The battery was dying in my 2020-era MacBook Pro. Upgrade to fancy new M4 MacBook Pro.
Restore from backups? Perfect.
Apple Silicon. This means I need to reinstall *ALL* my Python interpreters, PyCharm, UV, Conda, etc., etc.
Right now, I'm waiting for PyCharm to index all the things so it can switch from my old conda-managed venvs to my new uv-managed venvs.
fun fact... #macOS has two japanese keyboards - 'kana' and 'romanji' and if you select/use kana you will get utter mindfuck in the morning that will go away after a bit of search and switching the layout to 'romanji' ^__^"
Hier hatte doch mal jemand ein Tool namens "Meine Ausweiskopie" benutzt und vorgestellt gab es das Tool auch in einer macOS-Version oder war das eine reine Linux-Geschichte? #FediHelp #MeineAusweiskopie #macOS #Linux
Adventures in #OpenBSD episode 0x3310fd:
"The M1 Macbook Can Run OpenBSD But Shouldn't"
So I was really quite proud that I managed to install (with some great help from @h3artbl33d) OpenBSD 7.7-current on my M1 MacBook Pro. Great stuff. Ran a bit sluggish, but it ran. Very happy to have been able to dual-boot...
...Until last night when I tried to install a MacOS system upgrade. Since then I have been stuck in a Recovery Mode boot loop. BSD won't boot either. It seems to me that the presence of U-Boot is confusing the delicate soul of #MacOS. In any case, at least I managed to boot to system rescue and am currently imaging my MacOS home folder and copying it over to an external disk (taking AGES). Then it's going to be a full-on DFU mode system restore with Reverend Madam's Macbook Air assisting. Then, unfortunately, I don't think I will be reinstalling PuffyOS on the M1. It can run it, but it seems like it shouldn't.
Still have some work to do making the new tab bar work well on older devices. Tomorrow, lets tackle that. See you then!

Interest in LibreOffice, the open-source alternative to Microsoft Office, is on the rise, with weekly downloads of its software package close to 1 million a week as users look to avoid subscription costs. That’s the highest download number since 2023. It works on Linux, macOS, Windows and Unix like systems. https://www.computerworld.com/article/3840480/libreoffice-downloads-on-the-rise-as-users-look-to-avoid-subscription-costs.html

Today on AppAddict - rclone - An Easy to Use and Powerful CLI - There are quite a few apps with GUIs available for Macs that let you connect various cloud services to upload, download and move files. Most of them are costly. Today I needed to move files from Google Drive to a kDrive, a cloud storage company in Switzerland, Instead of using... - https://appaddict.app/post/rclone-an-easy-to-use-and-powerful-cli - #Mac #macOS #Apple #AppAddict

Gotta love* folks who make apps for #MacOS (which is used primarily by people who are accustomed to one-click installation) that require #Terminal for installation and they don't even bother to include installation instructions. Because installation instructions are for pussies who don't know FOSS from floss, amirite?
HowTF do I stop the damned Microsoft SharePoint.app from repeatedly adding itself to my Mac's Login Items??
How is this acceptable??
From Linux to macOS: Embracing Open Source Everywhere
Open-source software is not restricted to Linux. While I spend most of my time reading, writing, and developing on Linux, I can also use many tools I love on macOS and Windows platforms. Last fall, after returning from All Things Open, I purchased an M3 MacBook Air because I wanted to experiment with some of the artificial intelligence applications I had seen at the conference in Raleigh.
As most of you know, Mac computers have a great supply of Apple-developed software, which works well for many folks. However, being a person who is used to the freedom afforded by open source, it didn’t take long before I had installed HomeBrew and then began installing my favorite open source applications.
The first app I installed was Ollama, which I used almost daily to experiment with locally run large language models. Ollama is available under the MIT license. Additionally, I experimented with Hollama, a minimal web user interface for Ollama, which also carries an MIT license. Apple Silicon processors, including the M1, M2, M3, and M4, provide excellent platforms for running locally hosted large language models.
Output from these LLMs is in Markdown, and several open-source Markdown editors are available for MacOS. I prefer MarkText on Linux, but I had trouble installing it on MacOS, so I opted instead for MacDown, a fine open-source Markdown editor easily installed on the Mac.
MacDown was easy to install:
kirimase 
brew install --cask macdownApple supplies its own word processor, spreadsheet, and presentation software, but I chose LibreOffice, which is my favorite. It is easily installed with HomeBrew, too. I also installed Joplin, my favorite cross-platform notetaking app. The world of open-source supplies all my needs.
I recently wrote about Krita and decided to install it on the M3 MacBook, too. It was easy to install with Homebrew. My experience with Krita led me to install Darktable, another open-source graphic program available on macOS. Both are easily installed with Homebrew.
% brew install --cask darktable % brew install --cask kritaGimp and Inkscape are my favorite open-source graphics programs. I regularly use both of them to modify images and create vector graphics. I use VSCodium when writing and learning more about Python code on the Mac.
I installed VideoLan (VLC) on the Mac too. VLC is a free and open-source cross-platform multimedia player and framework that plays most multimedia files.
II also installed DiffusionBee, which has allowed me to explore AI image creation on my desktop.
Completing my list of favorite open-source applications that can be installed and run locally is Bitwarden, my top choice for a password manager. I have been using Bitwarden for nearly six years now and highly recommend it.
All of these applications can be easily installed by downloading and installing the .dmg files or by using Homebrew from the command line. I prefer the latter as upgrading all the applications at once is much easier. The number of open source applications that run on macOS is quite lengthy. I have only shared the one that I use, but there are many more. I discovered a comprehensive list of them on Github.
