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
This is, by the way, why you should trust *nothing* Google says about how "Web Environment Integrity" has safeguards against abuse. The pro-user safeguards are there to be removed! The moment the users have bought into the program, the safeguards aren't needed anymore! That's how these things work! That's the only way these things work!
@mcc what is it with some humans wanting to trap each other
@lritter @mcc
Corporation != Humans
@prasoon @mcc right i forgot those are operated by robots
@lritter @mcc more like psychopaths. Fits the profile quite remarkably; well within the expected psychopathy percentage of the human population.
Executives need institutional support from a society with good public healthcare systems.
@prasoon @mcc right and psychopaths aren't humans, they have like two hearts and their brains are in their bums
@lritter @mcc Ah! I seem to have somehow offended you. Didn't mean to. To extend your analogy, it would be like looking at a blind person and arriving at the conclusion that humans are blind.
It's a self-fulfilling prophecy to say "one cannot trust others" so wanted to assure you that humans are quite kind by default, unkind behaviour is the exception but it is also easy to tip the scales (eg when I spend time on Twitter I end up perpetuating hate)
Meant no disrespect.
@prasoon @mcc *frantically edits original post*
@lritter A kind edit I hope :)
