no this is not possible because apple stops signing older versions soon after they release the latest.

No, that's a separate issue. You can upgrade a M4 or earlier machine from 15.6 to 15.7 even today, despite 26.0 being out for a while, so Apple's still signing a 15.x release at the same time as they're offering 26.x releases. (You likely won't be able to downgrade from 15.7 back to 15.6.)

Downgrading a M5 machine to 15.x would be impossible not because of a signing issue but because Apple never released a 15.x build that supported M5 hardware.

you have to start somewhere, and with Goggle closing Android to non-approved apps this seems like the right move.

I need the ability to run the current file with a shell script / program. Like Vim offers with :!whatever %

Last time I checked Helix did not offer this. Has this changed?

These have been available since mid-2022:

  :insert-output Run shell command, inserting output before each selection.
  :append-output Run shell command, appending output after each selection.
  :pipe, :| Pipe each selection to the shell command.
  :pipe-to Pipe each selection to the shell command, ignoring output.
  :run-shell-command, :sh, :! Run a shell command

The placeholder for the current file is %{buffer_name} (not as bad as it looks, the command line has tab completion for basically everything).

you mean like stop using GitHub?

Yes.

For private repos there is Forgejo, Gitea and Gitlab.

For open-source: Codeberg

Yes, it'll make projects harder to discover, because you can't assume that "everything is on github" anymore. But it is a small price to pay for dignity.

Why not put open-source projects on Gitlab?

You can't create new account on Gitlab without a credit card (outside of EU and USA).

Yes, that too.

look at that "remote commander" at around 6min45, beautiful! I would love to have such a console instead of the current remote control sticks we have with modern tv's. maybe could be a nice project do build...

nice little game!

agree this would make a nice accessibility setting in browsers. or maybe there exists a browser extension?

Why do people need to be surveilled in the first place? Is Britain so full of offenders?

Colonial/empire mentality. It always comes home to roost, and the people are always surprised when it does.

that's a very political question you pose here

who cares?

No, but also yes in the sense that we don't even know how many people are in the country and it's much easier to make things worse for everyone else than actually confront what has happened to the nation

speakers should ideally look down the long way of the room...
