iMac w/ case sensitive FS errors when using binaries

See original GitHub issue

I downloaded and unzipped this binary: https://github.com/ActivityWatch/activitywatch/releases/download/v0.8.0b6/activitywatch-v0.8.0b6-macos-x86_64.zip

(i.e., AW version is v0.8.0b6)

I put aw into my home directory, and tried to run the binaries:

$ ./aw-qt
Fatal Python error: initfsencoding: unable to load the file system codec
zipimport.ZipImportError: can't find module 'encodings'

Current thread 0x00007fff8d417380 (most recent call first):
Abort trap: 6

No log file was produced at ~/Library/Logs/activitywatch

Any ideas?

I released v0.8.0b7 today which should work fine on macOS. Sorry for the delay.
