When I first heard of this safety measure, I thought it was going to interrupt things *typed* into Terminal and wasn’t happy about it. But I’m fine with Apple interrupting pasted commands, even though my site may be a place from which users are copying those commands.

@drdrang Great goodness. That popup looks like it itself could be the malware. Can’t wait to hear the Johns’s (@gruber, @siracusa) reaction to Tahoe’s continued assault on our eyes and souls.

And I hope this thing can be killed with the appropriate defaults override by those of us who want it dead, dead, dead.

@osullivan @drdrang @gruber @siracusa The phrasing of "try and harm” is perhaps incorrect or clumsy.

@pmcg @osullivan @gruber @siracusa So many people write "try and” instead of "try to” that I'm only mildly annoyed when I see it now.

@drdrang @osullivan @gruber @siracusa I am really annoyed to the point of exclaiming to internet Mac celebrities!
