Since It’s All About Me, when I read this and this about new security features coming in Mac OS Sequoia, I couldn’t help thinking of my recent misadventures with my hosting provider, in which unannounced changes to their security procedures borked a workflow I had been using for a decade.

One of the chief things we learned in the Covid era was that there’s no arguing with people who do anything in the name of security and safety. Those terms are the ultimate conversation-stoppers. You’re not even allowed to ask whether the new politices and procedures actually do make us more safe and secure, much less ask what other goods should be considered when we’re implementing policies.

Well, one thing I know for sure: I won’t be installing Sequoia anytime soon.
