Oof looks like they’re down for the count on top of it

Well did you file a report with your safety officer‽

. It’s not a walled garden in any way, shape, or form.

MacOS gatekeeper is the first step they’re taking towards it, it’s not yet a walled garden, but they want it to be and have a plan to get there.

It’s a full, true UNIX desktop OS.

If that were true, then root should be absolute, but it isn’t on MacOS. Between SIP and other new “For your security and protection” features, root has taken a back seat and has been completely neutered.

If a company can’t get their proprietary software working because of arbitrary restrictions, they’re going to buy a Windows device next time.

They already have something in place for that, it’s called the Apple Developer Enterprise Program

They’ve got a plan to build the wall around MacOS and they’re executing it, it’s not going to be an overnight thing, but it’s coming

don’t recognise the walled garden problem, because I’m on macOS, where software walled gardens do not exist

Really, so you haven’t noticed that root hasn’t really been root lately? Or that it’s been getting harder to install software from outside the MacOS app store with each update? They’re not stupid, they’re not going to do it all at once, they’re doing it bit by bit.

Mark my words, there will be a day in the short term when you go to install something outside the MacOS app store and you’ll get a “Can’t do that without a paid Apple dev account” error, at best

It’s also confusing to single out macOS (which has better third-party repos than Windows by absolute leagues), when iOS is right there.

Once again, iOS being a walled garden is an improvement to what was before and I’m not advocating for Windows in any sense of the word

negates the sheer cost of being in a app walled garden on a PC

You don’t seem to want to address the walled garden problem, which flies directly in the face of user choice and freedom as much as the problems with the hardware does.

Trump promoters also suddenly went quiet the day after the election.

I wish

Swap in “iPhone”, and nothing changes.

The iPhone was an improvement to what was before, trying to make MacOS into a walled garden is going backwards

Nobody is calling support for Windows, fuck windows to, but nothing you said negates the sheer cost of being in a app walled garden on a PC, the obliteration of upgradeability and near 0 repairability

If your SSD dies or you start needing more RAM for your workflow Apples position is, essentially, “Get a new laptop, fuck the environment!”
