 samasaur | oh yeah you've mentioned doing that before! | 18:46:55 |
| samasaur | i am very excited to help out with that | 18:47:05 |

 ivy | what the hell my shit is straight up seg faulting | 09:24:05 |
 Randy Eckenrode | I just used the Music app on macOS for the first time. The window is small, so I tried to resize it. I wanted to see more albums, but it made the albums bigger instead (while slowing showing more). WHY WOULD IT DO THAT | 17:49:43 |

 Arian | Apple Music is everything wrong with modern apple | 18:00:37 |
| Arian | they killed a beautiful thing (iTunes) and replaced it with web-slop | 18:00:49 |
| Randy Eckenrode | It also seems to have forgotten all my settings. I had cross-fade turned off, but it turned back on. It also disabled lossless playback. Dammit, CDs were lossless in the ’90s. Let me at least have that back, sort-of. | 18:02:18 |
| Randy Eckenrode | I’m finding the UI changes in macOS 26 are often almost okay, but then you stumble over something that is total dogshit (with apologies to dog shit). | 18:05:28 |
| Randy Eckenrode | I don’t like the icons in menus though. It’s like Linux got into my menubar. | 18:05:44 |
 spewdins | I just wanna let you know this is a solved issue if you disable sip and install my tweaks | 18:06:18 |
| Randy Eckenrode | I’m not going to disable SIP. | 18:06:35 |
| spewdins | I’ve been trying to package ammonia i jector to nix for like 1 whole year
But I need Frida-Core with Frida Gum and that thing is a monster | 18:07:05 |
| spewdins | Fair | 18:07:36 |
 emily | disabling transparency still basically cured me of my Tahoe hate | 18:17:06 |
| emily | it's worse, but normal Apple levels of worse-over-time | 18:17:15 |
 tavinator | is this a good channel for installer (on macos) questions? | 19:41:55 |
| tavinator | in particular can anyone confirm that something like NIX_USER_COUNT works? (env var) | 19:42:22 |
| tavinator | for context - i have seen that by default the installer creates 32 build users... i would like to reduce this to a number like 1 or maybe 2 | 19:46:58 |
| emily | having only 1-2 build users will prevent you from running more than 1-2 builds at once | 20:40:31 |
|  Adam Olczak joined the room. | 21:36:14 |
| tavinator | emily: i'm totally fine with that... do you know if the env var works? i'm not super confident about completely erasing the existing install on my macbook to test this. but i want to have a battle plan for when i try to convince 10-20 devs in my org to install this thing. | 21:48:03 |
| emily | not sure. I don't use the official installer on macOS. | 21:48:37 |
| emily | I believe the Lix and DetSys installers both have a command-line parameter for the number of users. | 21:48:47 |
| emily | out of curiosity, why is the number of users an issue? UID collisions? | 21:48:58 |
| tavinator | being asked by management software whether you really want to execute that sudo command | 21:49:20 |
| tavinator | every single sudo command | 21:49:24 |
| tavinator | also uid collisions but i know how to solve that one | 21:49:56 |
| emily | ah. well if you use one of the other installers it will only do one sudo. | 21:53:50 |
| emily | and also support uninstalls and other things like that. | 21:53:55 |
