It's wild to see people supporting this bizarre anti-security response. Not only are they dragging their feet in fixing the security issue, they're actively reverting any manual fixes silently with each new update. That's legitimately worse than doing nothing at all! It's also disconcerting to see folks advocate for the "let's wait to fix this critical security issue because we want to make it slightly easier in the future" approach, as if Apple is incapable of deleting ~12 lines from a file as part of the normal patch release? If they can revert your manual fixes, they obviously ship that file and so could have shipped a fix with that file. Genuinely disturbing to support any of this.

I don't think it's controversial to say that there are a lot of Apple zealots here.

Which is kinda wild considering there's also a lot of openness zealots, too. People advocating for open source hardware, software, right to repair, etc.

This place can have both openness zealots and apple zealots
These may not be the same people but sometimes they are
I have an apple device and I like its hardware at its price. My brother gifted it to me and my father had an accident with it once which caused it to fall on pure concrete. Other laptops would have been broken but for this it was a tis but a scratch moment
But I am an openness zealot by heart. I can mix and match
In this particular instance though. Shame on apple for not taking any steps and maybe actively fighting against it. I don’t understand why! I hope that they definitely do something about it
Please, Apple, break the process on getting a fix out for this. I want to stop doing a morning check in with my team about certs.
