I switched from macos to Linux because it can't stop babying users and being unnecessarily restrictive (lemmynsfw.com)

I tried running a 2nd instance of Roblox simultaneously on macos 15 with another account but this shows up, if my mac can handle it then why can't it just let me do it? If I have two copies of an app like Roblox in separate User/Applications folders, macos moves them to the /Applications/ folder.

Sometimes it won't run apps claiming to be corrupted, so I then have to do sudo xattr -cr /Applications/someapp.app in the terminal and they run perfectly fine. It always nags me if I download apps from anywhere but mac app store. Some of these messages can only be gotten rid of by disabling system integrity protection, but then macos blocks you from running MAS apps due to having "permissive security".

I don't daily drive macOS anymore, I switched to Linux on my M1 mac where I can do whatever the hell I want.

We've been mucking around with how to pre-configure Raspberry Pis after flashing at $DAYJOB and basically, the way the Raspberry Pi Imager works is that it writes a firstrun.sh onto the SD card which gets run during first boot.

How does it know to not run that script from the second boot onwards? Well, one of the lines in that script is:

rm -f firstrun.sh

...it deletes itself while it's running. 🙃

That's pretty clever
