So. Homebrew is illegal now too, then?

EDIT: People seem to be misunderstanding this screenshot. This is me running a program installed by Brew and it being blocked by macOS Gatekeeper. You can see me executing it from the command line and you can see in the error message that Homebrew downloaded it. Although brew is in general working for me, this particular formula's app got blocked. After making the post I resolved the problem and do not need help.

I am never going to stop being angry at the people who told me, when I said around 2010 that Gatekeeper was the end of the Macintosh and possibly the end of all computers, that there was nothing to worry about because they'd never remove that third "run any software" option from the control panel

@mcc I was an Apple user from 1992 onward but over the last decade I've slowly switched to a Windows user -- and WSL was the final thing that broke me free of Apple, as a developer. I also switched from iPhone to Android after many iPhones. I used every version of Windows from 3.11 onward and hated everything up until 8.1. I would never have thought I'd become a Microsoft "fan" 😱​
