> Seems pretty obvious in retrospect (and probably would have been obvious at the time, too) - they don't care about locking down Macs, but they do care about locking down iPhones and iPads. Are we sure yet? Apple ships a read only system partition now, and requires the users to go through hoops to remove that, and they have been adding more and more of the random codesign and entitlement locking features to their base operating system (to use their AuthKit library to authenticate for Apple services, for example, you now need to not only disable System Integrity Protection, but patch the Apple Mobile File Integrity Daemon... which occurs to me maybe is now macOS instead of Mobile? ;P). These are the same steps as jaikbreaking an iOS device, only without the "exploits" (though still with patching code). I was able to find a good walkthrough of the process here: https://pvieito.com/2016/12/amfid-patching https://pvieito.com/2016/12/amfid-patching > The remaining GPL software, which has stayed steady for a couple of releases, are all things you don't need on iOS: emacs, screen, etc. If it causes you to rethink your position here, you might want to try running emacs on the latest version of macOS...
