I agree that coding is a degenerate behavior.

The vast majority of people can indeed learn to program - they are just told that they can't and they should leave it up to the proprietary master.

A few decades ago it was discovered that secretaries learned to program in the Church of Emacs, when provided a manual how to use the editor, which they did not hesitate to follow, as it didn't say that want they were doing was programming.

>The myriad excellent software options available on a Mac
The jokes write themselves.

For software to be excellent, a prerequisite is not being proprietary malware.

You can quite easily have a functionally good program that is a disaster, as it takes the users freedom - which is clearly not excellent.

>it’s a pity you can’t use them because your rigidly restrictive proprietary mindset says so
It's not a pity that I haven't surrendered my freedom to apple.

That's like writing that declining to put your arms and feet into shackles and gleefully taking any abuse is a "rigidly restrictive proprietary mindset".

>is maliciously stupid advice in the era of 24/7 networking
It's something called not exposing the program to the internet via a firewall you keep updated.

>will inevitably cause compatibility problems as soon as you want to run a newer program.
The absolute state of the macos-addled brain.

As there are no proprietary restrictions, it doesn't matter what version of unrelated programs you have installed - you can have the most bleeding edge packages installed next to 20 year old software on the GNU system with no issues.

Even if you do have some old program with a cursed old dependencies, you do something called moving all the needed .so files into the same directory, or throwing the old program in a chroot with the old library versions and it will continue to work forever.

>computing experience on Linux, the operating system.
A false claim doesn't become true just because you repeat it over and over - that is a toddler level of thinking.

>macOS predates iOS you dingus.
All apple users have mentally been (i)toddlers ever since apple targeted the "market" of the hopeless.
