Snow Leopard, 10.6, still is the best MacOS version (except for the fact that it's not supported anymore). Only minor improvements have been made since then, and many deteriorations.

Great, your terminal can now access everything on your system.

  That's exactly what I want on my system, thank you very much. I don't understand why there's no TCC kill switch, like there is for Gatekeeper and SIP. It's needed.

    That is clearly not what the original commenter wanted.
    - Wowfunhappy 7y ago
      ...Who is the original commenter at this point? GP mentioned preferring Snow Leopard, which doesn't have TCC. Cannam and m463 didn't express a preference either way.

        m463 (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21830357 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21830357) totally does: they dislike this feature because they edit the path after copying it, so it's giving access to the wrong thing. They're missing the point that earlier versions of macOS didn't have anything at all.

        ...ah, I actually totally misinterpreted that post. Thanks.

        Before moving to catalina, I would like a way to disable it and revert to the old behavior. Terminal is a trusted app to me. Actually, I probably won't be moving to catalina. I've been a diehard apple user since I got a G3, but the way apple is going their computers are too nerfed. It's like trying to get excited about buying a car from a rental car trade-in lot.

        You can, but it has to be done individually for each app. Security & Privacy -> Privacy -> Full disk access

  Who cares? The terminal is a trusted system application. This is a computer, not a phone. Oh, wait, Apple's marketing...

    A trusted system application which you use to run untrusted applications.
    - gdxhyrd 7y ago
      Perhaps you do. I definitely don't run untrusted software. In any case, the fact that the Terminal could be allowed to access all the disk has nothing to do with child processes being allowed to access all the disk.

  As it fucking should.

Ahh yes, who can remember the Mac release that deleted your main user account if you used the guest account. Pinnacle of stability and reliability!
