macOS gatekeeper and file quarantine bypass

Gatekeeper is one of the most frustrating things I have to fight whenever I try using MacOS. It feels like DRM for my applications, which in turn makes everything feel clunkier, and less integrated. I would genuinely pay Apple extra for a version of MacOS that just trusts me and lets me install what I want without the some esoteric mechanism stopping me at every step of the way...

What frustrates you about it? I rarely bump into Gatekeeper and I'm doing the normal dev things.

>But first, go update your macOS systems to 11.3

Unofortunately the risk is to high. Last time I was trying to update to 11.2 my MacBook M1 showed black screen with instruction to find another Mac. During Covid situation I had to endanger myself with going to look for this 'another' Mac. No thank you very much. Not possible for now, who knows will it stuck this time or not. I do not wish loose my ability to work again.

Looks like to update safely you need to have another Mac. I mean if you for sure wish to get the guaranteed result.

BTW, I was reporting about this situation over here and about my surprise to the amount of bugs I have stumbled on . For those who was fast to suggest that there is some hardware issue with this specific machine - you were too fast to suggest something that you wanted very much to be the case. I leave it to your karma why you wanted it but No hardware issues have been found so far till this very day. It passes all tests including speed tests. All of the problems were software bugs and issues. All of them were perfectly known when you search the info about them.

For instance ScreenShot was slow when Mic was selected as sound input source for Screen Video Recording. ScreenShot have nothing to do with Mic as far as I know because no sound is recorded in ScreenShot last time I've checked :) and yet it was slow because of that(I guess it was trying to initialize the Mic for each screenshot). Once you select None as sound input source for Screen Video Recording the ScreenShot works again quickly like it supposed to be.

If this is not funny then what is? And it's very known problem if you google it, yet some people were donwvoting even that! Some people do not like facts it seems.

So I state again what I was stating back then. It's so far the buggiest Mac I ever had.

Some people don't want to be coerced into working remotely near Cupertino …

And that's fair, i wouldn't either, what i mean is they should seriously consider giving him some consultancy fees, bounties / whatever since he's consistently doing good work.
