    The whining from a certain group is getting old.  If this bothers you, go to Linux or Windows.  There are choices.  Most users of MacOS are regular users, not power users.  The majority of users I would think would support this. 

    Just look at the mess that happens with the wild-west that is Windows.  If that is what bakes your noodle, go right ahead to that yard.

    Hopefully more users will start to question why some software providers are asking them to leave the door unlocked if they way to run their software on a secure system. Perhaps they believe the (fire)wall they’ve erected around their system is secure enough considering the nature of what the app does. All I can say is that if my privacy, security, or financial health is at risk I’m going to consider sighed software to be a requirement, not an option. All of my past customers felt exactly the same way. 

    This isn’t some kind of universal lock.  This is not registering as an Apple Developer.  You’re advocating the “if you’re not doing anything wrong, you shouldn’t have anything to worry about with any oversight, no matter what” position.   Apple keep moving towards the closed off system on the Mac.  Do you think there haven’t been any scams on iOS?  Do you think all scams on macOS, on PCs have been because of non-registered software?   Was Cloudstrike debacle from an unsigned  update?

    Because all the platforms are the same, right? Just go to something else if this thing “bothers” you?  Who are you to characterize what kind of person uses a Mac in what kind of way?

    What a wonderful title would have been: “Lauren Powel Jobs saved 30% on buying her new home in Prime Day!”

    But nasty news about Apple et all… brings page views… aka ad revenues!
    There's nothing negative about the headline. She broke a record. Whether that's good or bad is up to the reader.

    Billionaires are bad for humanity.   People really do want a monarchy/oligarchy in this country.  jfc.

    I always wondered what life was like waking up every morning feeling like a victim, and inventing things to complain about.

    I'm sure there's some level of truth to some of her claims, but wow... what is next in her rampage? That the socks she bought are making her ears itch?

    I mean, showing up and trolling comments, sure that women are attacking you favorite helpless $3 trillion multinational?  There’s some victimhood.

    If it’s THAT pink, watch “bruhs” all over suddenly realize that “gender” really IS a different construct than “sex”.
