It's such a pain keeping track of all the `defaults write xxx` stuff when Apple updates.

My current setup here in case useful to anyone: https://gist.github.com/dbuxton/3ccdfd88b05e1f2807c05fe32f50...

(If anyone knows how to show bluetooth in top menu all the time on Sonoma I'd love to learn - haven't done much investigation but option seems to have disappeared in the UI...)

I was so glad to remove all that (and to a lesser extent, trying to maintain both Homebrew package names and pacman/AUR names for everything, which obviously sometimes differ or need a different thing anyway) when I started using a Linux machine for work (already did personally). That might change again unfortunately; I'm hoping some day Nix or something like it is a cross-platform solution, but I don't think it's there yet. Discovering the `defaults` options (or worse: what you're setting that no longer does anything) is a nightmare.

Can you still drag it from control center to the menu bar? I haven’t upgraded to Sonoma yet so I can’t test it.
