Looks like Apple deprecated developer disk images. Now debugserver is already shipped with the system in /usr/libexec/debugserver

We are pleased to announce that the U.S. Court of Appeals has further upheld the initial court’s ruling of copyright fair use in Corellium’s favor. This is a big win for the security community and technology innovators. news.bloomberglaw.com/ip-law/apple-f

Remember how Apple wanted to buy Corellium, and even offered $23M, but Corellium tried to negotiate more, so instead Apple just sued Corellium and tried to destroy the company? But Corellium was like f that & fought back... Apple officially lost their retaliatory lawsuit today.

My son needs antibiotics, but I had to call 10 pharmacies to find it. It can't be ordered currently, so you have to be lucky that a pharmacy just has it. This is in the 2nd largest city in Germany, I wonder how bad it must be on the countryside...

Ok I think I found the solution to the problem myself: Since libimobiledevice-glue needs to be updated (so it can also finally have a release too), all other projects need to be updated too, and they will just depend on latest libplist then. Problem solved I guess :)

So I am working on some final changes for a #libplist release. I added several new functions to the interface, see my latest commit: github.com/libimobiledevi - I am also adding a plist_read_from_file helper, that will return the parsed format in its 4th argument (1/2)

There is alread a plist_from_memory function, but it doesn't return the parsed format, and it's used everywhere 🙈 Now, do I just change the prototype to add an argument, breaking old code, or add a new function? If so, suggestions for names? kthxbye (2/2)

Why do people build UIs that call shell commands and write the output to a file, then read the file to process the results when a perfectly fine API is available to do it directly? AHHHHHHHHHH
