The walled garden makes sense on the phone, but I’m not clear what you’re thinking of for macOS
I just went to videolan.org and libreoffice.org over Thanksgiving to download and install them on my cousin’s MacBook
I have to click through ten million pop ups to have macOS "trust" it. It makes me hate myself
That's true and annoying. There is a terminal command to disable all that though
oh I would love to learn what that command is
sudo spctl --master-disableand/or--global-disableStill usually less clicks than most windows installers though. (Personally I hate all 3 OS's more or less equally)
Actually no. Not really. Also there is no more braindead argument than "I hate all of x equally". Form a real fucking opinion
There's no opinion to form. They all suck absolute donkey balls in their own unique ways.
I'm an Android fan, but I do like the walled garden for iPhones. There are so many people who just do not understand how to protect their privacy online, and phones are a treasure trove of personal information. I've no doubt that the tight controls on iOS have saved many people from identity theft due to their own negligence. That, combined with the ease of use and the superior accessibility features over Android makes iPhone the better choice for older generations who don't understand technology as well.
The problem is that you are trusting Apple completely.
I'm not trusting Apple at all, I exclusively use degoogled Android.
Me too
I would agree that a reasonably locked down device helps certain audiences stay secure, but to me that always sounds like a convenient excuse. Surely they could at least implement some way to regain control, even if that meant having to unlock the boot-loader and flashing the device, which is not something your average person would/could do.
