    Pick your poison: You can die quickly thanks to a barrage of privacy warnings, or you can die slowly by having to deal with privacy warnings every time you run a new app. Either way will kill you.

    That is a hilariously shit-tier take. Complaining about strict, OS-level privacy controls that actually show you what your software is trying to grab from your system? Lol. Lmao, even.

      Using your example, unless you’re a masochist why would you want to have a slower death?

    I hope no one at Apple takes this opinion seriously. The security of Apple hardware and software is one of its major selling points for me. The MINUSCULE amount of time it takes to click a button allowing permissions is very much worth the security and transparency it provides.

    That title makes me chuckle. He should go set up a fresh install of Windows and see what the default security experience is like. Mac OS makes it smooth and fast, and relatively unobtrusive in comparison.

    Due to an extremely weird series of troubleshooting maneuvers

    The dude fucked up his own Mac and wants to blame Apple

      Well not the first time I heard something like that.

      My favourite is when people download mod for games, and then blames the game devs for the mod braking stuff.

    In all honesty I’m split. There are times when it’s more hoop jumping than I want to deal with, but I’m also closer to a power user, and am capable of at least finding the information on the hoop jumping. The fact that by default, an average user gets spied on less is a good thing. The insane malware developers call anti-cheat on Windows is a far worse default as far as I’m concerned.
