There is a ruby 2.6 installed in /usr/bin/ on my Mac...

... and I have NO fucking idea where it came from and I am not allowed to get rid of it.

What in the fucking world??

Björkus "No time_t to Die" Dorkus @ThePhD7/31/2024, 5:51 PM

Turns out it comes with MacOS and ...

... it's built-in and I can't remove it and its also at the top of everything so it's time to hack my .zshrc and my paths to make sure it NEVER finds this old crap garbage ever again.

This also reminds me I need to change my blog tech already and stop using goddamn Jekyll.

What the fuck??

Apple does things a little differently so it's best to be aware of this. Specifically, Terminal initially opens both a login and interactive shell even though you don't authenticate (enter login credentials).

What the fuck is going on at AppleHQ.

And then it STOPS being both a login and interactive shell, and is only considered one and not both!

This means I need to make a .zprofile with the same contents as my .zshrc??

I feel like dealing with OS installations of Ruby on Macs is a significant part of the initial appeal of development VMs

It's always been there and you've only just noticed it! I'm impressed that they've been security patching an EOL version all this time tho...

At least on OS X, it was not possible to disable it or override with a new version because programs did actually use it and break without the system copy.

There used to be an old PHP version in there too.

I thought you'd already moved to hugo ages ago 😭

I used your blog's layout as a basis for my old design but converted it to Hugo actually 😔

Björkus "No time_t to Die" Dorkus @ThePhD7/31/2024, 6:04 PM

I switched to Hugo for some other work, but have had no tolerance for fixing my own awful dogshit

how many times do I need to bap you with a newspaper to accept help from other people >:(

Björkus "No time_t to Die" Dorkus @ThePhD7/31/2024, 7:39 PM

Nobody is going to rewrite my blog, lmao. And it would be insane of me to expect them to, and also keep the links working, and the embedded standards papers, and etc. etc.

It's fine, it's still functional right now.

you could call one from the other, i think

Misty @dog7/31/2024, 6:31 PM

I've always wondered about this. I don't have access to NeXTStep and didn't find anything in its manual, I wonder if it dates back to those days?

@dgelessus7/31/2024, 8:37 PM

And then it STOPS being both a login and interactive shell, and is only considered one and not both!

uh, it shouldn't? According to the flags from echo "$-", the zsh process in a new Terminal.app window is both an interactive (i) and login (l) shell.

This means I need to make a .zprofile with the same contents as my .zshrc??

.zshrc gets run for all interactive zsh shells, regardless of whether it's a login shell, according to all documentation I can find... If .zprofile exists, it gets run for login shells in addition to .zshrc. It was bash where you have to manually source .bashrc from .bash_profile, if I remember correctly.
