Before you get on your high horse complaining about Americans and who we voted for.

Keep in mind: This is the Fediverse. This isn't where the Republicans/MAGAts hang out. You're kicking the people who think like you do and who are in danger.

None of the right wingers are going to see you bitching about them, only their victims will.

If you want to beat up on the right people, go back to Twitter.

So, Apple got weird with running unsigned applications in macOS 15.1. Basically, you’ll get a really weird error trying to run an unsigned app that was installed after upgrading to 15.1.

Contrary to popular belief, it’s really easy to deal with this.

First, you have to create a codesign certificate, then you need to run a command to sign the app. There are instructions for that here: stackoverflow.com/questions/27. That’s right, you don’t have to pay for a developer account to do this.

Second, I noticed even after running the ‘—deep’ option on codesign, the app wouldn’t run. This is also really easy to fix, by typing: sudo xattr -r -d com.apple.quarantine AppName.app from the /Applications directory.

I have two aliases in my .zshrc for this process:

alias self-sign-dammit = ‘codesign -fs my-self-sign-certname —deep’
alias unquarantine='sudo xattr -r -d com.apple.quarantine'

That makes things quick with:
self-sign-dammit /Applications/TargetApplication.app
unquarantine /Applications/TargetApplication.app

note if you’re going to reply to this bitching about Apple or praising Linux, please kindly fuck off. Thanks!

Ah, here's my #Introduction
Hi, I'm Rebecca.
I (in no particular order) collect videogames and, work as a JS frontend developer, collect bootleg 80s toys and bootleg consoles, adore caffeine (working on that shrine), post pictures of me smiling on IG (and sometimes brands give me stuff for it), draw and have low blood tension.
Oh, yes, I'm a 45 yrs. old ace trans woman.
I love food and music, except when I don't.
This story is still developing, stay tuned, more to follow... #TwitterMigration
