Craig is facing a potential ban by Apple due to non human reactions leading to a flagging of his dev account
If no human at apple sees this by 30th June MacOS updates will be cooked
He's asking for anyone on Twitter, presumably with a good following to retweet
I saw this. App stores sure aren't looking like a good way to do software.
I thought they would help against fraud and scams! Apparently not
Great time to change your Mac for another machine and use Linux
I use System 76
update:
Soooo wallets before updates r good still right... right...
yah.. it's a "continued development" thing as far as I can tell.
what doesn't make sense to me is why Craig can't just continue to make software for people who use it. seems like 'begging permission' energy, and I don't mean it rudely... but what would Satoshi have done?
I assume it's due to wanting to avoid the "this application was downloaded from the internet from an untrusted source" popup when launching Sparrow. But surely you can just have people dismiss that? Not sure...
Seeing the windowsfication trend at OSX spreading ever more has been concerning.
As much as I loved OSX until around Snow Leopard or Lion, I'm glad I dumped it for Linux years ago. If anything, I should've done it earlier rather than cling on and hope for a magical change of direction.
