    I can tell this meme is old because windows does the same shit MacOS does now and has been since at least Windows 10

      Nah I use both pretty regularly and I’m fairly sure macOS still makes you do the “nope sorry, press ok, go into system settings, security panel, become admin and click trust this unknown publisher” thing

      Windows still just does the same safescreen thing they’ve been doing for ages now: “windows stopped this unknown thing from running, wanna run it anyway?”

        Just like I have to go into windows defender settings and add exclusions (trust) to anything it deems suspicious

          That is only when it was flagged as malware.

          Defender is usually really great at defining malware and has little false positives. So you better watch out if you have to de-quarantine it.

        It’s been a year since I had to support Apple devices, but IIRC if you hold command, right click, and choose Run, it should add the executable to the trusted apps list.
