But then the logical solution is to not buy Apple? I like the garden walls. If you don't like them, find your own garden, don't shake your fist at my walls.

- ghusto 1y agoSure, we'll all just go ahead and build the third walled garden with all the billions we have lying around. This "just don't buy Apple then" argument is disingenuous and I'm tired of hearing it. Apple et al. want the benefits of being utilities without the regulations that go with it. If my _bank_ requires me to use one of two OSs, the corporations that control them can not claim all the freedoms private companies do.
- FredPret 1y agoTake it up with your bank. That's a legitimate issue. But the last thing Apple wants is to be a commoditized utility and it's hardly their fault if your bank does this.

Works out of the box and has the safe shiny mac app store for the normies but still offers a full unix experience for people who know what they are doing. And the sky doesn’t fall. In fact I had this with my iphone when I had it jailbroken until I got too version locked.
