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.

        I think Roblox can be a better platform, moderation at the moment is shit. If they had good mods and they cared about the players, under a socialist system, then it would be a good platform.

    I’ve never HAD to turn off system integrity for any reason, and I download all sorts of dodgy software from disreputable authors. It’s annoying as heck to micromanage permissions for non-MAS apps but I don’t think disabling integrity is worth it

    We’ve been mucking around with how to pre-configure Raspberry Pis after flashing at $DAYJOB and basically, the way the Raspberry Pi Imager works is that it writes a firstrun.sh onto the SD card which gets run during first boot.

    How does it know to not run that script from the second boot onwards? Well, one of the lines in that script is:

    rm -f firstrun.sh

    …it deletes itself while it’s running. 🙃

    iirc this isn’t possible with roblox anyway? I mean, sober isn’t official so maybe you can get it to do that.

    Either way, glad to have you here! :D

        There are several different distro’s built on asahi IIRC, asahi is more of a Mac platform for distro’s than a distro itself if I understand the project correctly.

        Most distros build for ARM now. Disregard, I just realized we’re talking about Macs. 🤦

    i remember on OSX elcapitan I just had to duplicate and rename an app to launch it twice and run it in parallel. But maybe you can’t do it anymore ?
