Bug or intentional? macOS 15.1 completely removes ability to launch unsigned applications
Many MacOS users are probably used by now to the annoyance that comes with unsigned applications, as they require a few extra steps to launch them. This feature is called Gatekeeper and checks for an Apple Developer ID certificate. Starting with MacOS Sequoia 15

@EeveeEuphoria@social.translunar.academy for real. macOS is only easy if you fit exactly in their mold. The ONLY reason I keep it around is I need at least ONE computer around with either macOS or windows because corporate driver software is ass. And I’m sure as hell not using windows if I don’t have to lmao.

@EeveeEuphoria @puzzler im annoyed because I am aware of the issues but yet is my fav os.
Can I recommend someone to buy a mac just for the os?
no.
is right now the mac mini a great recommendation? kinda but "the os may be a problem"
either you love macos or you want to kill everyone involved on the design. no middle ground

Unlikelylass@mspsocial.net@osnews dammit, Apple. I know you are addicted to the AppStore walled garden (enough that autocarrot is correcting my capitalization of it on my phone) but pushing this model onto the Mac is going to end in tears. You actively hate computers now, don't you?

denisb@hachyderm.io@osnews I know you’re more interested in hyperbole than facts, but it’s still possible to remove the quarantine flag from files and run non signed apps.

@getimiskon@fedi.getimiskon.xyz @gabboman@app.wafrn.net @EeveeEuphoria@social.translunar.academy really for me it’s the opposite. Most of their hardware is fantastic. I’m still blown away by the battery life I get on my M1 Pro 2 years into using it. macOS just makes me want to strangle someone
