Apple needs to finish migrating their casual userbase off MacOS and onto iPadOS. Macs should be reserved for engineers and other technician oriented jobs in the various industries. That should be the delineation.

The industry tried to morph desktop computing into the world of Windows XP playschool friendly computing. Teach grandma for the 6th time how to click the start menu, etc.

That was a stopgap solution, and that era is over. We need to move all of those people off of computers and onto consumer-safe devices. Then restore desktop computing back to its originally intended audience, take off the bumpers and give unregulated access back to serious computer users who want to build important stuff, not get constantly nagged and prohibited from doing so.

If you want your computer back, use this to disable the protections. In the system preferences, a new option is enabled under the security section, "Allow apps downloaded from: Anywhere"

> sudo spctl --master-disable

> sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.security GKAutoRearm -bool false

> :> ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.LaunchServices.QuarantineEventsV2

> sudo chflags simmutable ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.LaunchServices.QuarantineEventsV2

You may need to disable system integrity protection to do this

> csrutil disable

If you know what you're doing, like probably everyone here, you don't need any of this junk. I didn't need it in 1998, and I don't need it now either.
