Anyone can recommend a good Mail client for iOS and macOS? I really love to use Mail.app but I would like to try out new things. #ios#macos#productivity
While implementing the package previews, I ran across one state that Cork didn't have covered yet: when an app is already installed outside of Homebrew, and you try to install the Homebrew version.
Instead of getting stuck, you now get this status.
Today, I merged the basic support for Shortcuts into mainline Cork. After that, I decided to take on another challenge
I thought it would be cool to be able to see detailed info about a package before you install it. This feature actually used to be in Cork back in 2022! But I had to remove it… until now!
What software have you used on MacOS that you've had difficulty finding a good replacement for in Linux? Or that you have found a replacement you like?...
I've used #MacOS for my day-to-day work for a good 35yrs. I've had a couple of brief clusters of years where I had to use a Windows at work (but still had MacOS at home).
I've installed #Linux on many old machines to extend their lives a bit, sorting through distros, finding one that would work on limited resources with good results. Fun stuff.
But I'm curious to ask a QUESTION about new computer purchases…
Why is it so hard to have my Mac mini consistently appear on Finder via #ZeroConf#Bonjour? Half the time the computer isn’t visible, and there’s no amount of flushcache or killing mDNSResponder or Finder that brings it back. I wait many minutes with my Finder open and…it spontaneously comes back? WTF?
i have been asked to explain #Linux: it's a fork of #Google#Android intended for virtualized use on #Apple#macOS and #Microsoft#Windows desktops, although lately it's seen some uptake in datacenter applications
I have added a shortcut for refreshing packages. Next step, I'll see if I can add a separate button to Cork itself for only refreshing packages without updating them!
(also, does anyone know why Shortcuts is showing the key for each LocalizedStringResource instead of the actual string? 🤔 see pic #2 for code)
I noticed my disk storage went drastically low and I started to check system, then I realized something ( #macos update???) enabled iCloud Photos synchronization to my Mac (that can take all the storage it get, and for that very reason I didn't enable it on my mac)
To recap what I got working today in Cork (but I'm not promising that it's gonna be in the next release!):
Added three Shortcuts: Get installed Formulae, Casks or all Packages
"Get installed Formulae" allows you go only limit it to only manually installed packages. For some reason, doing this in the "Get installed Packages" crashes it even though it's the same system
there really aren't that many good looking #mastodon desktop clients sadly (outside of #macos but then they all look more or less the same because of #swiftui, not to say they don't look great)
The Affinity suite under #Bottles / Wine is still plagued with issues, unfortunately, so it’s dual-boot for me.
Software development isn’t cheap, and I imagine that there just aren’t enough Linux users to justify the expense of a port. I would gladly pay for a #Linux version, but that’s just me.
