"there are other options."

Until the day when there aren't other options -- which isn't so difficult to understand, really.

Slippery slope, with all evidence pointing to the contrary. Apple will never have a monopoly, linux will always be an alternative.

Not on apple hardware however.

Then why don't you rail on Linux? If one day there won't be any other options left, why not aim that way? Presumably that's a worse betrayal

How will Apple take away your options? That's what's difficult to understand. Either the FOSS/DIY approach has merit and will continue to thrive, or it'll die because it becomes impractical, neither of those courses have anything to do with Apple trying to prevent Joe Bloggs becoming a node in a botnet.

EDIT:

> isn't so difficult to understand, really

You may be confusing "understand" with "imagine"

Alright. How will there be no other options one day?

Razengan|5 years ago

As expected, no answer.
