.6 (released: March 15th, 2022) Whereas: /opt/local/bin/openssl version LibreSSL 4.3.2 (released May 25th, 2026; and I updated the MacPort for that the same day, since I am...

This morning's hate:
Install application, run it.
"This program is damaged & will be moved to the trash!"

Actually you need to know to go into System Settings, Privacy & Security, scroll WAY down, no red (!) indicators, & hit Allow on the program you just installed, then "do you want to move it to the Trash?" NO! OPEN!
& finally it works.

We've seen this before:

Everything you have done is bad. You have made the world a worse place by being in it. Please at least stop inflicting your bad design ideas on us.
