Adventures in trying to get the social-app bluesky stuff to compile on my stock M1 Mac (just the web bit): > node-gyp/24.4.1/include/node/v8config.h:13:2: error: "C++20 or later required." > 13 | #error "C++20 or later required." Guess I need to figure out how to inject -std=gnu2c into the build

gnu++2c, anyhow.

Well. Even after upgrading the compiler and trying to inject some flags in through environment variables, I cannot even get the basic `yarn` to fire. Man I hate developing node stuff that uses native things. It's a real pain.

Buh. And even after I manage to figure out this problem, I run into ANOTHER problem after that where v8 itself just won't build. Christ. Can software stop being so shoddy?

Alright. So the build error I'm having is solved by latest node. Guess I need to figure out how to pull latest node / latest node-gyp down so this stops being a problem.

> error bsky.app@1.106.0: The engine "node" is incompatible with this module. Expected version ">=20". Got "25.0.0-head" .... They don't.... they don't recognize a hand-built version of node...? Is the version checking code broken because of the `-head`....? .... Come on, bro. :/

Well. I got the webapp (almost) running, but now it's complaining about missing methods and TypeErrors. But at least it's running, so I guess that's a good place to stop.

Alright. Progress has been made. I am now running an independent version of Bluesky. Now it's time to make a (fake) account and get into fixing the things I need to fix. Somehow.
