Once upon a time, I had a dream OSX would leed to some kind of "semi

PPPffff, it was long time ago, and was really naive.
Hahaha, when I searched for a successor for my Atari St, my first guess
was Apple. It's not naive, since hardware is important, reliable
hardware is important, unfortunately my moneybag ships with some
limitations ;). I had the same dream. I won an iPad2 and can't use it,
since Vbox + oracle-ext + XP SP2 can't handle it. No jailbreak until
now, but I downloaded Absinth a long time ago, I simply wished to test a
"legal" iPad for a while. My iPad2 is unable to get iBooks, so every
elCheapo Ebookreader has more abilities than my iPad 2, just because I'm
using Linux. It's not a fault of Linux, it's spirit of mischief by
companies like M$ and Apfel.
PS: Do you know that there's a Apple community for old Apple OSs, I
guess before Apple switched to Intel? Even "gifted" Apple users don>'t
^^^^^ at least (broken English,
apologize)
follow the policy of Apple per se.
Could you guys keep it either ontopic and stop ranting about Microsoft
or Apple/OSX:
a) it doesn't help
b) it's a waste of your time, in that time you could have done something
usefull like contributing to an opensource project so that there are
better alternatives ;)
Pardon.
We, at least I shouldn't waste the time of other people.
No excuse for writing useless stuff, you're right, OTOH is it really
time, that could be used for something better?
Some people take "things" more or less serious.
We are on a software mailing list ... software is a joke regarding to
other simple issues such as
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_power_skinhead
You might call it polemic and OT for this list. Ok, you might be right,
where is the border? UEFI also is far away from the unconvincable
Neo-Nazis ... well everything so far is good, so there's no reason to be
polemic and in the end we'll chime in "we were not aware about it".
Yes, lets be quiet, sorry again,
Ralf
And yes, I'm a German, half of my grandparents would agree with you, the
other half was killed in WWII, because they made too much noise. I've a
criminal record for absence of the German armed forces.
In German we say "wehret den Anfängen".
Yes, I might be polemic, it might be completely useless, but do we know?
UEFI dosen't kill people, so I must be a polemic German idiot. Any
hints, when freedom really is attached and when we should talk about it
are welcome.
Oh, nobody today can get a criminal record for what I've done, the law
changed a little bit, because idiots like me where haunted and today
everybody has got a choice.
Note! Evil companies aren't stupid, they know how far they can go, IOW,
they take care that many people guess that criticism could be confused
with grotesque paranoia or too much noise on a mailing list.
I might be wrong, but you might be wrong too,
Ralf
WOW!!! I am an America/German Jew myself (1st generation here) and have
to say you're blending so many things unrelated with mediocre issues.
Secure Boot & MS & Apple DO NOT equal Hitler killing Jews!!!
So why not just stick to Arch Linux topics and how they directly relate
to actual issues at hand, or how secure boot would/will effect Arch.
Endless rants of evil this is just like evil that, makes you sound as
nutty as Hitler was.
I honestly do not care if you are right or I am, but these ramblings are
moot to the point the OP sent to the list. To me personally you have
gone past the point of OT, way way past it.
I think everyone who cares about this IS aware of it and if they feel
there is truly something to worry about then actually put action to the
rambles you post, such as following the link. Please keep Hitler out of
these talks, to me it is moronic, not polemic, or you just like stirring
the shit pot to see what floats.
