    As much as I dislike Apple, I must disagree with the "No free software" and "No installing apps from the web" parts - these are slightly exaggerated.

    @flamesdivide I think you're lacking double quotes on "for our own good" :p

    The general public, probably.
    but the devrant community, probably not ;)

    @kamen You understand that they probably mean free as in open source/freedom and not price? :).

    @linuxxx yeah, free as in freedom [orchestral music enters, a sun with richard stallman's face on it slowly rises behind the mountains]

    Sounds like hogwash. Why shouldn't it be possible to install free (as in both free beer and free rant from Stallman) software on a mac? Devs do that all the time.

    Apple is taking steps to limit non-App Store apps, such as removing the 'Allow from Everywhere" option in System Preferences by default in macOS Sierra. So, yes, they are limiting free and open source software.

    @linuxxx Yeah, now that I look at it again, that's GNU's icon. Haven't tried Sierra, but from what I read, it can be reverted to allow installs from anywhere and many freeware apps are available outside of the App Store.

    @lotd I'd say roughly 100% of Mac users run a variant of BSD.
