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.

iirc this isn't possible with roblox anyway? I mean, sober isn't official so maybe you can get it to do that.

Either way, glad to have you here! :D

it for sure was like a decade ago. i have a specific formative memory of using a series of sock puppets to game my way into being the 1,000th unique player on a game i liked a lot.

i think you could only do 2 simultaneously, and it might’ve been win7 exclusive lmao

Really? i remember having to install some software to get me to do it. Though it was only like 7 years ago lol.

this would’ve been 2013ish, and i THINK it had something to do with forcing it to run as either admin or another user.

i might be conflating this with memories of “jailbreaking” school computers, it all kinda blends together after enough concussions lmao
