Yikes. I’ll be keeping a close eye on this.

I went all-in on uv a few months ago after watching the hype around it grow. It is indeed rather excellent, but it’s not excellent enough that I couldn’t/wouldn’t dump it if OpenAI start taking it in a creepy direction.

Python has always received a lot of shit for environment management, but I’ve never really had a problem with it. In fact, pre-uv I appreciated the explicitness of building and invoking the required version of Python, then using built-in tools and modules to create virtual environments and going from there.

What the feckity feck is this?

What’s “background” about it if I have to restart? And why is it in “Privacy & Security”? Why is it not just a regular software update? It might be “enhanced in a future software update” anyway?

Strong agree with everything on the Ageless Linux home page.

Q: What if the AG actually fines you?

Then we will have accomplished something no amount of mailing list discussion could: a court record establishing what AB 1043 actually means when applied to the real world. Does “operating system provider” cover a bash script? Does “general purpose computing device” cover a Raspberry Pi Pico? Can you fine someone “per affected child” when no mechanism exists to count affected children? These are questions the legislature left unanswered. We’d like answers. A fine would be the fastest way to get them.

Run Black, via uv, on the current file:

Sublime Text/Packages/User/Black.sublime-build:

{
    "selector": "source.python",
    "cmd": ["uvx", "black", "$file"]
}

Sadly, I see no reason to believe that Apple has suddenly started to care again about software quality. The new year-based operating system numbering scheme is an overt sign and painful reminder to me that Apple has no intention to end the self-enforced yearly major OS update release schedule that is a primary cause of Apple’s software quality problems.
