    I’m “defending” the fact that development on a mac is not some bastardized union, FOSS has had its place in the Mac world since forever and to say that using a mac to work on FOSS makes you a hypocrite or a joke is fucking dumb.

    Furthermore

    Open source software is at the heart of Apple platforms and developer tools. Apple manages the following projects and encourages your contribution.

      I mean, you’re using hardware from a company that is very blatantly anti consumer rights - thou shall not repair, thou shall not upgrade, thou shall not use third party anything, thou shall use Metal, for we despise OpenGL; not to mention that you have even less control on the mobile devices unless you pay a developer fee.

      The fact that MacOS has some FOSS under the hood is completely irrelevant.
