  • As long as you’re not looking for a good thumb typing experience.

    Ive also been digging for a good UMPC/Palmtop for bed usage, apparently GPD can make an ok touch typing experience, but their keyboards intended for thumb typing are horrible

    My 3DS XL in bed is so perfect, if I could just get a computer with a good thumb keyboard in that form factor! LMAO

    . 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.

    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

    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!”
