Yes, so we should move to a source-based package manager and build system, like FreeBSD ports.

There are plenty of options for that on macOS, the most common being homebrew and MacPorts.

Homebrew defaults to downloading binaries.

> No more control+ click to bypass gatekeeper Can someone expand on this? How do you run software that isn't code signed?

> The right-click/control-click option for easily opening unsigned apps is no longer available. Users who want to open unsigned software will now need to go the long way around to do it: first, try to launch the app and dismiss the dialog box telling you that it can't be opened. Then, open Settings, go to the Privacy & Security screen, scroll all the way to the bottom to get to the Security section, and click the Ope…

Weird, that's been how I was doing it ~4 years ago before I switched to Windows for a while.

Is it better than Swish? I recently discovered this and it's game changing for trackpad users https://highlyopinionated.co/swish/

Have been using Rectangles for a while. I like Swish's tiling options, though! I'll have to give it a try.

I like Rectangle too, but both Magnet and Swish have feature that seems they would appeal to a lot more Mac users.

We're getting closer to the bottom of the slope! I wonder what their next step will be. 1. Need to disable gatekeeper to run unsigned code. 2. Need an active developer account. 3. You can't run downloaded unsigned code.

That's when I think about jumping ship. If they require the App Store that's the end.

They can't, and they won't. Just look at the upcoming changes being forced on iOS in the EU with sideloading.

I know I'll be seen as an Apple fanbot for saying it, but holy schmoley Apple's operating system-fu just leaves Windows in the dust.

That's more on Microsoft's sudden shift to enshittification as a business model rather than making good software. Apple has is actually enshittifying too (dumb UI changes, worse apps - see "Catalyst", etc), it's just that Microsoft has became a trailblazer in that field so Apple still feels good in comparison, despite the many downgrades.

Meanwhile, Wall Street and normies call Satya Nadella a genius and will be shocked in 5 to 10 years when their tabloid news operation/tech company starts looking more like IBM.

Well, 1Password must be feeling pretty sour about how Apple Passwords app is a complete 1:1 clone. They don’t do licenses, credit cards or ssh keys yet so we probably won’t switch… yet

Well I've decided not to renew 1password. I have very basic use cases, and am happing to stay within Apple eco system. So, to me, 1password is just too much money.

I agree with you, our small business pays around $1200 per year for 1Password for a handful of users.

Apple passwords doesn’t have to be ABSOLUTELY AMAZING to make financial sense to us, it just has to work well enough where previously we didn’t really have any free options we liked.

15GB for some crappy generative AI. No thanks. Will stick with Monterey as long as possible. This new generative AI thing may just be the thing to make me install Asahi Linux on my computer. Hopefully it's feature-complete enough soon.

More importantly - it doesn't work on anything but apple hardware.

They have said it will work on Windows with iCloud desktop app installed.
