Thank you, you made a buncha nerds angry and now they’re fighting in the comment section >:(
Agreed. Thank you, but sincerely.
Is there some twisted definition by which you can argue Windows is UNIX? Just to intensify the violence.
GNU/Unix/NT, as I’ve taken to calling it
Back in the 90s, Windows NT had a POSIX compatibility layer that you could enable (it wasn’t enabled by default).
There’s also the WSL, which is pretty unix-y.
I think WSL1 was derived from the POSIX NT personality layer.
I did a wtf at dude 4 in frame 3 until I realized he was getting punched and not… well… if you don’t see it maybe I’m just net-warped.
i mean, dude 3 of frame 3 has the right expression for someone in that exact situation
Thought he was giving the zucc as well
Bravo, OP, bravo.
did you see 38c3? is there any doubt ios/osx is insecure, hackable and has plenty of rootkits avail? this facebook meme shouldnt trigger any tech savy nerd.
Oh so that’s the number I have seen floating around in memes and such. Chsos Com Congress FYI.
Unironically agree. I want to write my code, not your configs. The fact that saying it causes purists of every ilk to absolutely lose their fucking minds is a fringe benefit.
I mean, when we’re talking about UNIX, yeah MacOS is probably one of the best…
Linux ain’t UNIX though…
i guess linux can refer to bsd too
Account made two days go…
Ok, madthumbs. Sure.
Nah, it’s the “best unix” because being one requires paying those SUS bastards.
I’m late and this will get buried, but this really speaks to the difference between the open source / ESR / OSI ideology and the free software / RMS / GNU ideology.
Open source ideology says it is better because it produces better software. If MacOS X was closed source and better it serves as a repudiation of that ideology.
Free software ideology says it is better because denying users any of the four freedoms is an immoral act. If MacOS X was proprietary software and better, it would still be immoral to deny users their freedoms; the ideology is not impacted.
Free software ideology says it is better because denying users any of the four freedoms is an immoral act.
I find it weird how some people can strongly agree with that when it comes to software, but move to any other realm of human activity (economics, intellectual property, etc) and suddenly the same freedoms shouldn’t apply.
Well, you see, I deserve free software for my hobbies, or even my business. You deserve to suck shit and die in a gutter. /s
I think it’s because somebody has to produce that media, and the one producing it gets to choose the license for it, and that license can make it free or non-free.
Now, for open source software, somehow, a lot of people came together and built software that was free. While for movies, shows, books, whatever, the same thing didn’t happen, or at least not to the same extent.
I’m all for FOSS gaming btw.
I prefer Windows.
Yes this guy right here. Kill him with hammers…penguin hammers.
Spit on that thang
Based.
Secure from whom? Sure to be more government backdoors in MacOS.
Joke’s on you: GNU/Linux isn’t Unix to begin with (that’s literally what GNU means: “GNU’s Not Unix”)!
Therefore, MacOS is “the best Unix” only because it managed to squeeze by the BSDs and some dead proprietary Unixes (“Unices?” “Unixen?”) – hardly an impressive feat.
" Unic-i "
Unixi
BSDs aren’t even Unix AFAIK because they didn’t bother to pay for the official recognition, despite literally being derived from UNIX. MacOS is pretty much the only UNIX that the average user will actually directly interact with.
Although for both Linux and (especially) BSD, isn’t there a “Unix of Theseus” issue here, if you understand my meaning?
Maybe for BSD? They have a lot of the original code though, and BSD moves a lot slower than Linux. Modern BSDs have a lot more in common with original UNIX than macOS does, but macOS paid for the certification and the BSDs didn’t.
Linux never was UNIX though. It does loosely follow the UNIX philosophy though.
