 @chris @porglezomp I have experienced this firsthand with multiple programs I've downloaded with a browser. Right-click, open *should* do the same thing as double-clicking. That it no longer does, that even users with years of experience find this surprising, is exactly why it's a dark pattern. 5 comments
 @ieure @porglezomp I honestly can't be bothered with this kind of conspiracy stuff, no matter what company it is. Saying something is "damaged" isn't a lie if it's not conforming to *minimal* expectations. Yes, security is inconvenient but it's no big secret. https://support.apple.com/en-ca/guide/security/sec7c917bf14/web @chris @porglezomp lmao are we hitting the denial stage of grief? Is a program "damaged" because I haven't removed the quarantine bit? Is Apple the one who gets to decide what software I run on my computer?   @ieure @chris @porglezomp „Why“ seems relatively obvious: Apple believes to make more money that way. But to me it raises the question: What else evil and maybe more subtle trickery might they do to cripple things or to keep the profitable ways for themselves and out of the reach of others, including the customers. |

@chris @porglezomp After removing the quarantine bit, the program launches and runs perfectly. It wasn't damaged, but Apple chose to write software which actively lies to its users. Worth pondering why they decided to do that.
