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.

    Windows will not allow me to attach a file to an email because it is opened in Word 🤷

      xattr -d com.apple.quarantine path/to/file will remove that shit.

      Though personally, I get as much software as possible on my work MacBook through Nix, and only use .dmg files if absolutely required.

      Surpsingly a lot of adults play Roblox. I dislike the game but I was asked multiple times by my older peers to play Roblox.

    I have to daily drive a Mac for work, and it’s a constant pain. Fortunately, there are signs that the PC world is catching up with Apple hardware, most recently in the form of the Qualcomm Snapdragon X1 series CPUs. The Linux support isn’t there yet, but it’s likely just a matter of time before we too can enjoy excellent battery life and great performance.
