You’re just replacing one set of problems with a different set of problems. Linux isn’t a panacea. It has its own set of meaningful issues that make it an unattractive option to a lot of people. I do agree at least that not enough people ev

The difference is that Apple runs the App Store and agreed to allow app developers to opt out of publishing their apps to the Mac App Store. In order to facilitate that they had to implement DRM. Being able to run arbitrary code doesn'

That's a good point and it's something I did overlook, despite complaining about it when they changed this. I would argue though that this is DRM just like Denuvo is for video games or widevine for a lot of streaming content and w

What constitutes an adult color scheme for you? Why do rounded corners offend you? Are there examples of what you think are appropriately designed products or websites? This sounds needlessly derisive.
