@ccgus any chance they’re using Kotlin in there? Java class names could be part of a runtime, I’ve never used it though. https://kotlinlang.org/docs/multiplatform/multiplatform-integrate-in-existing-app.html

@brunty@brunty.social EXACTLY THIS.
I’ve installed Outlook on my phone as there’s no way to make my main calendar available in Apple’s Calendar app (because SeCurItY), and now even Outlook is useless for this shared calendar. The entire MS suite needs new management, and also nuking from orbit. But then our IT dept also need to relax the reins a bit on ludicrous policies.
@siracusa@mastodon.social I agree with your assessment that Xcode previews are crashing because it’s buggy. I was bashing my head against that same wall this week. Some views work, some don’t. Some previews of a view work, while different data in the same view crashes.
This Stack Overflow post appears to be correct, I haven’t crashed since: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/79813033/swiftui-preview-not-working-in-xcode-26-when-automatically-refresh-canvas-is-e
Hugely frustrating to have previews snatched from my hands.

@jessamyn@glammr.us @snarkout@zirk.us oof, glad to have the functionality back, but *my eyes* is that ugly!

Follow-up: I could write my own calendar sync tool using PowerAutomate (or Azure Logic Apps which seems to be the exact same feature set but a separate incompatible product)… except for the fact that making an HTTP request is a “premium” feature so I’d have to do something insane like email as a transport mechanism.
AAAAARRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHHH

@overcastfm@mastodon.social worth noting I misspoke in the recording around 31s, “the podcast and episode I was listening to are forgotten” - not “listening to”, I mean the one I want to listen to.

@brunty nice! I have the older one, it’s been really solid. Mostly just shows calendar and weather info, I didn’t really have a task for it in mind, just a cool toy.
Shame the founder is… not great.

@b3ll real-life opposite example;
Me: “if I use X, will Y data be safe?”
Agent: “yes, X will ignore data it isn’t aware of”
X: “DROP TABLE Y”
This smells an awful lot like SonarQube’s analysis to me. Sometimes it finds things we should fix, but most of the time it’s alerting about harmless stuff and telling us we have to change it. Change for the sake of appeasing an incorrect tool isn’t a good use of engineer time.
Fell asleep after putting our kid to bed last night, woke up for a bit intending to do stuff, fell back asleep. Woke at around 04:00 with my keys digging into my leg so actually got changed…
Still woke up feeling exhausted, having had around 13h of in-bed time.
This is why I normally stay up stupid late; if I’m going to feel like shit either way, might as well stay up and get things done or have some fun or whatever.
Aaaaaaaaand I’ve broken my big toe. 😂😭

@brunty@brunty.social looks like there’s been some scrubbing of his website, I’m finding dead links. Summary is https://nileane.fr/@nileane/116285187367675480

@brunty@brunty.social playing in the park with our kid! Tripped over an obstacle while running full tilt. Feeling pretty daft now.

@nixCraft@mastodon.social the list started with such trivial examples I thought “this can’t be too bad”, but then we turned the corner!
Golden Gate feels less buggy than the previous release in my usage, but GG has one ENORMOUS bug where the lock screen refuses to show any log in UI sometimes. I have to power-cycle the machine to get in. Infuriating.

@siracusa@mastodon.social ah, I didn't even spot the permissions stuff, the "Automatically Refresh Canvas" option was the secret sauce for me. Sounded absurd, but I've learned to try _any_ suggestion when it comes to Xcode. Not durable, but as a temporary reprieve it'll do for now, and I've not had a preview crash since (it's only been ~24h).
