    iOS telling you what you can’t install should be a crime.

    Someone should go to jail.

      I’ll go you one better. MacOS telling you what you can’t install.

      ~(Yes, I have mostly defeated it, but it’s the principle.)~

        xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /Applications/<app name> is seared in my brain at this point.

          Oh yeah, I disabled it in terminal. But I shouldn’t have to use fucking terminal for that.

        … if any desktop computer treats you like iOS treats everyone, it’s molotov time.

        Or at the very least:

          I don’t disagree. My problem is that all the alternatives are worse. At least, in my opinion, and for my use case.

DESCRIPTION: A space for anyone who uses Apple products, appreciates what they get right, and wants to talk plainly about what they don’t. This is a friendly place for healthy criticism. You don’t have to love the company. You don’t have to hate it either. If you want honest discussion about Apple hardware, software, ecosystem choices, design decisions, frustrations, or pleasant surprises, you’re welcome here.

RULES: This is a place for:

  • Thoughtful critique, real-world experience, and respectful disagreement
  • Sharing tips, solutions, workarounds, and overlooked features
  • Questioning decisions without turning everything into a complaint thread
  • Welcoming users at any level of experience or enthusiasm

This is not a place for:

  • Trolling, pile-ons, or knee-jerk negativity
  • Brand loyalty debates
  • Personal attacks, sarcasm aimed at other users, or rhetorical grandstanding
  • Gatekeeping based on technical skill, platform history, or product ownership
  • Derogatory references to cults or fanboyism. I don’t actually believe those things really exist anymore. If you wanna talk about them in a historical context, that’s totally fine.

You use Apple. You think about it. (Maybe you think different). That’s all it takes to participate here.
