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.
-
@omni They are probably referring to the walled-garden approach Apple uses along with how restrictive they are on the hardware.
-
@toksyuryel Ah, that makes sense. I was somewhat confused because Windows isn't an open platform either.
-
@redenchilada That as well. But hey, everyone who knows how much something is worth does that.
-
@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.

@omni ...What the heck are you talking about. Penguins don't eat apples.
-
@omni A demented and stoned looking penguin. :P
-
@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".
-
@omni No, no, no, BSD is perfectly fine!
-
@omni Plus the modern Mac OS runs on a BSD kernel.
-
@toksyuryel No it doesn't.
-
@omni That still doesn't make any sense!
-
@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]"
-
@toksyuryel having some BSD code inside doesn't make it a BSD. Or would you call Windows a BSD?
-
@kamikaze I have always heard it described as being a BSD kernel. What would you describe it as?
-
@toksyuryel A mach kernel?
-
@kamikaze Isn't that a BSD kernel though?
-
@redenchilada Your face doesn't make any sense!
-
-
@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>

@derpyshy How are you doing? :x
-
@omni Fine, you?
-
@derpyshy Okay-ish, I guess? o,o
-
@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.
-
@omni What book? o,o
-
@omni The file you're downloading might be very new or very unpopular.
-
@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.
-
@derpyshy I guess I'll share a bit with you later or so :P
