ffs

The “Developer 16" MacBook Pro” that my employer sent me does not give me admin privileges and I am not in its sudoers file, so I cannot accept the license terms for #Apple’s #Xcode Command Line Tools, preventing me from running such basics as git.

Also, #Docker Desktop for Mac is not available via the #Jamf “Self Service+” app, only #Podman. Even though the former is available from the #Microsoft #Intune Company Portal on #Windows and I have a license for it.

And even Podman Desktop can’t be set up fully because of the lack of admin privileges.

I repeat: ffs

#Mac #macOS

@frederic I am not going to fight to set up workarounds on a machine that they ostensibly sent me to do work for them.

@mjg There are ways to properly deploy Xcode on a managed device. https://www.jamf.com/blog/managed-xcode-deployment/ It is disgraceful that you have to point that out to your IT team though. You can't be the first with problem?
Deploying Xcode on managed devices

Learn how to deploy Xcode on managed devices using the App Store or via policy.

@scriptingosx Thank you. I confess that I didn’t realize the complexities involved, but I’ll pass the article along.

@mjg That's insanity. It seems that building programs that by design kill all Appl€ processes is a must, even as a self digital defense measure.

@mjg That sounds like a problem your employer created…
