It seems like GitHub did the right thing, though, before you get the pitchforks out! So,...

Comment Many people have written about the repeated screen recording permission prompts in macOS 15 and I mostly agree with the negative coverage. There is some potentially good news coming in 15.1, with the promise of even less frequent prompts if you regularly use an app. That seems like a reasonable compromise, and is probably where Appleโs iteration on this feature will end. But I also liked Matthias Gansriglerโs...
