No two Linux package managers are identical either, and not all Linux distributions work like Debian. Debian is a collection of volunteers. The choice to trust it is no different to the choice to trust Homebrew. Considering the package ma

MacOS has third party software. MacOS has homebrew as an open source package manager.
123.
by zepto 5y ago
By that logic MacOS doesn’t have any third party software at all.

If you don’t include homebrew, as a package manager for MacOS, then you aren’t having a serious conversation. This whole line of conversation is about whether it’s necessary to manually install python. If you claim it is you are lying, beca

Looks like you just misread it. The linked piece supports what I said, and nowhere says what you claimed.

You quote a marketing slogan. “Missing” in the sense that Apple doesn’t ship it. > Apple doesn't have a package manager so it has to be a manual installation. The quoted statement is clearly false. To maintain that python has to b

It isn’t an effective tool. It has completely undermined the BLM protests.

No, it just means we don’t have to make excuses for riots, and the protestors could leave the area where riots are happening, to make their intentions clear. If riots are a “mistake”, then protestors should be admitting that, rather than at

“solely” is the word you are missing.
133.
by zepto 5y ago
This is false. Homebrew is no different from any other open source package manager. There is no need for a manual installation.

What sources did you use?

by zepto 5y ago
Given that Apple was able to outgrow Microsoft despite this so called monopoly, that seems quite reasonable.

Who was shipping a free compiler in the Microsoft era?

Who said anything about the third world? Highly qualified workers from Europe still come to the US too.

You are just wrong. Its 15% until you have more than $1M in revenue.

It’s not 30% for the vast majority of developers.

That paragraph means that the law is not interpreted the way you are reading it.

It doesn’t seem like a problem at all. You seem to be just saying that without explaining it. The communication is not being done using software that Apple provides. People have a vast array of choices for communications and Apple isn’t ha

Why didn’t you include the next paragraph? You seem to be ignoring 130 years of law that happened since what you are quoting. Courts quickly began struggling with the Sherman Act's broad and vague language, recognizing that interpreti

There is no serious analysis that presents this scenario with any certainty.

Easily avoided if you care, by simply buying Android. Apple can’t stop that.
