That definitely sounds like a bug to me, not a product decision. Real shitty though. Apple definitely better than Microsoft when it comes to shoving updates down your throat, but as others have said, yes the ultimate answer is to use FOSS. For my use, I appreciate regular updates, they rarely cause me trouble, and don’t want to have to be a linux sysadmin for my daily driver anymore. But I understand the desire for crystal clear control. Apple is usually pretty good about this, so this failure really is a stain. I hope they fix it.
- olliej 3y agoThat’s my assumption - I imagine there’s general “prepare the update” path that gets canceled explicitly by clicking a “no” button and can easily imagine that kind of logic missing close the window or whatever.
