Bye bye, Apple

As if all the bullshit relating to Mac Os-X Catalina and the software notarization wasn’t already enough, the switch to the ARM architecture has sealed it. I now have 0% interest in making Apple-compatible software.

Of course, when I release open source software, anyone who is willing to pay all the Apple related expenses, can make them compatible, build them and distribute the binaries. (As long as the licenses are respected.) But I am no longer going to even think about it myself. I might release some binaries that will work in OS-X 10.13 (and maybe 10.14), but that’s the most I will do in the future and will also stop doing that once my already aged Mac laptop ceases working.

    Congratulations — you’ve finally woken up to reality: the Apple is rotten to the core, but the Windows are clear. 🙂

      Well, I never was that sleepy about Apple to begin with but this stuff in the recent years has pretty much made it impossible to work for their platform anymore.

    Mutation in progress on Linux Ubuntu (about me) after x… decades on Apple

    I’ll be glad enough as a user when I can get out of the apple foodchain, but I’m not willing and barely capable of switching to Linux yet.
    See you when it happens I guess. It will, I’m sure.
