Oolite Bulletins

Update: Winston is aware but not able to fix anything before Monday

I found his email address and informed him just now.

Very encouraging results, thank you for putting in your time!

Yes, Sparkle is Mac-specific. It (used to be) used for automated updates of applications. In the interest of simplicity I would probably remove this dependency if I were a Mac developer.

I just tried your latest build on my M1-based MacBook Air. No luck either I'm afraid: Opening log for Oolite version 1.91 (x86-64 test release) under Mac OS X Version 14.5 (Build 23F79) at 2024-07-10 17:32:47 +0000.

Thank you for picking this up! I have not done anything else on it because at the time, I could not expose more data externally in a reliable way. I wish I had the time to contribute but unfortunately don't. Very interesting to have the MQTT bridge included in your Oolite Starter! Macs & iphones...

Thank you for attempting to build for Mac! I tried running it on my MacBook Air with the M1 CPU on macOS Sonoma 14.5, but received the same exception.

Here's a contentious one... Does The Blue Danube date Oolite?

It dates Elite, IIRC my C=64 was playing it when using a docking computer.

So, rxke has access to the folder on my box.com, and I have no idea if I ever published the link, but here it is: https://app.box.com/shared/r10e0dqufr

But AFAIK Oolite is distributed as DMG for the Apple Mac. How does that work? Is that build getting signed? As far as I can tell, no, it is not signed. Requiring code signatures for every app out there would seem rather draconian to me, even for Apple. Maybe it is only some app types (Java apps inc...

$1015? WTF? Madness!

Indeed! For sure no sniping attempt from me at this level anymore

Damn my old eyes! I keep reading this as the Getaway Device!

I keep thinking of the Heechee saga from Frederik Pohl, one of the books is called „Gateway“. [i know this belongs to fiction…]

Of course, if the community acted as one, it would be possible to make a high bid,
but really don't want to feed the f@$%n cybersquatters...

Quite.

If it comes to 'us' making a bid then I'd chip in. I'm not committing to an amount but it'd be something.

How could we achieve pooling?

I did not place a bid yet but set an alarm for the current end of auction so I can. I don’t trust these domain bidding platforms enough to already now disclose interest by placing a bid early.
