It never ceases to amaze me how much free engineering effort is expended to work around Apple's resistance to open source and power user hostility.

- kitsunesoba 5y agoI would argue that the fact that sort of work on reverse engineering Apple’s products happens so consistently suggests that in some capacity, current open options aren’t meeting the needs of some number of highly technical users, and that for these users having to expend the effort required to bend Apple products is more appealing than accepting the trade offs that come with more open options.
- pxc 5y agoThe only time I've ever used stuff like this for is to support macOS users when I don't have Apple hardware to test on, or to bootstrap a Hackintosh (also used solely for supporting others who actually like macOS) when I don't have ready access to Apple hardware. I imagine that similar is true for many users of this project, although some others use it just to daily drive macOS on a configuration Apple doesn't sell.
