Making it an OS more hated by the day.
- klodolph 5y agoI mean, that’s actually a fair observation, at least on HN. A lot of people on HN do complain about the changes. There’s a tradeoff between security and convenience. Making something more secure is, essentially, making it harder to use for undesired use cases. The side effect is inevitably that it also makes it harder to use for legitimate use cases.

- jcelerier 5y agoI am sadly typing this on a mac right now and it's a constant pain versus my main linux system (which is in a lot of aspects also a big pain when I think about how simply everything worked in win98). Have to right-click > open every other app I use, gatekeeper blocking apps for no good reason, etc etc
- chrisseaton 5y agoI really like the way macOS is getting more secure. It just seems like good engineering if nothing else - why do applications get to access devices by default?
