I agree with you in terms of iOS but macOS is super easy to run custom software on. I might have to click a security box for non-notarized apps (but not CLI tools) but I don’t see that as a bad thing.
When it comes to permission dialogs Windows has always been worse IMO
- DeusExMachina 6y agoI would not characterize that as just "clicking a security box for non-notarized apps". A few days ago I downloaded a non-notarized app. The dialog that I saw baffled me and it took me a while to recall how to run a non-notarized app. You have to right-click on it and clock on "open", something that should be equivalent to double-clicking, but isn't. That's harder than clicking a security box. Someone with no knowledge might never find out how to run these apps.
- jdxcode 6y agoWe could debate the appropriate level of friction for running this class of software, but GP said: > Apple has always been far more controlling than Microsoft Notarization came out with Catalina.
- DeusExMachina 6y agoI'm not disputing that. I'm just saying it's harder than checking a box.
- nowandlater 6y agoTry getting a non-notarized VST to run in your DAW. At least in my experience, even after allowing the plugin in security and privacy it still never loads in Reaper. It's entirely possible, even probable, that I'm doing something wrong. But what a headache.
