Slow boiling frog.
Given the history of what Apple did in the past, I think it's very naive that this is the last restriction Apple will add.
First the user could run any app.
Then you had to sign the app or the user would see a scary warning.
Then you had to sign the app or, by default, the user could not open the app, unless he enables it via a UI that is very confusing (and I assume on purpose).
Now you have to notorize the app.
It's pretty clear that the end goal for Apple is to lock down Mac OS the same way they locked down iOS.
Apple needs to protect the hostages, I mean users, from the likes of Mozilla which produces a dangerous app that duplicates built-in OS functionality, which is confusing. And it can deliver porn so think of the children!
And they will in Mac OS 10.20, unless the government steps in.
- vunie 7y ago>Slow boiling frog. I agree. All this infrastructure and support doesn't make sense if it is only used on executables that have some easily modifiable fs attribute set. I fully expect apple to try to expand this on all executables at some point in the future. It'll be interesting to see if they will be able to pull it off.
- velcrovan 7y agoIt's worth noting that frogs will in fact jump out of hot water no matter how slowly you bring it to a boil.
