As someone who has to support MacOS desktop....... It functionally is?

Ok sure, it's not as bad as Android or iOS, but it's far from "anyone can simply download and run"

[-] Wodge@lemmy.world 25 points 2 years ago

TIL Android is a walled garden.

[-] Stovetop@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

Well, courts seemed to think so in the Epic v Google case

[-] Wodge@lemmy.world 28 points 2 years ago

Google Play Store is, kinda, but Android itself is not.

You can literally run anything you want on MacOS

[-] stratosfear@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 2 years ago

Totally like Counter-Strike

Except, what apple dont want you to run.

[-] ji17br@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Incorrect. Apple does not need to approve or sign any code for it to run on any Mac.

but it's far from "anyone can simply download and run"

But it is? You can just right click and run any apps from any source on macos.

Not sure why you’re getting downvoted on that. It’s factually accurate. You can easily run unsigned code from anywhere on a Mac, unwalled, no problem. I’ve got a SAB / radarr / sonarr / HASS server running on old hardware with a current OS and… it’s great.

Also isn’t Xcode free? So you can literally “simply“ download, develop, and run

How is it “functionally” walled? How is it far from “anyone can simply download and run”? It literally is just that. Anyone can download anything and run any unsigned code. I am baffled by the fact that all the people correcting you are getting downvoted.
