Crashing several times a day on my end. Real pity because it is the only tool that makes the TB useful.

• macOS version: 11.3
• Pock version: 0.8.1-5

Yes same behaviour with mine. Although for me it only occurs after a dock it. It's annoying because everytime I unplug my Mac I have to manually open pock to keep it running again. For some reason is also disables the default control strip after it runs so when it does crash there is no way to adjust the brightness/volumes without reopening pock. At this point it's either I uninstall pock or I stick with the default Touch Bar. As I need a reliable way to control brightness/volume.

Really hope they patch this issue because there are similar posts too and it's been at least a month with no update. It's somewhat unusable in the current state. Just commenting to keep watch.

@Jseeca There is a fix proposed in the linked issue above (https://github.com/pock/pock/issues/454#issuecomment-821913911).
It has been working flawlessly ever since I applied it.

Oh wow I didn't see that, although I'm not exactly sure how to set it up? Do we just copy and paste the code into the terminal because it does nothing on my end. I don't see a new plist created after running the terminal for me to edit in the first place. I don't know much about code so unsure on what to do.
I've tried making a text file, adding the mentioned contents then changing the name of the extension to a plist (It asks me to confirm so it is indeed changed) and manually pasting it into the folder, but when I run it in the terminal it just says load error. Could someone provide a walkthrough?
