Double click the app and start it?
Now if you're referring to cloud locks and garbage like that, well that's a risk you take if you decide you're going to use that, just like every single project on github takes the risk that Microsoft doesn't discontinue it. Or every single business that relied on CentOS was taking the risk that RedHat wouldn't discontinue it.
- PaulDavisThe1st 3y agoHow about "no longer runs on the current version of macOS, and your macbook just died".
- tpmoney 3y agoI feel like that's a risk for all software, OSS or not. If the OSS maintainers stop updating your software, it probably stops running on the latest version of your OS at some point. Apple or Microsoft may accelerate that process (Apple almost certainly, Microsoft less so as they're famously very concerned about backwards compatibility). Obviously there's some software that probably could keep running without updates almost forever, but even for simple things if you're dynamically linked against 32 bit libraries is going to have a hard time on 64 bit OSes if the 32 bit versions of that library aren't available. OSes may add or remove functionality your app relied upon. Heck as long as we're imagining a world where Adobe has decided to stop making photoshop, we could also imagine a world where IPv4 is finally deprecated and removed. How many applications out there assume an IP address is and will always be 4 octets?
