I mean, macOS has a lot of issues but the one hoop needed to run any unsigned app is "right-click app icon, click open".
Wait, you guys can right click now?
Yeah, shocking you can choose whichever mouse you want and probably have been able to since USB mice became a thing.
Even when apple mice didn't have two buttons, you could right click via control + click.
I should probably get out more
Sometimes it won't let you even get to that step without going into the settings and finding a secret security notification that it blocked it from opening
Yeah, and in rare instances, you’ll need to take the app/binary out from the quarantine
I guess that is true, yes. I do think it's generally a good thing that they're locking down specific permissions like that though.
