Yeah true. That’s actually a good point.

I don’t disagree with either of you but there is something ironic about what you said.
100% understood and agreed. I don’t want to defend the bad behavior. It is out there among questioners and in the experienced community alike. Just saying it is possible to find quality help there.
I see this hot take often, and it isn’t entirely without merit, but it is mitigated by moderation; in some Stack communities better than others. I’ve been an active member for many years, and in my view it goes like this.
If you contribute a question without reading the rules and How to Ask a Good Question, you don’t provide minimal reproducible steps with code, post images of code, etc. you may get flamed out of town. And that may feel bad and it may be mean if the questioner didn’t know to read those. But they are there for you.
If, however, you ask a thoughtful question, give examples, show what you’ve tried, etc. you definitely can get quality, courteous help.
Doesn’t change that video killed the radio star here. The show is over.
It’s good enough for me.
I agree, but I’d take it a step further and say we need legislation to far surpass the current conditions. For instance, I think it should be governments leading the charge in this field, as a matter of societal progress and national security.
What are you on about? What you said simply is not true. At least, I’ve not once heard an Apple user state they wanted to be told what they were allowed to use. You either believe that, which would be stupid, or you don’t which would be disingenuous. You pick.
It may be a scumbag company, or its users a cult, but that doesn’t stop what you said from being stupid.
I don’t disagree with any of that. I only take issue with the quoted statement.
People buying Apple products want to be told by Apple what’s allowed.
I get that this crowd generally thinks Apple is hellspawn, in spite of also having devices made by other, also shitty corporations, but this is just a dumb thing to say. They’re just devices. Yes some of us prefer them. I didn’t switch after every mainline Android phone from G1 through Nexus and Pixel because I wanted a paternal imposition of allowed apps. Stupid fucking comment.
These days you never know, but I’m hopeful you’re tongue is in your cheek.
GNU / Linux :)
And all the other nazis do not see nazis.
Do they run on Windows ARM?
Apple’s ARM SoC’s were some of their best work yet in my view.
Greedy little pig boy
Imagine if Microsoft banned Windows users from downloading software outside the Microsoft store.
Imagine if Microsoft required all Software developers to give them 30% of their income or be banned from Windows
They were replying to the comparison to Windows. What are you on about?
Sure, Jan.
Imagine if Microsoft banned Windows users from downloading software outside the Microsoft store.
That was comparing desktop OS to mobile OS, which is why the person to which I replied pointed out this is different than macOS.
On your second point, neither is iOS a workstation, and one could just as easily say, “The only thing you’d want to install is mobile apps.” Okay but the problem isn’t the type of apps, it is the source of those apps. So either you should be able to get application / games from multiple sources or not.
If you think those initial downvotes were due to some pedantic distinction about workstation, and not because somebody indirectly implied that Microsoft and Apple were on similar footing in this regard, fine.
No, people do it both ways and you’ll even find both techniques by the pros. But anybody claiming it makes them more even I really don’t think is thinking it through. By adding the extra cut across those natural layers, you’re actually making to very small bits when the crosscut is near the layer boundary.
That’s why I think it is not only easier but superior not to add the crosscut.
