This already exists. Mozilla is on the free tier. I would like to see a non-profit organization step up to do this for other projects.
And then the non profit changes hands and suddenly every app it facilitates is in a complicated situation… I don’t think Apple has truly considered the ramifications of their little security tricks.
This is something I could see a group like Software in the Public Interest doing. They’re not going anywhere or changing hands for the next foreseeable version of your GUI Mac App

#73This will mostly affect advanced users. Hopefully, my next update will be Asahi, once its hardware support (especially HDMI output) has advanced enough.
I tried Asahi on my older M1 macbook and the battery life is still very bad. I am pretty experienced trying to dive into CPU schedulers and kernel settings, etc. to try and fix it, but I was unable to squeeze more than about 3 hours of battery out of the laptop WHILE CLOSED! In contrast just booting up mac os the battery lasts about 36 hours+ while closed.
When did you try it? There were some big improvements recently:
> Putting EAS and utilisation clamping together, we took a 15" M2 MacBook Air from about 6 hours of useable battery life just sitting at the desktop to about 8-10 hours of 1080p30 YouTube, 12-15 hours of desktop use, and an enormous 25-28 hours of screen-off idle time. We still have many more tricks up our sleeves to eke out more battery life, and a deep dive on EAS utilisation clamping is in the works. Watch this space!

#74> In macOS Sequoia, users will no longer be able to Control-click to override Gatekeeper when opening software that isn’t signed correctly or notarized. Will Right Click > Open still work? That is how I currently bypass this issue with unsigned applications.
hopefully xattr -d com.apple.quarantine will keep working.
As well as `sudo spctl --master-disable`, except it now gets reset sometimes because you know, computers are so unreliable, they forget things all the time.

It's a cancer in the sense that it is a growing and spreading idea in Apple's ecosystem, and is strangling the usability of its products. It doesn't really resemble a genocide metaphorically.
thank you - this is what i meant when i said cancer.

#76Yes, make macOS more and more like iPadOS so their users can do less and less other than buying apps from the app store and scrolling through the slop on Safari. Apple kinda reminds me of Intel in the 2010's ( not 1-1 comparison ), hollowed and rotting inside but in a constant party because $$ coming in and line going up.. They wrongly think because they control the dials when things start to go south they can just s…
You don't need to distribute via the app store for your app to be notarized, you just need to have an apple developer account ($99/year) and go through the notarization flow, which is automated and typically takes less than a minute. You're free to distribute (and sell) your notarized app however you want.
~$100/year is not nothing outside the first world. Esp when you need to balance it with other subscription costs. The hardware is owned by other people. Why should one have to pay Apple for running a binary outside their premises ? Its just plain tyranny.
