That 'simpler lifestyle' only works until they force something that you can't abide by, and by that point it's too late. Personally I can't even tolerate that

That 'simpler lifestyle' only works until they force something that you can't abide by, and by that point it's too late. Personally I can't even tolerate that there's only one hardware manufacturer and one source of software. That never ends well for consumers.
- mark_l_watson 12y agoI feel like I am not really trapping myself in the Apple ecosystem because the things that I use (web browser, emacs, IDEs for Java, Clojure, Ruby) are available on Linux. I just don't use my Linux laptop very much since the Apple experience is more polished. I do agree with your comment in general. That is, for non-tech computer users, moving off Apple's platforms would be difficult after years of use.
