![]() ![]() Thanks genius Apple engineers! You all ought to have your pay cut in half for the brain-dead user interface that shows nothing about why things don’t work-you folks with contempt for people who use your crappy software. SpamSieve cost me 5 hours or f'ing around to get it to work (I blame Apple Mail not SpamSieve!)-turns out that the Mail folder (my own#$*#$*#$* data, not Apple’s playground!!!) cannot be stored anywhere but the boot drive, or Mail extensions won’t load.That’s like tossing 25 $20 bills over the edge of the Grand Canyon while farting in the wind. It is $500 to “upgrade” to a version with unknown issues and with absolutely no new value. I will have to use it on the 2019 iMac 5K for now. My accounting software is dead in the water (32 bit).Most users probably are running SoftRAID version 5.6.8, because macOS Crapalina won’t run the newer version, even if installed unless special steps are taken, e.g., to disable the very feature that is causing the problem-and this is an intimidating process for most. What good is Secure Boot if you cannot even use it? There exists no alternative to disabling it. SoftRAID requires disabling Secure Boot due to a last-minute Apple clusterfuck anti-design decision.And that’s setting aside all the stuff that is now broken and just doesn’t work and the huge cost of paying for “upgrades” to some of that. Apple is thus training ordinary users to always just click out of desperation the closest thing to “ save me please go away I am sick of this hopeless stuff impossible to understand” button. How many ordinary users know what to do in response to any of the myriad security dialogs, how to go fix problems deep in System Preferences.How hard is it to include a VM at least for compatibility? The contempt Apple shows for users knows no bounds. I’d bet there are many IT departments that are very very busy right now, and universities and similar probably have all sorts of custom software that Crapalina effectively destroys. Don’t get me started on nf and myriad other side effects of the security changes-and it’s going to get worse, much worse, by mid-year as Apple doubles-down on code notarization. ![]() How many security dialogs have I had to do? Maybe 100? For WHAT exactly? And the task NEVER ends.I have now spent an entire day unfucking all sorts of problems all instigated by Catalina. What a nightmare from a software perspective, due to macOS Catalina and the Apple contempt for users manifest in removing 32-bit support, and that’s just for starters. Damn, let me run macOS Mojave instead of macOS Catalina because Crapalina shits the bed (a rough translation of a European expression). I mean that-nothing else compares.īut the Mac Pro is hardware that comes with turdware ( macOS Catalina). To my eyes, the 2019 Mac Pro is the most elegant and beautiful Apple product ever designed. I correct errors, and continue to be appreciative of your work.- SEND FEEDBACK Related: 2019 Mac Pro, Apple, Apple Core Rot, Apple macOS, Apple macOS Catalina, Mac Pro, security This setup seems to work just fine: there are very few false negatives or positives generated. Mine is an IMAP account from a local ISP ( here in Santa Cruz), which as far as I can see has little or no server-side filtering. I’ve been using SpamSieve since 2008, and now have a drone setup running SpamSieve 2.9.48 in Mail.app 16.0 under macOS Monterey (at my desk computer), with an iPhone SE (2020) and an older MacBook Air (macOS Catalina) for running around and travel. ![]()
