honestly not sure if I have the discipline to not be enraged at even little proprietary ecosystem things like forced updates

@georgia@netzsphaere.xyz you can disable all of that on macOS still, sadly not iOS/iPadOS

@anemone oh thats great!

@georgia@netzsphaere.xyz I don't remember exactly how but macOS 26 was so buggy for awhile I had a configuration profile installed to disable major version upgrade notifications

@anemone oh there are profiles too? thats great

@georgia@netzsphaere.xyz I would say the main things to disable are gatekeeper (having it enabled makes you jump through hoops to launch unsigned applications, it's unfortunately they made the process so annoying because I'd rather have gatekeeper enabled since it is useful but they fucked it up) and, if you really want to install/tweak system modifications, System Integrity Protection, though I personally would recommend keeping it on unless you really want some specific macOS modification because it is a genuinely useful security feature
