You can get Veracrypt to work with the Mac, via FUSE, but I don't know how safe/robust that is. It's probably more secure than anything Apple has. It's certainly more secure than anything Microspot has.
But, yeah, it's getting extremely irritating that useful stuff is being taken out of commercial OS' and junk put in.
There's no known client, but there is a very good unknown client:

Whether it has all the official features, I don't know. But that's your best bet.
Finding a new encrypted filesystem must be upsetting you.
Apple's official method is multi-step.
First, you decrypt the volume - you control-click the disk and click Decrypt. Wait for it to decrypt (takes hours).
Then you convert it to APFS, the current filesystem Apple uses.
Then you enable encryption on APFS and wait for it to encrypt.
Chances are the HFS+ encryption is likely outdated and weak and sometimes it's better to not pretend. Or it was a hacked addon to HFS+ which didn't support it initially. Like how fscrypt is on Linux where support is added to ext filesystems. APFS natively supports encryption and getting rid of a filesystem layer to simplify things would add security.

Yes, what would you like to be in these files?
Could it please implicate every member of the federal government in whichever party I choose, so that I can throw the next election to whoever promises to fix the inefficient traffic lights near my house? Thanks.
A bus comes by here and I live in the sticks.
Now if it only came more often than every two hours, or took less than 45 minutes to do what takes 20 by car...
This level of aversion to having to "slum it with the masses" where every last bastion where you might come across a person with a 5 figure income is systemically avoided
So the much the same as those with 5 figure incomes who drive rather than take public transit to avoid the homeless people.
I'm not convinced those people exist. Rather, the people with 5-figure income can afford to take a car, so why would they willingly walk for ten minutes to the nearest bus stop and then spend an hour on two different modes of public transit to go somewhere that takes fifteen minutes by car?
I'm also not convinced that very many people exist who would pay $5k a year to go through a different entrance to the airport just so that they don't interact with anybody who isn't in the six-figure club.
That said, I'll admit that having someone drive me to the gate would be nice, assuming it is efficient. Unfortunately, realistically, it won't be unless they build the private terminal on top of or under the main terminal or otherwise provide a cart path that doesn't interact with pedestrian traffic in the main terminal).
I can only assume that the food would be free and readily available like in an Admiral's club (though I suppose you're paying for it, so not truly free), so having something like this at connecting airports would be great, but far less useful at either endpoint.
If they include prepaid valet service for your car as part of the cost so you can just drive up and they'll whisk you to the gate straight from your car with only a brief stop at the security checkpoint, it could have some value — not enough value to spend an extra fifteen to thirty minutes and fly out of SFO, mind you, but some value.
I can't imagine it being worth $5k a year, though, so what I'd expect is that honeymooners will do it as a once-in-a-lifetime way to be treated like they're important, and all the people with money will continue to do their usual.
Plenty of us nerds can afford this and want to see news about this.
Can't be maintained? Lol
Your brain can only handle so many relationships and after that you start forgetting people.
If you fill those slots by learning a bunch of shit about people you'll never meet or know then they're just wasted.
Interpersonal relationships started going downhill when celebrity became, ironically, common.
HFS+ was introduced with MacOS 8.1 in the late 90s. It doesn't even support dates past the year 2040. It makes sense for them to start phasing it out.
They aren't doing that.
Apple adds that "macOS 28 and later will continue to support unencrypted volumes that use Mac OS Extended format," and notes "Mac OS Extended is also known as HFS Plus (or HFS+)."
You wrote two comments in this discussion, and they are both utter bullshit.
They're not removing encryption support
Except they are. That is the one and only thing they are doing. They just aren't removing it from filesystems you care about, and you don't care about other people.
They're only dropping it from their deprecated 1990s-era filesystem.
And yet they are not dropping support for that filesystem without encryption, which is why Apple is literally doing what you said they are not doing. Not only can't you handle more than one button, you also can't handle more than one idea.
No, SOME users want that unrestricted free-for-all.
Moving the goalposts. Get a real argument.
This is the fantasy of a child.
And a coward, to boot. Fixing things is hard, burning everything down is easy, but then comes the regret
Sadly, the cheats and the pirates are going to force Irdeto's hand and end up disabling games that were previously playable in Proton.
False. Their changes won't prevent Denuvo from being broken again, so there is no hand-forcing, just a lot of them using that hand to jack off.
If we want things to improve we have to make a responsible choice sometimes and not choose our base desires to blow everything up and then throw our hands up and question why we're surrounded by ashes.
We don't, though. Some of us do, but many want things to not just stay the same but go backwards, to a time when they personally were doing better... or thought they were.
