And the great "cleaning out my attic" of source code continues.
I wrote this several years ago due to Photoshop and friends launching 500MB+ of helper apps which stay around forever.

@marcedwards I didn't find anything, but I'm also running an older version of Creative Cloud on Sonoma (I don't update apps until I can verify my workflow won't break).
You might want to try:
`find /Applications/Utilities -name "*Adobe*" -print0 | xargs -0 grep -d recurse "Cloud WAM"`
I'm guessing they probably have some shell script that's making the entry.
@linuxandyarn @marcedwards At least on my machine, Adobe adds some items to /Library/PrivilegedHelperTools. These will have root access.
@marcedwards I'll try to do a quick search when I get back to my computer and try to figure out which helper/agent/daemon is modifying this. Maybe there is a default to disable it.
@marcedwards I haven't experienced this yet, but I also kill any Adobe daemons when Photoshop/Illustrator/etc aren't running. I wonder if that makes the difference.
@lapcatsoftware At least on 18, Reduce Motion will replace the "Swipe Up" home gesture with a delayed cross-fade, which is annoying.
The fix is to use Accessibility -> "Per-App Settings" to turn off Reduce Motion for "Home Screen & App Library".
@daringfireball Historically, you have been able to copy `/System/Library/Fonts/Apple Color Emoji.ttc` from a newer OS and install it as a user font. I'm not sure if this still works in Sequoia or later, however.
@lapcatsoftware Allow users on older versions of iOS to purchase the last compatible version. It's one of my most frequent support requests, and the main reason that I still support iOS 15.
@lapcatsoftware I have something similar that I use to monitor and inject into processes (using the Endpoint Security method).
Ammonia uses frida-gum to inject into launchd and sets DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES that way. (Frida is a fantastic toolset for reverse engineering!)
If you have any interest in code injection on macOS, I've made two demo repositories with write-ups:
https://github.com/iccir/ESInjectorDemo
Demonstrates Saagar Jha's method of using Endpoint Security to inject into a newly-launched process.
https://github.com/iccir/ThreadInjectorDemo
Demonstrates the "traditional" way of injecting into an already-running process via thread_create_running().
