Yeah, I’ve been noticing an alarming number of casks marked to be depreciated… at the same time gatekeeper has gotten so restrictive it won’t let me (easily) open a video files that I downloaded from the internet
Yeah, I noticed the same on my Macbook. I mainly use it for theater stuff (Qlab) and remoting into my main Windows desktop environment. I just stopped doing some of the workflows on Mac and do them on Windows because I didn't feel like trying to figure out why macOS wouldn't let GIMP open an image I downloaded from the internet. So dumb.
- try the usual tricks (holding alt and right clicking, i guess), no
- drag and drop file into Code, no
- right click>get info, lo and behold: the entire file contents displayed in the Get Info preview pane for me to copy
I'm actually getting a Windows laptop to do some testing on and i might just abandon Mac for the most part after that. Eating up five minutes of my day to figure out how to edit a file i created myself is just too much sometimes

Im still on intel, and its ok here, but once I switch, will there be constant headaches and fumbling around because of this?
