Sleepyhead question for Mac users only

[Hopeful50]

Anyone using Sleepyhead with MacOS 10.14 Mojave? My Mac laptop keeps reminding me to upgrade from 10.13 High Sierra, but I want to make sure first that Sleepyhead will still work. If you've been successful (or not) I'd appreciate hearing your experience. Thanks!

If it doesn't, the soon to be out OSCAR will.

If the 1.1 test build works for you, I can confirm it runs on Mojave (I just downloaded and retested it then): Link to 1.1 downloads is on SleepyHead's official page: https://sleepyhead.jedimark.net

I can't really speak for the the photocopy the grouches at AB are attempting off the old codebase, there's still major problems with the old database that need to be sorted out. I have serious doubts they are capable grasping why the heck fixing that was so important, let alone able to pull it off, they really didn't want to listen to the guy who wrote the code. Good luck to them nonetheless, at least they finally figured out how to pull off a fork without being complete a-holes about it.

The good news is there is an official reboot carrying on from SleepyHead's legacy under serious consideration, with a new name and spirit, and much bigger and better goals to benefit sleep disorder patients as well as help advance sleep research, backed by some pretty awesome talent and a knowledge pool of sleep research insiders, along with my CPAP hacking and programming expertise thrown into the mix.

How that reboot idea plays out kinda depends on how the community reacts to the idea of me continuing. I'm the one that still needs a little convincing... Show me some love and the plan gets kicked into high gear, give me shit and I walk away for good. (It's already pretty much guaranteed Palerider will totally be childish jerk about it, but his opinion doesn't count.)

For the rest of you, this point is literally choose your own adventure:
If you want to see that phoenix rise up anew a thousand times stronger than ever before with an army behind it, turn up the love.
If not, all you're gonna get is the grouchy old xerox that literally came out of my garbage bin.

By the way, happy official 8th Birthday to SleepyHead (wait... SleepyDead?) today. It's a darn shame everyone didn't get the 8th birthday surprise I was really hoping to pull off before all this started, but when those plans got thoroughly shot down and I instead spent February collecting home addresses of everybody I wanted to destroy for trashing my plans... (I'M KIDDING OF COURSE! I was too busy drinking... )

Sleep Well,
Jedimark.

Anyone using Sleepyhead with MacOS 10.14 Mojave?

I can confirm that SleepyHead v1.0.0 and v1.1.0 both work under Mojave 10.14.3

It's a darn shame everyone didn't get the 8th birthday surprise I was really hoping to pull off before all this started, but when those plans got thoroughly shot down and I instead spent February collecting home addresses of everybody I wanted to destroy for trashing my plans...

The fact that you posted YOU'RE KIDDING OF COURSE, does not diminish how scary that sentiment is. Especially when combined with your erratic behaviour, angry words and drinking claims.

Interesting choice, considering how you've repeatedly killed off all community cooperation over the years.

Perhaps you should choose a more stable mascot.

Dark humour, not everyone gets it.. and your point it being scary is acknowledged, I've probably been watching waaaay too much stand up comedy lately. There was no malice or seriousness at all intended by that joke. I'm also quite aware that absolutely anything I say gets twisted by the ridiculous biases against me.

Anger tends to happen when a person is ripped to shreds for defending one's own work from those who've for a long period of time unfairly tried to take advantage of it. Nothing I said previously was unfair, untrue, or even undeserved. Perhaps not worded the best, I'm a coder, who had a right to be severely pissed over what was going on, I'm not a linguistic master.

Reality called, and was wondering when you were coming back for a visit.

No, quite fitting considering the ridiculous amount of flaming going on. As I said your opinion doesn't count and is entirely unwelcome considering you can't be blocked by primitive forum interface here.

SleepyHead was a privately managed and funded project (much like Google Chrome or Android). It being Free and Open Source Software didn't automatically imply community ownership or any kind of communist/socialist ideology behind it. The ridiculous negativity that exists towards me surrounding this only exists because people like you severely misunderstood this. Being privately managed didn't imply it was morally wrong to ask for or accept assistance or donations from the community. I could have still done all that if the entire project was private like many other application developers before me, I chose to open the code it so it could have a legacy when my vision was complete.

I was under no obligation to continue accepting "help" from people who continually made ridiculously unfairly demands of my time and resources, nor that of those who repeated efforts to undermine the project for personal gain, or literally made attempts to outright attack my work under a guise of trying to offer assistance. That didn't mean I was rejecting everyone's help, there simply wasn't anybody with skills needed to help the phase the project was in.

oh, thank goodness. i was afraid you were going to let that pass...

I've got evidence to back up literally everything I've said... you kept twisting my words and turned things into a unnecessary shitstorm :/

You are severely missing the point of why I came here to comment on this. There's something MUCH bigger on offer for the Sleep Apnea community here (WAY beyond SleepyHead or my vision for it), and your selfish pettiness is literally trying to belittle something good.

Whether or not people personally like me or how I managed the SleepyHead project, my experience creating SleepyHead and my understanding of CPAP hacking after 8 years of SleepyHead development is a valuable resource, I've accomplished a awful lot of good, and with my experience a lot more good can be done for advancing sleep disorder research and helping CPAP patients.

Try to look beyond your seething hatred of me for 5 seconds and see the point of what I'm saying.. This new project under consideration is NOT mine, nor would I be managing it, but for it to go ahead, it requires that I was willing to back it 100%, which is something I'm definitely not willing to do with AB's attempt. For this new project, I don't much of a point stepping up if I'm going to continually be ridiculed for my past work by people who still benefit from it despite their consistent efforts to undermine it.

Can a rational conversation about it be had without your interference, or will you keep on this bullshit path?

To be clear, he's talking about ridiculously unfair demands like:

Fix it so that Respironics machines don't report "huge excess leaks" because the program is using the Resmed leak criteria on them.
Change it so that SH isn't saying someone has CSR when Respironics machines call it 'periodic breathing'.
New one: Stop calling Resmed's "central" apneas "clear airway", the company doesn't call them that.
Hey, how about a way to show people how much time they spent at each pressure, to help set pressures (oh, wait, that one made it into 1.0).
"Why don't you talk to Pugsy and RobySue about things that confuse new users all the time".
There were a few other things leading up to 1.0 that got changed, things where Resmed defaults were being used on Respironics, or vice versa, confusing things, that threw people off *every day*.

Heinous, I know. But, suggesting making the program so it was less confusing and panic inducing to new users... that's "ridiculously unfair".

[palerider]

I've got evidence to back up literally everything I've said...

Warning to anybody that has anything to do with Mr Watkins.

Document all interactions, because the moment he decides you're against him (and he always does) he deletes all the conversations leading up to that point. just like he deleted his Ryver chat, and his Discord chat.

you kept twisting my words and turned things into a unnecessary shitstorm :/

Your words are plenty twisted the way you type them.

You are severely missing the point of why I came here to comment on this.

Let's go back and see what you commented on, shall we?

I can't really speak for the the photocopy the grouches at AB are attempting off the old codebase, .... I have serious doubts they are capable grasping why the heck fixing that was so important, let alone able to pull it off, they really didn't want to listen to the guy who wrote the code.

That's what you said. You seem to be pathologically incapable of making rational, productive posts these days.

Perhaps if you'd check yourself in at Bundaberg Base Hospital, 273 Bourbong STREET, Bundaberg, 4670, they can help you become a productive member of society.

Can a rational conversation about it be had without your interference, or will you keep on this bullshit path?

As has happened every single time, YOU brought the bullshit.

I'm simply not letting it go unanswered.

[palerider]

the grouches at AB

Were you attempting 'humor', trying a riff off of 'oscar the grouch'?

[jedimark]

Palerider, quit pretending to be a martyr... you knew full well why I booted you.

You tried to usurp the position of my boss, and it got to the point the constant pressure from your ridiculously narrow vision was interfering with major software design issues that led me feeling forced to alter development priorities and rush key software elements, that literally cost me HUNDREDS of work hours to rectify. Sadly, you weren't the only one to do that and dramatically undermine my development work.

Many development problems flat out require foundation work being focused on first... It's easy for users to see the little issues, but not the big ones underneath they were totally dependant on to fix properly. With everyone complaining about the minor issues, the bigger shit never got solved. Is it any wonder I regularly went off to work "silent" to fix this stuff?

Now go away Palerider.

[jedimark]

Palerider, quit your accusations.. I've deleted nothing. All I did was disband SleepyHead/-dev Discord which was no longer serving a useful purpose as it was being used to undermine the SleepyHead project.

AB literally changed their comments and covered up a ton of crap, I've got plenty of screenshots of my own to prove it. I was Nuke banned there and couldn't even reply to false accusations raised against me, so couldn't delete anything if I wanted to. I've deleted nothing here, if anyone did it would have been Pugsy and she had a right to as forum moderator. SleepyHead Facebook group is still up and others can confirm this, all I did was boot a couple of arseholes from AB that were attacking me, and set it temporarily to closed - There's been no activity that I've been part of there since.

Congratulations on knowing how to google the local public hospital to the town everyone knows I live in. You might wanna check into 6110 W Parker Rd, Plano, TX 75093 and ask for a mental health assessment.

Now again, I ask nicely, go away. My reason for commenting here wasn't about me or you... it was about something far more important. Quit being a jerk.
