I love the idea of a Ulysses Pact. Something like https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202491 https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202491 would be good. I note that while right now there’s no way to override the malware safeguards, Apple's promising to fix this. (I believe that update was made after this article was written, btw.)
Now: it’s absolutely true that Apple could change their mind. Given that possibility, I understand why someone might prefer to avoid Apple. I'd be sincerely interested in some thoughts on how you can make such a Pact enforceable, or do you just have to take it on a case by case basis?
- grishka 6y ago> there’s no way to override the malware safeguards There technically is, because Macs don't come with locked bootloaders, and, you know, system files aren't exactly burned into one-time programmable memory. I mean, you could patch the binaries and have it your way if you really want to. But in reality you don't even need to do that — you only have to completely disable SIP and add change the kernel arguments (something like `amfi_get_out_of_my_way=1` iirc) to disable signature verification altogether.
