I was surprised to find out the something even worse is happening on default installations of Windows 10: you cannot install non-Microsoft software at all unless you go to the system settings and disable "S mode". It's impossible for someone who's not technically oriented to know how to disable S mode or even what it is, and trying to get my mum to install Google Chrome on her new computer was harder than it has any…

But when a company makes such shiny and popular devices they seem exempt from any usual criticisms of hypercapitalism and near-monopoly power
Well the other hypercapitalists sell a product that sucks and sure, it lets you run other stuff, but it absolutely tramples on your privacy and is still, for the most part, worse in all aspects. (and yes the keyboard issues were very close to tipping the scales) I wish the choice was simple, but it isn't.
I suppose if you're a socialist you probably don't understand how it all works without a government edict giving you instructions and making sure you and your neighbor have the same marginal product.
However, even without this edict, rest assured that you can make the change without the government allowing you to... Fell free to switch.

Interjecting a side note - while you're here.... a building nr me, was a pub 15 years ago, then it was empty for 5 years, until it became a convenience store. It's still listed as a pub, 2 years after I, and others, have sent corrections. I'd love to love OSM but.... Apologies for the hijack... Back to the main issue with right click.....
OSM works like Wikipedia. There's no company looking at notes, it's just volunteers. You can also do the modification yourself, it's quite easy, you just need an account. For that particular case, if you post the URL or location I can take a look if you want.
Thanks for putting me right.
So there's no point (is there?) letting any old people send in corrections, and waiting years...?

You can run your own binaries locally because they do not have quarantine flags, not because they are locally signed. You can also remove quarantine flags from anything you download and after that you don't have the right click option either. For example: xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine ~/Downloads/Absolutely-Not-Malware.dmg
The comment you're replying to is confusing because it's been copied out of context from where it was originally posted, which as a discussion of a mandatory signing requirement on Apple silicon.
Yes I see now what you mean and with that background Xenadu02's reply does make a lot more sense.
Don't have access to a Apple Developer Transition Kit, so was not aware of the new requirements.

Yes, and I've used that other OS a lot as well But it is not a panacea and it is not for everybody. And it has two main issues: - developers don't care about stability and/or polish (just see the discussions on the trackpad ITT) "Oh but if you change library X to Y and reroute libinput and etc it might maybe work and maybe it will not break anything else" - because of the former reason, not all (important) applicatio…
In my experience, people who fight against things like NM do not know what they are doing, think it's still 1990, network configuration is still static /etc/network/interfaces and then wonder why their wifi/lte modem/dns/whatever isn't working and wonder why.
Is your app signed and secured? it runs in the current environment. Otherwise it runs in a copy of the current environment, with restrictions as to what it can send/receive from the world.
Why do so many in tech buy into a walled garden and then bitch about it later? I could say whinge but it doesn't quite convey what I'm seeing here.

In which case I'll make an account! Thanks for putting me right. So there's no point (is there?) letting any old people send in corrections, and waiting years...?

Apple is an aspiration selling company. >>I also can't imagine $100 is easy to come up with in countries below level 4[1] Someone who is developing for Apple platform in specific, has already spent ~$1000 in devices. Say they couldn't afford to build explicitly for Apple[1], they instead develop for web using a Raspberry Pi and try to leverage smartphone capabilities using PWAs; Alas Apple throws in hurdles there as…
PWAs are terrible, but that debate has nothing on the real gem here: > ...Then why does Apple advertise its products using Google Ads? Congratulations, this cracks top 5 oddest Apple hater argument ever posted in this land of many of 'em.

I know Rust specifically supports compiling for Mac from Linux.
Doesn't rust support cross compiling to/from any supported platform?
