This seems completely incompetent on Apple's part and all-around awful. The supposed point of these prompts is that somebody could install screen recording software on your computer without you knowing. Now, that person can defeat the prompts, while everybody intentionally installing software has annoying hoops to jump through. Worse, they might have a false sense of security when it matters the most.

I hope these prompts get removed but, if they exist, they should not be possible to sidestep.

Those assholes. It’s fine to make the default more safe but nag forever is not a way to show you love your users. Removing your users’ ability to select this option in the UI is evil. Same with “would you like to trust this computer” every damned time. Yes, just like every other time. If I could find the person who took my ability to choose the way these important computer behaviors work, I would kick him right in the jibbly bits.

Pro tip taking away your users ability to choose is a great way to destroy goodwill.

I guess it’s back to Linux. Hopefully trackpad support is better this time around.

macOS has started to add some unplanned APIs all in the name of security. Full disk access - no api to get the permission. No way to do this in XCode permanently for development. Just keep dragging builds on each clean build folder.

inb4 an update to macOS checks for "unreasonable" dates and helpfully "fixes" it
