I’m failing to understand the implied outrage here? Permissions have become far more nuanced than traditional UNIX, and can no longer be understood with only chmod literacy. Apple doesn’t go out of its way to educate users about these changes because it’s supposed to be as transparent as, say, APFS’s file compression and encryption. HN has nothing but scorn usually for these “un-Professional” users that tend not to spend their time doing binary diffs on new point updates of MacOS housekeeping daemons. They do get a lot more actual work done, though. The article doesn’t even try to make any specific point how these changes hurt anybody. Indeed the author mentions that nobody would have noticed if not for people running ‘strings’ on new binaries. Millions of people have been running these changes, none of them even noticed, and all were presumably at least a bit safer than before. People at Apple must be feeling like tourists in bizzarroworld seeing people trying to scandalize this.
