often my solution. I usually touch 'ForbiddenFolder', then chmod the file a-x.

Yes, this does not unclutter the home folder, but it does keep a program from touching places I don't want it to.

I don't care to have the machine rm -rf'ing on its own.

1. because they know better. You don't have to understand it, for them to be right.

This comes from their years of experience. When you also get those years of experience, you may come to similar understanding.

Funny how a $20 cert is enough to prove identity and provide security for any domain on the web, but in order to run a calculator Apple hw, Apple HQ is the only entity on the planet capable of such complex security.

Contempt. use any apple device 2 updates back or more. you're screwed.

You would accept this in no other place in life, except that apple gives it for free, and puts a 'security' sticker on the box.

It's a racket. Planned obsolescence 2.0 - Users forced to update, update removes features, breaks working apps, breaks paid for ip ( literally removed from phones), apple blames the devs. bullshit.

All that, and not a single one here is surprised at zero days or trojans or malware that come right out of this process every week.

If it works, then why aren't we surprise when it doesn't?

Because we know it doesn't work.

It forces a change, where none is called for. Compatibility works both ways. What doesn't matter to me the lib dev, may for matter for someone else. The world is built on portable, flexible code, and pinning to something unnecessarily, breaks that one small part of the world. It's adding an unnecessary requirement. Life is hard enough.
