I am somewhat glad that there is a 3rd party that actively helps finding macOS issues.


We are yet to see for how long Apple is going to support their Apple Silicon machines, but this definitely sets a precedent for Apple. It would be really shameful if they go the iPhone route and cut support after 6 years of updates.

On the other hand, Apple is still selling the iMac with a 2020 chipset, so we could say that they look like they are committed to providing updates. I hope they wouldn't just cut off support in 3 years time.


Apple has typically supported Mac hardware for about 7 years from introduction for a while now. That is provided you're updating to the last supported version of macOS for it and then all security updates. I'd be surprised if they changed this much either way for Apple Silicon.

One issue is that Apple never tells you when they end of life a given version of macOS officially, so you're left guessing a bit.


Also, number and percent formats are important too. I've seen many 'professional' websites/software, that uses only a standart 100.0% format, where the decimal and the percent are not localised.


Next version will have greatly improved text capabilities.


Do you have any more details?


Needs a pager, otherwise looks great!


But please don't build a custom pager, but use $PAGER (unless this is supposed to turn into a full browser ...) so it works as expected (key bindings etc )


Indeed and it would be so much better to use termcap (eg through ncurses) instead of blasting ANSI codes without checking :) some of us still use terminals


It is one of the best editors out there that does not cost an arm and a leg to operate.


Since when does VSCode cost an arm and a leg to operate? Also saying it’s one of the best doesn’t explain why. I’m asking whether there is something distinctive about it.


Try running VS Studio with a Celeron and a gig of RAM


Ahh ok - so it’s good for low powered hardware. That’s a useful answer.

Edit: corrected ‘old’ to ‘low powered’.


Old hardware isn't the only low-powered hardware.


You can't make this up.


You are talking about "Tracker", the main GUI of Haiku. Read the user manual for all the niceties it has.


KDE is your friend. Customisable to the last bit.


They still do. Latest[1] from just a week ago.
