ugh I just tried running Bandcrash on a machine that didn't have my dev environment and apparently pyInstaller isn't actually bundling in all the shared libraries it's meant towell that sucks

it's gonna be a pain in the butt to figure out a fix for this, especially since it looks like even though I'm using a python.org Python binary it's trying to pull in stuff from homebrew, which is of course never going to be portable or multiarch

okay so as a temporary "fix" I uninstalled homebrew from one of my Macs and used that to do the build, completely free of /opt/homebrew taint. Hopefully that works.But the solution to "I want to build a binary that works on all Macs" should not be "own two Macs"

well anyway I uploaded a version of Bandcrash 0.7.0 built on my homebrew-free machine, and it at least runs on said homebrew-free machine

this feels like a situation where a virtual machine could possibly help. doesn't current macOS have some sort of fancy Virtualization Kit thingamajig?

they do and https://developer.apple.com/documentation/virtualization/running_macos_in_a_virtual_machine_on_apple_silicon seems to be a turnkey solution for what I need to do here, trying it out now

no that's silly. Surely there's a way to like. Make poetry/python/pyInstaller/etc. just not see /opt/homebrew when it runs?

okay thanks to the idea from @jesse to just remove homebrew from my path. This Makefile hack seems to have done the trick: https://github.com/fluffy-critter/bandcrash/commit/9ca043ad604baeedca10f043c1b4cfd4c5e7d1bc

which is good because like hell was I going to deal with booting up a vm just to run `make upload-mac`, I already have too many such environments for my Windows and Linux builds :P

pylint apparently disables the use of a variable named 'bar,' presumably to discourage naming things 'foo' and 'bar,' but in this case the thing I'm defining is a progress bar.

@clive I feel like there's two kinds of social media: the social media that people go to because It's What You Do, and the social media that people go to because it genuinely brings them joy. Mastodon and Cohost are definitely the latter, and the only ones I care about anymore.

man, ziprecruiter is pretty much useless as a jobseeking platform, at least for me. They're just constantly inundating me with dozens of irrelevant jobs based on trivial keyword matches that don't match my actual job-searching criteria, and apparently even *looking* at a job's full information signals the system that it's the sort of job I'm looking for or something? There's no way to say "no thanks" or to provide specific "don't recommend these jobs" feedback

@ifixcoinops Brother isn’t perfect but they’re the least bad these days. Which is sad.Some of their models are a little difficult to get running well on macOS because they no longer officially support recent macOS versions, but the older OS drivers install just fine, and even without supported drivers they have a (very crappy) app that sorta works.

I finally signed up for Nebula TV today after learning that it's creator-owned (despite a couple of objectionable plagiarists making their home there) and I'm kinda surprised, but ultimately in favor of, how there's no comments on videos.

@ClarusPlusPlus @itchio IIRC the checkboxes are really just for indicating whether the thing can be played in the app on a particular platform, and not for indicating what platform it's for per se. Which isn't to say that's how it *should* be, I agree that there should be categories for non-itchio-app platforms like DOS, NES, C64, OS/2, etc.
