Apple changes Full Disk Access permission in macOS
Apple's macOS has a Full Disk Access permission, designed to allow backup applications full access to, well, the disk, so they can perform their job properly. Apple posted a notice on its website that it's going to further restrict this permission, because some applications were abusing this permission to gain access to users' messages,

Bit disappointing.
Upgraded pkgsrc macOS build host from 14.x to 27.0.1, and MacFUSE to latest.
First run is showing consistently slower builds.
bindfs CPU usage seems higher, but I don't have accurate numbers on that. Also there is still the 2 minute delay to unmount /System.
Maybe next year?
The Mac Studio M5 Ultra can't give a proper Logic Pro X graph, because software wise Logic Pro is limited by 1000 concurrent tracks. 😱😂

I remembered today I had Haskell for Mac http://haskellformac.com installed and started it after a long time. It hasn't been updated in ca. 5 years and is Intel/Rosetta only. The website doesn't have SSL, the support website http://support.hfm.io doesn't exist anymore. So it's probably abandoned. It's still in the App Store, though.
Anyone still using it, or know if it's maintained? And what do you use to play around with Haskell on a Mac these days?
“macOS Golden Gate is a buggy mess”
In June 2008 Apple announced Mac OS X Snow Leopard, proudly boasting that it would have "no new features". Instead of piling on new things, Snow Leopard aimed to build on the success of its predecessor, Leopard, opting to focus on under-the-hood performance and stability improvements throughout the system.
18 years later, Apple is taking a similar approach with

In the spirit of advocating for more native Mac Development, HIG topics, etc., I wanted to share (early) my upcoming app: Address Book.
It uses the Contacts API on Mac so it keeps everything in sync with your Contacts across your Apple devices — it’s just a new UI for macOS. One that works.
You’ll notice that this app isn’t trying to be “an experience” but more of a practical tool you can rely on. One that “just works.”
It is unapologetically “Macintosh.” Coming Soon.

I'm happy to report that MacOS 27 Golden Gate seems to run stable 24/7 on my Mac Mini M4 server. However there's not a lot installed on there.
I have decided not to upgrade my production machine YET. There's limited information available about audio plugin compatibility. Moreover Ableton Live doesn't seem to be officially supported yet.

boostedCaveat: if you are updating to #macOS 27 there is this lovely fscking Apple Stupidity "feature" which starts quantising *all your disk* so that Spotlight can give you "better answers".
It has been going for over 24hrs for me and it is at 7.1% … the I/O is floored and you simply cannot run any I/O intensive tasks (e.g. Parallels).
To find out the state of affairs you can use:
plutil -extract SpotlightKnowledgeV2.embeddingGenComplete raw ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.spotlightknowledge.plist | awk '{printf "%.1f%%\n", $1 * 100}'
Whoever at #Apple thought this is up is a complete and utter cretin, especially because it is clearly running with a high priority and takes over all disk I/O.
I still have not found a way to stop it so I can actually do some work.
Update: figured out a fix… note that it blocks Apple Stupidity as a side-effect:

Looking forward to today's release o MacOS 27 Golden Gate. I honestly haven't been this excited about a new MacOS update for over a decade and I am considering a day 1 upgrade over my current Mac OS 15.7.9 Sequoia installation.
I have been testing Golden Gate earlier on an old Macbook Air M1 and it felt very polished, efficient. While I hated Tahoe and therefore never upgraded to it, I think Liquid Glass has been improved to the point that I'm ready to embrace it.

Hazel is one of those indispensable apps that sits quietly on my Mac, renaming files based on their contents (e.g. reading PDFs in my Downloads folder, and renaming it “power bill” if it has my power utility customer number in it, and also prepending the date it was issued, again read from the PDF) and filing them accordingly. So useful. #macOS #Utility
