  1. Thank you! I would never do that. Disagreement does not imply lack of respect. It was not meant to bother you. This is why I also put a smiley at the end of my sentence. The point was to bring attention to your posts which are hard to read because of your AI usage. AI can be helpful, especially for communication and I know people who are able to communicate their thoughts better with the help of AI. However, that involves using AI very lightly and mostly for translating and fixing text they actually wrote. When you give AI more freedom to write things for you, the effects will commonly be the opposite. I am finding your posts where you used AI extremely hard to read. They are long and unnecessarily wordy. Another problem (not that relevant here and now) is that when one can clearly recognize something being AI generated more than having some light AI touches, one cannot be sure whether you are actually discussing something with a person or merely an AI. Are the points and arguments used really the ones that the person has tried to make or it is just something AI put there? It is hard to have a conversation in such situations. Nobody is trying to prevent anyone from using AI. You are free to use it all you like. I am not sure what you mean by spying or using third party tools. I am neither spying on you, nor I am using any tools for AI detection. As a Stack Overflow moderator, I have seen first hand the huge amount of damage AI can cause. The amount of posted AI answers there (where vast majority of them are completely incorrect AI slop) is not measured in thousands. It is measured in tens and hundreds of thousands. There are users who posted hundreds and even thousands AI answers. Imagine how much more of such posts would be there if AI would be allowed there. The site would be overflowed with AI. The only reason why AI is forbidden there is to preserve the site as repository of knowledge and a place where you can go and get help from actual experts in their field. Unfortunately, the only means moderators have to fight such influx of AI answers is to remove all and every one where some AI usage is detected (even when it is used merely for translating). We cannot easily distinguish between post which were fully AI generated and ones that were merely improved by AI. On the scale of Stack Overflow, with only handful of moderators removing AI, we cannot judge the correctness of each and every answer. Unfortunately, it would. You cannot add feature without removing the time needed to do implement said feature, from something else. That means less improvements in already used frameworks (VCL and FMX), less bug fixes, less IDE improvements. Embarcadero is not Microsoft, nor Apple, nor Google. They need to pick what they will do carefully to maximize benefits to all customers, which means focusing on the things that cannot be easily provided by 3rd party.
  2. I am hoping someone else has experienced this and can share a solution. Last week my debugging MacOS applications through PAServer became extremely slow. Code executes but (apparently) the communication between the debugging process on the Mac and on the Windows PC is so slow as to be unusable. If I detach from the process the application will suddenly start running at normal speeds. No breakpoints are needed for this problem to happen, just the act of running it with the debugger attached slows everything down to an unusable speed. It is possible, but I do not know if this timing is correct, that this happened after updating the Mac to Sequoia 15.4. The Mac is an M2 Pro model with a 2.5 gig wired ethernet connection (wifi disabled). Deploying to the Mac is super fast from Delphi. It's not a network speed issue. I have already tried updating XCode and updating the SDK profile in Delphi. Details: Apple M2 Pro, Sequoia 15.4 Wired ethernet (2.5 gig), deployment speed is very very fast even for large transfers. Delphi 12.2. Target: MacOSX ARM 64 bit, SDK 15.4. Does anyone who debugs MacOS FMX applications have any suggestions on what might be suddenly slowing down the debug process? I can confirm that code is running and I can step through it, it's just SUPER slow to do so, the main form takes several minutes to appear (but eventually does), after which it remains ultra-slow.

    Please, pretty please, make it [0..63] not [0..64], it is triggering my OCD ! Also having goosebumps from that off by one to an odd number !
  4. Have you considered joining Embarcadero's marketing team?

    Sending Email via GMail Using OAuth 2.0 via Indy

    I've updated my project so it now not only sends messages via gmail... but it can send hotmail.com/live.com/outlook.com emails. GmailAuthSMTP supports the XOAUTH2 and OAUTHBEARER authentication types and so could probably support other mail providers if they use those standards as well. https://github.com/geoffsmith82/GmailAuthSMTP/

    TListView collapse stuff under a header

    Maybe be toggling the Visible flag for all entries from below the "Clicked" Header item to next Header item ? Certainly not nice, I know, but I think there is no grouping function included in FMX.ListView AFAIK. Not sure howto force Headers to fire events.
