Daigoro Toyama 🌸<p>I spent a few hours dealing with the problem of <a href="https://sakurajima.social/tags/VSCode" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#VSCode</a> giving me a "syntax error" message when I manually entered a struct member variable in the Watch window (i.e. "ctx-&gt;id"). As it turned out, it was an issue with the <a href="https://sakurajima.social/tags/CodeLLDB" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CodeLLDB</a> extension. I switched to Microsoft's C/C++ extension ("cppdbg") and set "MIMode" to "lldb" so it used lldb instead of gdb. That fixed it. Note: this is on <a href="https://sakurajima.social/tags/macOS" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#macOS</a>.</p>
Frank Filippone<p>Well this is an “interesting” user interface design decision by <a href="https://aus.social/tags/apple" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>apple</span></a> in their latest updates to <a href="https://aus.social/tags/macOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>macOS</span></a> 15.4 and <a href="https://aus.social/tags/iOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>iOS</span></a> 18.4.</p><p>They will enable automatic updates for the OS unless you very carefully read the last “update completed" message and don't click/tap the enticing “continue” button but instead click on the less enticing “only download automatically" option.</p><p>Feels a bit disingenuous to me.</p>

Geoff Duncan<p>Another thing I dislike about the "modern" macOS is how it reports available storage. For about a month and a half I've been concerned I was seriously running out of disk space, because Finder windows were reporting less than 25GB available. Fine, fine, I'll archive off a bunch of things I don't need right now, that should free up at least 80GB…</p><p>I did that, and the amount of available storage reported in Finder windows increased to…30GB.</p><p>The weirdness is because macOS reports considers "purgeable" items to count against available storage. These can be things like log files, software update downloads, swap space, Apple stuff you can re-download later, device backups, document versions, etc. You can see how much storage is purgeable in Disk Utility (if you look carefully), but not in the Finder. Not ANYWHERE in the Finder.</p><p>Anyway: turns out updating macOS is one of those times Apple clears out some purgeable stuff. Guess what? Finder now reports I have 280GB free…and Disk Utility says there's still over 180GB that's purgeable. </p><p>Think different, indeed.</p><p><a href="https://mindly.social/tags/macOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>macOS</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/apple" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>apple</span></a></p>

Daigoro Toyama 🌸<p>It's super annoying that <a href="https://sakurajima.social/tags/macOS" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#macOS</a> has much, much fewer customization options than <a href="https://sakurajima.social/tags/KDE" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#KDE</a> Plasma.
