@richarddodd:matrix.orgricharddodd joined the room.14:16:38
@niklaskorz:matrix.orgniklaskorzHm I can't actually see any custom darwin linker settings upstream...15:55:26
8 Jun 2026
@niklaskorz:matrix.orgniklaskorzWe're not overriding the linker, upstream isn't either, so my assumption is we are already linking with ld64 and upstream might be linking with Apple's proprietary linker (ld-prime) although I have no insight in what macOS and Xcode version their Github actions runner is using.09:26:25
@niklaskorz:matrix.orgniklaskorzThey have a custom runner from namespace.so and it's only referenced as "namespace-profile-mac-large"09:27:29
@niklaskorz:matrix.orgniklaskorzbut I now see their own in-repo nix derivation explicitly sets lld as linker on darwin because of the same error 🙃09:29:17
@niklaskorz:matrix.orgniklaskorzhttps://github.com/zed-industries/zed/blob/88e5c6d2faad2a556deb3250357df6f720b7fb3c/nix/build.nix#L253-L25709:29:24
@reckenrode:matrix.orgRandy EckenrodeIf upstream is using LLD, that seems the way to go. We're matching how they build on Darwin, and we’re not doing something LLVM says is not supported very well.10:32:07
@niklaskorz:matrix.orgniklaskorzUnderstood, thank you!11:04:57
@reckenrode:matrix.orgRandy EckenrodeBoo. Apple almost announced macOS 27 would have no name. I wish that were true.17:06:00
@samasaur:matrix.orgsamasaur ooh they've "rebuilt search" including how spotlight works 17:14:53
@samasaur:matrix.orgsamasauryaaay, we get to check whether symlinked apps in /Applications work, again...17:15:17
@reckenrode:matrix.orgRandy EckenrodeThe new search UI is okay-ish, but half the time it doesn’t have what I want even though I know it’s there. I hope they’ve really fixed that.17:15:19
@reckenrode:matrix.orgRandy EckenrodeAre they mixing updates between all the platforms together? The Liquid Glass updates for macOS looked like a step in the right direction, but I want to see more of that not iOS stuff.17:16:29
@reckenrode:matrix.orgRandy EckenrodeI especially don’t care about visionOS.17:16:38
@samasaur:matrix.orgsamasaurSeems like they might be mixing everything together because they don't have a bunch of platform-specific new features to show17:21:22
@reckenrode:matrix.orgRandy EckenrodeI don’t mind if they go over every single window in macOS showing how it no longer looks as crappy.17:22:04
@reckenrode:matrix.orgRandy EckenrodeI also wouldn’t mind a surprise feature like surprise jails/zones/containers. Snow Leopard got GCD in spite of being a “performance” release.17:25:58
@reckenrode:matrix.orgRandy Eckenrode(I’m aware that’s some serious wishful thinking.)17:26:47
@niklaskorz:matrix.orgniklaskorz Fingers crossed for the platforms state of the union then 17:32:51
@reckenrode:matrix.orgRandy EckenrodeApple Intelligence will use Spotlight. Is that new?17:33:49
@reckenrode:matrix.orgRandy EckenrodeThey also talked about a new scheduler, which is pretty wild for the keynote. Definitely want to watch the platform SotU.17:34:24
@samasaur:matrix.orgsamasaurI mean given that they're redoing spotlight it seems like maybe they built it for Siri and extended it to use for spotlight17:34:44
@reckenrode:matrix.orgRandy EckenrodeMaybe there will be some way to make it see into the store now ….17:35:08
@samemrecebi:vivius.iosamemrecebiHey siri where is the nix store?17:38:06
@reckenrode:matrix.orgRandy EckenrodeI hope they have an option to keep Siri sounding like a robot.17:39:26
@reckenrode:matrix.orgRandy Eckenrode“I found this volume taking up 200 GiB of space. I deleted it for you.”17:39:48
@ihar.hrachyshka:matrix.orgIhar HrachyshkaWhen is platform sotu?18:18:03
@reckenrode:matrix.orgRandy Eckenrode1:00 PM PDT18:22:12
@niklaskorz:matrix.orgniklaskorz 8:00 PM UTC for the lazy Europeans 18:44:56
@niklaskorz:matrix.orgniklaskorz(I'm a lazy European)18:45:31
