Steven G. HarmsThis midnight I was thinking to install <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/GNUstep" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GNUstep</a> on <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/freebsd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#freebsd</a> and it was really disappointing.The BSD `pkg` lists have one pkg for Foundation, one for back end, one for front end, and a few others. I’m not sure what i need and the instructions on the site don’t make it clear what I have to have and in what order I have to have it — it was a “too soon” moment from <a href="https://infosec.exchange/@david_chisnall" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@david_chisnall</a> ‘s post from earlier today [1].Going to the instructions, I found their magic `curl` pipe to `bash` (don’t have bash on BSD, but le sigh) and I looked at it: it was going to download several repos, tested that I had bash, tested that I had `sudo` (wait, what? Why?). Ctrl+D. I love Objective-C so much and miss Aqua so hard, but god-dam this is unfriendly[2].If any <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/bsd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bsd</a> people have this working, let me know.DEVS: MAKE IT EASY for me to get started. Half the reason React has been so successful (and Rails before it) is because getting started was EASY.[1]: <a href="https://infosec.exchange/@david_chisnall/114406142123234529" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://infosec.exchange/@david_chisnall/114406142123234529</a> [2]: <a href="https://stevengharms.com/posts/2025-01-04-return-of-aqua/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://stevengharms.com/posts/2025-01-04-return-of-aqua/</a>

David Chisnall (*Now with 50% more sarcasm!*)Sometimes being an open-source maintainer is nice. I haven't done paid consulting for the GNUstep Objective-C Runtime for ages (I wasn't doing enough for it to be worth the tax effort and I'm not always able to commit to doing things in a sufficiently timely fashion to set up the expectations that being paid creates), so I added a note a while ago telling people to <a href="https://www.murrayedwards.cam.ac.uk/support-us" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">donate to Murray Edwards</a> if they find the project useful. Last week, I got the following email from the nice folks at <a href="https://www.algoriddim.com" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Algoriddim</a> saying (abridged):<blockquote>I just wanted to drop you a note to let you know that we appreciate your continued work on the GNUstep runtime, and that we’ve made another donation to Murray Edwards to support women in computer science.</blockquote>Always nice to see things being paid forwards. <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/GNUstep" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GNUstep</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/ObjectiveC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ObjectiveC</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/WomenInTech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WomenInTech</a>

Matthew SparbyI want a proper ANSI color terminal for NeXT computers. The only apps from back in the day are lost to the sands of time. I contacted the author of one and he is no longer able to generate license codes, rendering it useless.I think the best option would be to backport the Terminal app from GNUstep but my rudimentary programming skills wouldn't even get me started. I know there are others who would like such a thing. Maybe we could pitch in and pay a professional to do it. But how would we find such a person?<a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/VintageComputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#VintageComputing</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/RetroComputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RetroComputing</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/NeXTstep" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NeXTstep</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/OpenStep" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OpenStep</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/ObjectiveC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ObjectiveC</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/GNUstep" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GNUstep</a>

Studio 8502 :verified:I have just accepted an invitation to officially join the GNUstep project's Github as a member with merge access -- and in so doing, I have now merged my changes upstream, adding the hooks for Agora into the official GNUstep <code>libs-gui</code>. So I'm putting aside all my DOS playtime for now, and will be focusing on cleaning up the Agora codebase and making it work with the upstream libs-gui Git repo -- and then I can start work on the vector implementation of the Argentum theme, which, if you recall this design mockup, is really pretty, in my very biased opinion.<a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/programming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#programming</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#linux</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/unix" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#unix</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/freebsd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#freebsd</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/openbsd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#openbsd</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/netbsd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#netbsd</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/gnustep" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gnustep</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/agora" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#agora</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/openstep" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#openstep</a>
