Apple liberates us from freedom and we love them for it.
- freyrs3 14y agoIt's a false dichotomy and a broad generalization to assume that non-free software is somehow more polished or of higher quality. Quality software and free software are two very broad categories which are generally not correlated. There is plenty of awful non-free software just like there is plenty of awful free software.
- Vitaly 14y agoits not that non-free software is more polished, its just that Apple software is more polished. I don't care for the freedom that much as long as I still have my linux servers and mac laptop on which I can literally install anything, but I really can't bear the lack of polish of an Android device. each time I have to touch any of those makes me cringe. its not that apple if without problems, but after using apple for a while its really hard to go back. you kind of expect the level of polish not found anywhere else.
