I truly despise the way Apple has slowly locked up macOS

@shreyan@twtxt.net Locked up how? Irs my primary OS and I don’t see how it’s too locked up tbh

@prologic@twtxt.net It’s also been my primary OS for a long time, and I still love it, but I don’t love some of Apple’s decisions. What prompted me to write this specific post was having to take extra steps to open FOSS apps on macOS because they don’t have an “Apple-approved” signature 🤦‍♂️

@shreyan@twtxt.net For the sake of security and supply-chain-attacks, I don’t have a problem with that requirement per se to be honest. If you build from source, you’re all good. If you download some arbitrary binary, yeah you’re going to want that to be signed. As I do most things with either go or brew I don’t really run into too many issues here myself.

@prologic@twtxt.net True, brew is very helpful in that regards, and yeah, security does matter. It just bothers me when they use such logic to, for example, restrict Safari WebExtensions to only being available through the App Store even if it’s signed properly

@shreyan@twtxt.net Ahh I see. 🤔 Surely there’s a way to manually add them with developer options?

@prologic@twtxt.net I hope so. If there is, I haven’t found it yet
