I tried running a 2nd instance of Roblox simultaneously on macos 15 with another account but this shows up, if my mac can handle it then why can’t it just let me do it? If I have two copies of an app like Roblox in separate User/Applications folders, macos moves them to the /Applications/ folder.

Sometimes it won’t run apps claiming to be corrupted, so I then have to do sudo xattr -cr /Applications/someapp.app in the terminal and they run perfectly fine. It always nags me if I download apps from anywhere but mac app store. Some of these messages can only be gotten rid of by disabling system integrity protection, but then macos blocks you from running MAS apps due to having “permissive security”.

I don’t daily drive macOS anymore, I switched to Linux on my M1 mac where I can do whatever the hell I want.

      Honestly, instead of playing shitty clones of games made with child labor through roblox, just play the original games they’re cloning.

      Couple of weeks ago I was at a friends place for dinner and the son was playing Roblox. Everyone in the room except him knew he was playing a WoW clone. His dad even told him, “you know I’ll buy you a subscription if you wanna play the real game instead of a shitty clone”

      Don’t play Roblox. Its just cheap imitations made with child labor.

        I guess underaged people can’t earn money because it will be child labour… 🤦

        Roblox isn’t only about “shitty clones”. Just let people play whatever they want. Just let passionate underaged devs gain money instead of companies.

    NGL that smiley face from Finder looks so condescending lmao. My wife’s laptop is a Mac and it’s hilarious every time how it shows up so often. Like Clippy from Word lol.

    I love when I try to open a file and macOS tells me I can’t because can’t tell if it’s safe. There’s literally no way to open it from here.

    You have to hit ok, then go so settings, scroll down to security, and hit a button to specify yes I actually want to open this file. It then reprompts you again but now with an open anyway button.

    I love my MacBook’s hardware and battery life, but MacOS is such a letdown.

      xattr -d com.apple.quarantine path/to/file will remove that shit.

      Though personally, I get as much software as possible on my work MacBook through Nix, and only use .dmg files if absolutely required.

    Mac OS sucks but this is a Roblox problem not a Mac OS problem. Btw they recently blocked linux on Roblox so good luck playing that.

    NGL I think whatever you’re trying to do is either a limitation of the Roblox install or something else that isn’t specifically an OS X issue. The file permission stuff sounds weird and I’d reevaluate what you’re trying to do and if the approach is correct, especially if you’re going to have to turn off operating system security features to get it to work.

        It’s obfuscated but not officially blocked. Their site is asahilinux.org. It’s not worth getting a macbook for yet imo , but it’s still super impressive, especially the graphics drivers. There are issues with Mac’s built in security stuff but that just means the fingerprint reader and probably some other stuff doesn’t work.
