@arstechnica yeah, for me, Windows is only used for gaming. A souped-up Xbox.

And i don’t mind if they snapshot that. 😄

It’s hazardous to use it for anything more. MacOS has gotten much better, particularly when you enable the end-to-end encryption.

Linux, I have faith. Not much more though because I never bother to dig under the hood at everything I use.

Faith in others in Linux to be vigilant for me in the sources.

But faith is faith. 😏

MacSSL: a port of Mbed-TLS for the classic Mac OS 7/8/9

Yesterday we had SDL2 for the classic Mac OS, today we have modern SSL/TLS for the classic Mac OS.

This is a C89/C90 port of MbedTLS for Mac System 7/8/9. It works, and compiles under Metrowerks Codewarrior Pro 4.

This is a basic app that performs a GET request on whatever is in api.h, and prints the result out to the tex

In Sachen #office bin ich ohnehin schon lange weg von #microsoft. Entweder nutze ich die Apple-eigenen Office-Programme, welche mit #macos ausgeliefert werden (Pages, Numbers, Keynote), oder ich benutze #libreoffice. Pages ist allerdings zugänglicher. Das muss ich schon sagen.

Und sonst so?

Keine Werbung auf Webseiten. Keine Cookies oder Tracker. So weit wie möglich versuche ich das zu vermeiden. Das Internet funktioniert auch prima ohne den Mist. (4/5)

I’m thinking about starting to play games.
I need to have something to do in the evenings.

I’m on a MacBook Pro M4.

I have no idea what I like, since I have never been a gamer.

I’ve read a few reviews, and I’m thinking about getting Baldur's Gate 3.

I guess I get it from Steam?

Does anyone have some input about this?

Vielleicht möchte ich mal wieder #Linux eine Chance auf meinem Desktop geben. Bislang bin ich mit #MacOS durchaus zufrieden - auch aus einem Grunde: Augenfreundlichkeit.
Mein Bildschirm ist 27" 5k, und da ich schlechte Augen habe, muß ich immer wieder in den Bildschirm reinzoomen. Das geht elegant mit Ctrl-Scrollrad (bzw. Scrollen auf dem Trackpad). Brauche ich dauernd. Und durch die hohe Pixeldichte bleibt Schrift scharf, auch bei tiefem Reinzoomen.

Geht sowas bei Linux auch? Oder ist das vom WM abhängig? Ich würde mich für i3wm oder dwm entscheiden.

Statt glasigem macOS: Mach' doch besser ein "Snow Sequoia", Tim!

Apple hat wieder große Pläne mit dem neuen macOS: Ein Redesign soll er. Dabei wäre es womöglich schlauer, an der Stabilität zu feilen.

SDL2 ported to Mac OS 9

Well, this you certainly don't see every day.

This is a "rough draft" of SDL2 for MacOS 9, using CodeWarrior Pro 6 and 7. Enough was done to get it building in CW, and the start of a "macosclassic" video driver was created. It DOES seem to basically work, but much still needs to be done. Event handling is just enough to handling Command-Q, there is no audio, etc etc etc.

I was testing some wallpapers this weekend so I was adding files into /Library/Desktop Pictures over and over so they would show up in System Settings > Wallpaper.

However, I noticed that the files just don't get removed and added in the Systems Settings UI automatically. You have to actually quit System Settings for new items to show.

I feel like old Apple wouldn't have allowed this. That actually was one of the best things about #macOS -- listening for changes to a directory and updating.
