Bro.... the demonification of non-manifacturer software has GOT to stop. On huawei its even worse, enabling third party installing forces you thru like three screens and u have to wait 10 FKN SECONDS before u can click thru each..
The very, VERY WORST thing about macOS Sequoia is how cunty they’ve become over software downloaded from the internet.
Downloaded an update for Freetube yesterday. Dragged it into the Apps folder, tried to open it.
“Nah bruv. Put it in the bin” said macOS. No other options. Ignore, or trash it.
I’m a canny user, so I know that I now have to open the Security settings and click a button to say I’m happy to use the app.
Return to the app to open it.
“Nah bruv. Put it in the bin. Or open it if you’re stupid. Whatever”
Only then will it open.
Some software, usually stuff downloaded from GitHub, requires me to run a command in Terminal before it’ll run. Tried to install Librewolf via Brew the other day, and had to use Terminal to remove and replace the signature because Finder couldn’t even recognise it as a usable app.
Stupid shit.
You’re telling me, maaan— they’ve been so up in their feelings lately. I bought a Mac OS X (old as fuck, I know) from some guy on Facebook and when I got home I reset it and set it up. Then Mac like —you can’t update this Model because *. Like— bruh… You won’t let me update this dinosaur to 2019? They have the ability because it is within its compatibility but they just don’t do it. It’ll start “Installing…” then it never starts or finishes. It just wastes my Internet running forever moving files back and forth forever then says “Update not allows for Mac OS X” like —WHAT THE FUCK?! How you going to act like I can update, then just give an error after a billion years wasting my internet then be like “Update not supported” or some shit? 🤦♂️ All these companies are freaking stupid.
If you’re trying to install a newer version of macOS than your Mac will allow, then Opencore Legacy Patcher is your friend.
Thank you so much for that! I’ll try it as soon as possible. I’m stuck on, I think it’s the MacOS X 10.1.
