macOS unable to open any non-Apple application

Don't you love it the ability to compile and run software on your hardware is controlled by a third party over the internet?

I sure love the SAAS future we are heading forwards.

I will be a full on linux junkie when that happens.

It IS, though. SmartScreen on Windows doesn't check binaries created on the same machine, but you'll get flagged if you move the untrusted binary to another machine you own.

Note that SmartScreen has an UI that lets you bypass it without having to disable it system wide, and has a sane timeout (I believe 30 seconds) after which it just pops up a dialogue box telling you that it can't check the binary, allowing you to continue.

What the hell? You have to wait 30 seconds before you can run unsigned code on Windows without calling home to Microsoft about it? How is that considered sane? (I mean, forking on windows is slow but it's not that slow.)

How do people (and corporations! Especially ones sensitive to sharing IP!) put up with this stuff?!

Smart screen and other measures on windows are so useless that they just encourage consumers to engage in bad security practices.

I downloaded steam from the steam page, windows blocked it. I downloaded Chrome, windows blocked it. What's even the fucking point?
