As a GNU/Linux-libre user, I find it interesting how much Windows users flame Mac for being "closed". Am I missing something here? Is their definition of "closed" radically different from mine?

@omni I thought we Windows users flame Macs for being overpriced.
Monday, 10-Dec-12 16:54:05 UTC from web-
@redenchilada That as well. But hey, everyone who knows how much something is worth does that.
Monday, 10-Dec-12 16:57:19 UTC from web-
@omni But dude, look at that shiny logo. That's completely worth the cost.

@redenchilada An apple becomes worthless as soon as you put it next to a penguin. Just saying.
Monday, 10-Dec-12 17:01:30 UTC from web-
@omni ...What the heck are you talking about. Penguins don't eat apples.
Monday, 10-Dec-12 17:02:19 UTC from web-
@redenchilada Not? Well, crap. There goes my argument. No, wait, I can still save this! BSD can rescue me! *ahum* I meant to say "Tasmanian Devil".
Monday, 10-Dec-12 17:03:45 UTC from web-
@omni No, no, no, BSD is perfectly fine!
Monday, 10-Dec-12 17:04:37 UTC from web-
@kamikaze ITT: @omni learns that BSD users really are like "Hey, this is my system, and I like it, but whatever you use is cool too".
Monday, 10-Dec-12 17:05:47 UTC from web-
@omni Plus the modern Mac OS runs on a BSD kernel.
Monday, 10-Dec-12 17:06:58 UTC from web-
@toksyuryel No it doesn't.

@toksyuryel having some BSD code inside doesn't make it a BSD. Or would you call Windows a BSD?
Monday, 10-Dec-12 17:14:50 UTC from web-
@kamikaze I have always heard it described as being a BSD kernel. What would you describe it as?
Monday, 10-Dec-12 17:17:07 UTC from web-
@toksyuryel A mach kernel?
Monday, 10-Dec-12 17:17:39 UTC from web-
@kamikaze Isn't that a BSD kernel though?

@omni That still doesn't make any sense!

@redenchilada Your face doesn't make any sense!

@omni A demented and stoned looking penguin. :P

@omni I was just about to say that the same happens if you put an Apple-prodct next to a Linux-product, but then I took an arrow to the knww >3>

@omni What are you up to? o3o

@derpyshy I am wondering why Freenet is so terribly slow. I mean, after 5 hours of downloading, I've received about 25% of a 90kb file. Even though Freenet is obviously slower than our "normal" Internet due to the decentralized structure, this is more extreme than I'm used to. I've had it load practically instantly before. I also appear to be torrenting Trisquel (according to my Torrent client) and, as always, am listening to music. I guess I should write a bit for my book.
Monday, 10-Dec-12 18:29:56 UTC from web-
@omni What book? o,o

@omni The file you're downloading might be very new or very unpopular.
Monday, 10-Dec-12 18:32:05 UTC from web-
@toksyuryel I guess it's somewhat unpopular. Then again, I suspect that the fact that I've been accepted by 1 node and declined by about 250 doesn't exactly make it much easier to download the file I want.

@omni They are probably referring to the walled-garden approach Apple uses along with how restrictive they are on the hardware.
Monday, 10-Dec-12 16:54:14 UTC from web-
@toksyuryel Ah, that makes sense. I was somewhat confused because Windows isn't an open platform either.

@xrevan86 "Darwin is built around XNU, a hybrid kernel that combines the Mach 3 microkernel, various elements of BSD (including the process model, network stack, and virtual file system),[5] and an object-oriented device driver API called I/O Kit.[6]"
