As a power user, disabling something in the CLI once rather than approving every app is more convenient.
There’s no way they can prevent it entirely unless they make their own developers sign their apps before running test builds, as well as every other developer. Doing so would be so hostile that people would stop developing for the Mac.
Christ almighty what clickbait bullshit… here’s the changelog of the change:
In macOS Sequoia, users will no longer be able to Control-click to override Gatekeeper when opening software that isn’t signed correctly or notarized. They’ll need to visit System Settings > Privacy & Security to review security information for software before allowing it to run.
Plus you can completely disable gatekeeper in the terminal. Y’all can put away your pitchforks now.
Apple’s processors may be impressive these days, but that doesn’t make up for the fact that their computers are getting ever less useful.
I have stopped giving Apple my money, for this among other reasons. I have to say, though, that Asahi Linux makes a compelling case for repurposing their hardware for better use.
I’m going to roll my eyes: if you read the change it’s literally ‘Instead of cmd-clicking, you need to hit ‘okay cool’ in the control panel’, not YOU CANT RUN UNSIGNED SOFTWAER!!@11!!111
The reason for this change was, shockingly, because malicious asshats were putting up malware pages telling people ‘oh you have to cmd-click to install totally legit thing here!’ and this puts a nice warning up in front of less-educated people in the hopes of preventing the spread of malware.
I’m 100% for this change since it literally adds 3 seconds of clicking a single time for an app, and makes it where my family members are less likely to get totally screwed over.
This makes sense. Still, as someone who used Marcos on and off for 4 years, there’s literally been times where I gave up on frustration because some sort of app didn’t run for “security” reasons

Polos!
Polos!
