You should not identify yourself with Apple's operating system.

If I want I will identify myself with whatever I decide to identify myself with; I don't really care about Apple, but now you've turned it into a matter of principle, moralizing what people shouldn't do.

You should not identify yourself with GNU/Linux. How did you like that?

How about identifying oneself with JustWorks(SM), vertical integration, and things being purposely designed not to get in one's way?



Then you will find yourself compromised when using software made by another school of thought. shrug


Compromised in what way?

There are other, non-GNU free software alternatives out there.


And you are free to use them. Have fun.


I have, and I will. What about the rest of you?


Well, some will join you. Some will consider the lack of multicoloured emojis in emacs on mac a minor issue at best and continue to use what they do.


I wasn't referring to emojis, but to GNU and GNU/Linux. GNU and Stallman are the culprits here; Emacs is just a symptom.


I've always identified with ProDOS.


I always preferred SOS. More sophisticated.
