"there are other options."
Until the day when there aren't other options -- which isn't so difficult to understand, really.
- acdc4life 6y agoSlippery slope, with all evidence pointing to the contrary. Apple will never have a monopoly, linux will always be an alternative.
- makapuf 6y agoNot on apple hardware however.
- rbrtl 6y agoSo... don't buy it? Unless you think it's the best hardware on the market at the best price point. And what makes you so important that every hardware provider has to bend to your will? I can't run Shor's Algorithm on my Raspberry Pi, whose fault is that?
- Razengan 6y agoAlright. How will there be no other options one day?
- Razengan 6y agoAs expected, no answer.
- rbrtl 6y agoHow will Apple take away your options? That's what's difficult to understand. Either the FOSS/DIY approach has merit and will continue to thrive, or it'll die because it becomes impractical, neither of those courses have anything to do with Apple trying to prevent Joe Bloggs becoming a node in a botnet. EDIT: > isn't so difficult to understand, really You may be confusing "understand" with "imagine"

- ulisesrmzroche 6y agoThen why don't you rail on Linux? If one day there won't be any other options left, why not aim that way? Presumably that's a worse betrayal
