<p>nothing from screen sharing goes off your machine, the only network data from Fazer is trial check and update check <a href="https://fazerwm.app/privacy/" rel="nofollow">https://fazerwm.app/privacy/</a><p>I can even explain why screen sharing is required:<p>if you programmatically move a window so that more than 50% of it overlaps onto an adjacent display the window will be displayed on the adjacent display instead of the desired one, FazerWM uses screen sharing to stream the part that should be visible where you expect it, while the actual window is parked offscreen, also for grabbing thumbnails of windows for Overview and Recent windows features.</p>

<p>Thanks! That would be greatly appreciated, if you download and install it you get full features for 14 days and I'll happily extend until there is any form of payment. I'm grappling with price point (and if it's maybe better just to make it donation ware in the age of AI) and having testers be able to give feedback will be very helpful you can either join the Discord or contact me via email in my about text. I'd love to be able to do a video call while you install if that was possible</p>

<p>I’ve been developing FazerWM which is a Mac window manager inspired by Niri, I’m still grappling with if I should make it paid or donation ware, it’s taken over 9 months of development <a href="https://fazerwm.app" rel="nofollow">https://fazerwm.app</a></p>

<p>In 2012 I forked QLColorCode, a Quick Look plugin, to add the Drupal file types I worked with every day at the time. I kept that fork going for about a decade. Apple deprecated the whole .qlgenerator format that used some time ago. On current macOS the old code previewer just doesn't load, and you can't port it either as it colored code by shelling out to external tools, while the modern replacement (Quick Look app extensions) runs in a sandbox that won't let you spawn anything.<p>So this is a rewrite in Objective-C with its own highlighter using per-language compiled regexes running inside the extension's sandbox, no external processes. A 2 MB Objective-C file highlights in about 140 ms end to end, so space-bar preview still stays snappy.<p>It covers 51 languages (130+ filetypes) out of the box. Font, themes, line numbers and extension-to-language overrides are configurable in the app, and settings reach the sandboxed extension through a shared defaults domain.<p>Builds are universal but I've only tested on Apple Silicon, and macOS 12 is the floor. Install is available via Homebrew or direct download.<p>Development was AI assisted as most are now, I made all the decisions and spent time specifically optimizing for performance. I don't think it's too sloppy, and is working very well for me at least.<p>I care about privacy, so It doesn't phone home at all, the only stats I get are from Github's download counts.<p>The source is on GitHub under the MIT license.</p>

<p>FFS ruining it for ppl that are old enough as well. I really wanted to try this out :/<p>Access Restricted for Australian Visitors
As of March 16, 2026, Civitai is no longer accessible to users in Australia.<p>This is due to Australia's Age-Restricted Material Codes, registered under the Online Safety Act and enforced by the eSafety Commissioner. These codes require platforms that host user-generated content — including AI-generated imagery — to implement age verification measures such as facial age estimation, digital identity wallets, or photo identification checks before allowing access to age-restricted material. Simple self-declaration of age is no longer considered sufficient. Non-compliance carries civil penalties of up to AUD $49.5 million per breach.</p>
