Can I just say fuck this latest XCode release? Every single project I work on is breaking in some weird-ass way because of it. Currently trying to figure out why qmake has decided to hork up a hairball on building SquareDesk.

I currently have a 2018 MacBook Pro with a battery replacement as my personal laptop, and I'm using Logic Pro occasionally, and though that's absolutely a nadir of Apple hardware, but doesn't run Linux really well because touchbar, I've been having a lot of trouble justifying a Linux laptop.
But 100% yes. I miss Claws mail. I miss real package management. I miss builds that just work.

I miss having git bisect being a useful tool. Given how often Apple breaks, well, everything, most of my git bisect time is "ok, how do I work around this missing symbol, or xcode trying to link with the wrong thing on the wrong platform.

Yeah, unfortunately XCode and the compiler on this platform are tightly linked.
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
